a baaaaad thing

We’re halfway through tonight’s two-hour episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Which we were were excited about, but that was before we realized this is really just a two-hour test pilot for Addison Montgomery’s new show. Now, I’m all about Kate Walsh/Addison Montgomery. She’s way hotter than Meredith, she’s smart and competent, she has only hooked up with hot men on this show. All good things. Here are some bad things: spin-offs, LA, and new friends that are pitiful copies of her old ones on Grey’s. And another bad thing – deception! When you promote an exciting major new episode, there should be bombs, wounded doctors, and tragic deaths. There should not be Taye Diggs walking along an LA beach with a little rat dog.

The best part of the new show – since these friends are not real doctors, nor do they work at a real hospital, that means that Addison wears super cute outfits. Not nearly as cute as the extremely-covetable green trench Izzie was wearing just now for her adultery-in-an-elevator scene, but cute, nonetheless.

Worst part of the new show – Addison and her new friends (also in their 40s) ogling a teenage boy in board shorts. Ew. Ew.

Meredith’s dad just slapped her. I generally encourage slapping Meredith whenever possible, but I don’t think that’s very good parenting.

Note to ABC: this is a baaaaaad thing.
