I was slow to warm up to Gray's, mainly because I don't like Meredith, but I have really come to enjoy the show and a lot of that is the character of Addison. I like that she is so highly competent in her profession, but not so much so in her personal life. I like her new interaction with Derek, the flirtation with Alex, her friendship with Callie, etc. As much as I like the character though, I can't really imagine tuning in to a new show focused on her; and neither of the announced co-stars change my opinion on that. Maybe if they cast the actor who played Denny on the new show.... http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74151Wed, 28 Feb 2007 17:29:20 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74151Heather, Olympia, WAI hate the idea of a spin off. I love what the character of Addison brings to the show and the chemistry btwn her & alex.

I love the chemistry that the WHOLE cast has with each other. The possibility of a spin-off would be nice in a couple of years, but it is a little soon. The only way that I see the new show working would be if Addison and McSteamy both go back to NYC and start their new relationship and new show together.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74243Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:05:49 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74243Annie Rochester, NYI think the idea of a spin off is ridiculous.

I think the show will do great b/c most of Grey's fans will watch it and Kate deserves more airtime- she is great! I think Addison should go back to New York and pick up where she left off before she moved to Seattle. I will watch her make it on a new show.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74299Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:33:08 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74299Lori, Levittown, NYI think a show with Addison going to NY and starting over would work if they use the same formula as Grey's. I think people would believe she would pick up and leave now that Meredith and Derek are together. I never could understand after that happened why she stayed around. I wouldn't be able to stay around and watch them together. I don't really love her character on the show but I am starting to get used to her. If she leaves there is still plenty of people left for the writers to have story lines.I just don't know if she could hold her own show. She needs a good supporting cast to help her out. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74324Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:42:15 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74324NH, CaliforniaI don't like the idea.

Now that she has him she seems to not like it so much. I am tired of that storyline and her character is boring to me. Addison has a brilliant screen presence and is fun to watch.

I got so fed up with Shonda, Isaah, and ABC during their poor handling of the TR Knight debacle, that I had to quit watching the show all together. (Seriously, rehab for being a homophobe?

In reality, the other characters have completely overshadowed Pompeo's whiny, self-absorbed Grey. Addison is the most interesting character on the whole show. But frankly, the three-parter was execrable.

However, if you remove her from the show you remove the struggle that keeps the show going and the thirst for resolution from the viewers who keep coming back for more.

Addison is a great and straong character, never whiny and mopey, unlike a certain Gery's main character.

It has been done and when in the right location (i.e. CSI:... and Law&Order...) it is brilliant. I love Addison and believe that she is a big fish in a little pond with Grey's.

It will be interesting to see how they make the spin off work. Addison moving back to New York as she did not save her marriage with Derek makes since.

Meredith has become tedious. In fact, they should bring in some new trainees and introduce some new interpersonal dynamics since the old ones are starting to wear thin. I like Addison but most likely wouldn't watch an entire show having to do with a neo-natal specialty. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74802Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:13:35 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74802Bo Diddley, Simpsonville, SC99% of the people on this forum that say they love Grey's Anatomy, loved it before Addison was even introduced to the show. Now they're scared that Addison leaving will be a negative to GA? Addison is a great character, but the way this show goes, they're going to have to constantly have new doctors coming and going. Let's face it, this is a show where every doctor is going to sleep with every doctor. (Izzie-Alex)(Georgie-Callie)(Callie-McSteamy)(McSteamy-Addison)(Addison-Sheppard)(Sheppard-Grey)(Grey-George)(Yang-Burke)(George-Nurse girl that gave him syphillis-who got it from Alex). We all can see the Addison-Alex and the George-Izzie relationship coming in the future, but where else can you really go? Alex and Bailey?? The Chief and Izzie?? McSteamy and Yang?? I hate to tell you people this, but there are going to be major characters in this show that will only be around 2-3 seasons. This was probably the case with Addison. She came onto the show as a BAD person. She was never supposed to turn into being loved by the audience, but she did and that says a lot for Kate Walsh. That she could turn this character around like she did. THAT is why she's getting the opportunity to star in a spin off and rightly so. If it bombs, it bombs, but I'm not going to pass judgement on it until I see it. Also, what's up with the Meredith bashing here (the character, not Ellen Pompeo). I think it's a great character. She's flawed, which we all are. She goes through relationship problems, jealousy issues and the occasional "think I'm better than everyone else" times just like everybody else does. I think people don't like the character because they can see too much of themselves in her.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74833Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:21:02 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74833May, Houston, TXGet off it, Brad! I don't necessarily think it would be a great idea. But they have excellent writers on Grey's so maybe it would work.

