Crossover Drama

Recently, on ABC, they have had two of their major drama television series “crossover” with each other. For the last two weeks Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice have been in connection with each other making it a one two hour show instead of two one hour shows that have nothing to do with eachother. Dr. Shepherd from Grey’s Anatomy was called while he was getting ready to propose to Dr. Meredith Grey and was needed to perform surgery on his ex-wife’s brother who are both characters in Private Practice. Here is the re-cap of what the last two episodes had in store for us... “Derek is ready to propose to Meredith, but wants to wait until the right moment, because, as he tells Mark, "she spooks easily." Mark advises Derek to wait, Cristina tells him to keep it simple, while the Chief advises Derek to go all out. Derek is surprised when Meredith mentions how cute their kids will be, so he takes it as a sign he should go ahead and propose. Meredith finds Cristina in an on-call room, with Owen fast asleep. "He's planning to propose," she tells Meredith, but she's talking about Richard in the diary, not Derek. “You have been acting like a basket case," Meredith tells Derek as he prepares to leave the hospital for the day, "If you don't want babies or you don't want babies with my crappy DNA, just say so." "Meredith, I want your crappy babies, all of them," he tells her, but insists he has to go. With Mark's help, Derek has decorated their bedroom with dozens of roses, candles and teddy bears, but after he gets a call, thinks better of it. The only evidence of his romantic gesture: A single rose Meredith finds under her pillow.”
In the second episode of the crossovers Addison and her brother and friend show up. These three are the characters from Private Practice although Addison used to be on Grey’s Anatomy and then started up with her own show, Private Practice. “Addison arrives at Seattle Grace with her brother Archer, who's collapsed due to a parasite in his brain. Archer suffered a seizure during sex with his girlfriend, Naomi, who also happens to be Addison's best friend. Derek announces that surgery is not an option as Archer has eight cysts in his brain, any one of which could burst during surgery and kill him. Derek consults with the best doctors and they all agree the case is hopeless. Sam, Naomi's ex and a fellow doctor at the Wellness Center in LA, urges Derek to consider treating the cysts one by one. Derek decides it's doable and talks a reluctant Archer into having the surgery. Meanwhile, seeing all of Derek's old friends and hearing about how he sang and played guitar at his wedding to Addison makes Meredith realize there's a side of Derek she doesn't know at all.”

Personally, I think they are only doing this to get people to watch the two shows more , so that even after the whole crossover thing is done with, hopefully, people that didn’t watch one or the other of the shows before will watch both instead of just one of them to get their ratings up. After this thing is over, I still don’t think I will watch Private Practice because I don’t have the time. I haven’t really ever watched an episode and it is probably really good…but no time with all the homework!
