DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release) Grey's Anatomy executive producer Shonda Rhimes combines the heart and soul of television's top-rated drama with exciting new faces in a sun-drenched new location to create a drama with a very different vibe. It's an intimate portrait of the choices and changes we make in our search for happy lives. Following a failed attempt at reconciliation and two disastrous affairs, neonatal surgeon Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery craves a new relationship and journeys to Santa Monica to seek advice from her med school friends, Naomi and Jackson. But she finds her idealized view of their achievements – successful marriage, 14-year-old daughter and a highly successful health cooperative – doesn't match reality. Jackson's success as a TV health guru pushed him to divorce Naomi and now he's lonely. Fertility specialist Naomi wants love, but she doubts their boyish surfer/receptionist is the answer. The rest of the Oceanside Wellness Group staff has their own life issues. The sexy alternative medicine doc is a widower masking his grief with one-night stands. The gynecologist who doesn't know a thing about women had his car stolen by this week's Internet hookup. And the therapist doubts she's doing any good at all. Fortunately, together they're a formidable medical team doing cutting-edge work. Working with them, Addison realizes that moving to Southern California and joining her friends could be the right prescription for her own life. Starring Kate Walsh (Grey's Anatomy), Tim Daly (Wings, The Nine), Amy Brenneman (Judging Amy), Chris Lowell (Veronica Mars), Merrin Dungey (Alias), Paul Adelstein (Prison Break), and Taye Diggs (Day Break, Kevin Hill). It's a warm, funny, deeply affecting character drama against the backdrop of the joys and sorrows all doctors experience while practicing medicine.

Okay, so is it completely terrible that I'm actually KIND OF looking forward to this?

BOOOOOOOO HISS! I'm still in denial, yep.

Lol my wall of denial is slowly coming down...I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time it sucks because then that means I will have to add another show onto DVD Box Sets to buy lol. It's a part of Grey's so I feel like i have to!

yeah it's gonna be hard to get to know these characters at first. especially since none of them are interns... you kinda need to have main characters from all levels of the hospital don't you?

I dont want her to gooooooooooooo! :sob: :sob: :sob:

It doesnt sound too bad but it just seems a bit cheesy 'oceanside wellness' 'sun-drenched' all that you know!
