Private Practice Season 6 Report Card: A-
As we prepare to say goodbye to Private Practice Season 6 and therefore, of course, the series as a whole, let’s take a look back at where this unusual season has gone so far.
With Shonda Rhimes and company mixing things up via character-centric installments, viewer reaction has been mixed. Where do you stand on the opening 10 episodes? Read through the following Report Card and then cast your vote...
Best Character: Charlotte. I didn’t think it was possible, but I’ve somehow managed to fall even more in love with KaDee Strickland’s portrayal. She’s always made us laugh and cry, but her pregnancy has completely transformed her into an even more dynamic fireball that keeps us on our toes. Plus, CharCoop’s journey has been an epic aspect of Private Practice. Undoubtedly, I will miss them the most.
Worst Character: Sam. It just seemed like there wasn’t much of a story to tell for Sam if he wasn’t with Addison. His episode was also definitely a miss. More on that soon, though.
Best Episode: It’s a tie between “Apron Strings” and “Georgia on My Mind." While we saw Addie overcome challenges with Henry’s biological mother, she also got engaged to Jake and now a wedding is on the way. Meanwhile, Charlotte totally rocked her installment with numerous unforgettable Private Practice quotes.
Worst Episode: “The Next Episode." Talk about snoozefest! This may have honestly been the worst episode in Private Practice history. Blame it on my distaste of reality television, but Sam deserved a much better storyline.
Best Guest Appearance: Marisol Nichols as Jake’s deceased wife, Lily. She was phenomenal on “The World According to Jake."
Hopes for 2013: Of course, I’d love nothing more than a strong sendoff for our favorite doctors. Let’s hope the Seaside Wellness doctors end up content with their lives. As a huge fan of flash forwards, I wouldn’t mind seeing where and how everyone ends up. I’m super excited to meet the rest of CharCoop’s triplets, witness the Jaddison wedding and the return of Audra McDonald as Naomi.

Can't wait for Amelia episode! :) Even though I think it's stupid to do this already, I would rate this season A/A- so far. :)

Folks, I know that there are only three episodes left, but I didn't want Private Practice to be left out of the "Mid Season Report Cards." Plus, it's always fun to sit back and analzye the show especially when it's on hiatus for now.

All due respect, but isn't this a little too soon for a report card?

I really hope Naomi is in the entire finale and just isn't written in for about 5 minutes. I will be devastated and if she doesn't get any real screen time regardless of her being a guest star.

I watched the first two episodes of the season and then deleted the recording from my DVR. Although Charlotte is one of my favorite characters - Pete was also a favorite. Without him I lost interest in the show. Couldn't stand another season of watching Violet wallow. Without Tim Daly there was no good reason to watch.

I agree with saj14saj because you can't rate it yet since its not over. However, so far I think it deserves an A-/A. I say this because some episodes were not good at all!!!!!! Like the Sam episode was horrendous (sorry Shonda) it was so dumb to bring in these characters and just develop a storyline for one episode. Like why give Sam a whole episode when he didn't need it. Also, since I'm not a Jaddison fan (unusual, I know!) I didn't like those two characters together this season. When Addison chose Jake and when he proposed I was yelling "NOOOOO!!!!" But the Charcoop storyline this season is absolutely fantastic. I love Kadee so much and triplets is triple the fun! Especially with Charlotte! Throughout this whole show we have seen so many different sides to Charlotte: tough, sad, lonely, desperate, hurt, pregnant, funny, motherly and so many more. The only thing about this season that bothers me is that we don't see all the characters in each episode. Like I'm the biggest Caterina fa

I don't know how you can rate the season before it is complete. The finale will be crucial.
I couldn't give the progress so far a grade of A-, because of the Sam episode. I had to turn that one off it was so bad. I realize you have to take a risk to get a win, but that one should have never gotten out of editing.
