Private Practice Audience Grows
It seems the move from Wednesday nights to Thursday nights following Grey’s Anatomy has given sophomore series, Private Practice, a big boost in ratings.
The show has been up nine percent its usual ratings after moving to Thursdays at the beginning of this year. The push from Grey’s Anatomy has helped this series a lot, not that it was in any danger in the first place.
This weeks episode even sealed the show’s rankings as Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice did a cross-over.
Addison returns from California to Seattle Grace to seek the help of her ex-husband, Derek. She wants him to save her brother from dying from a rare brain condition, which turned out to be successful.
On the other hand, while conveniently there in Seattle Grace, Addie helps Derek save a pregnant mother from losing both her life and her baby’s life by doing a complicated procedure. It, too, turned out successful.
Did you watch the cross-over this week? Did you like seeing Addison back in her old place of work?