Shonda don't be greedy girl, stick with one show write it well and see if this goes past a few more seasons before you try a spin off. Does not make any sense to me why any of you or your staff think this is a good idea. I love Addison also but to take her way from the current show and have her own show, it makes NO SENSE! Please don't, you would hate for it to flop and have everyone say well told ya! Just don't let Grey's fall to the wayside as far as writting goes. I had heard Shonda was going to write a show for "Denny" but is letting that sit on the back burner for this show. I tell you I would be willing to watch a show w/Jeffery Dean Morgan in it, as I am sure alot of people would.. but just my opinion which I know doesn't make one bit of difference..http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74859Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:28:18 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74859Angela, Saginaw, MII think it's a great idea!!

If they want to kill the show, one of the hottest shows on television, then they can be my guest and spin off Addison to her own private drama--which will fail and take GA down with it. The producers know this, and are just floating the idea, I'm sure; and I doubt that anything will come of this concept.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74889Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:35:16 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74889Molly SemanianAddison is only interesting in context with the other Grey's characters.

Addison in a "spinoff show"! Could work if the show's concept is different then GA's. Fewer but strong characters, more in depth Addison. Could work. Thought she was a _itch when she first came on the show, but she's evolved into an intricate part of who/what the other characters were/have become. GA would miss her AND the bad part is, if the other show fails, she can't come back to Greys. Ah but they'll do it anyway.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#74950Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:51:57 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:74950Lori, Glendora, CAA spinoff with Addison might well become a good show, but I think it would seriously diminish GA to have her leave.

This is how it should happen Addison and McSteamy leave Seattle Grace to go live happily ever after in New York (if the spin off doesnt work well with the new show for Addison) then as usual McSteamy cheats on Addison and breaks her heart all over again and she comes back to Seattle Grace to get over him and her and Alex start dating.

First, to spin off one character from an ensemble show is a poor choice (though Grey's is quickly losing its ensemble charm in favor of the more "ER"-flavored crisis du jour). Also, of all the characters to spin off, Addison is the least interesting, with the possible exception of Izzy (which is too bad, because I like Katherine Heigl). I also agree that Taye Diggs is the new prime time Grim Reaper, taking over for Ted McGinley. Look in your rear view mirror, Shonda, to see that shark you just jumped. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75083Wed, 28 Feb 2007 22:37:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75083B.

This show is getting very mediocre after a good start. I hate what has been done to the Residents. They seem to be getting less mature, which is the reverse of what needs to happen if they are going to make it through Residency. I also almost barfed when the Attendings were acting like downright fools when they were clambering to kiss up (when they thought they might be in line to be the head of the surgeons). Yeah, like acting like twits is going to impress someone with their lack of maturity. The shows with the ferry boat accident were so poorly done. This isn't supposed to be "Scrubs".

Katherine Heigl who plays Izzie is one of the best characters on the show. What's the problem with paying her what she's worth? She is a much better actress than Pompao who plays Meredith. If Heigl leaves the series, the series will have a short run. Taking Addison out of GA and into a spin-off isn't a very smart idea at this time. She's a good actress and adds an interesting and strong character to the ensamble. Look at the Law & Order shows. Acters and actresses from the original show were not used in spin-offs for the new shows. These shows made it with a new cast and are good shows. The same can be said about CSI.

Not just becuase it's too soon, but because the reason Grey's Anatomy works so well and wins the award for ensemble cast is because of the entire cast - you can't pick and choose certain people to have their own show.

I have to agree. Although, I'm pretty new to Grey's I really like the show (I just started to watch this season). I think if "Addison" leaves it would be a loss to G.A. and a spin-off could hurt both shows.

That way, the cast would be expanded and be able to cross over at any time. That would be the best - just think of the story lines that could be followed through both shows.

Kreutzer, CAThis is the only show that I religiously watch each week. I love that there are so many different characters and how they interact to one another is what makes this show the best. I could see a spinoff if the show was coming to an end of its journey but, it's too soon. I use to watch ER the way I watch this show until too many different characters were created each season. That show has had a long run and even though I have started watching it here and there it's just not the same as the earlier seasons. Kate Walsh is great on this show but, I don't think people are ready to invest more time watching on another time slot.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75267Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:21:33 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75267Karen Krisberg, Buffalo Grove, IllinoisI love Grey's Anatomy and the performances of all the actors.

I like Addison's character so much more know than when she was first introduced. I would hate to see her go but if they choose to do this spinoff then Taye Diggs shouldn't be a leading character/love interest and if they do spin her off she should be the Chief at a different hospital. Meredith should have died and been replaced with someone not so annoying.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75299Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:37:08 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75299Kerri D, Newport News, VAWhat is Addison's real profession? Is she a OB-GYN or a neonatal surgeon? I can't tell.

If so, and if you must insist on a spin-off, I have an idea for you. Kill off Izzy, bring her back with Denny, and write the 21st century "Topper" series. You could even include Meredith's dog. Of course, it would have to be a more modern, spiced up version, but with Denny's popularity it may possibly work. And then you would have a place to put any other character killed off on Grey's. Just a thought. And by the way, I thought the best part of the three part series was the return of Denny.

I think it is great. I had been a true and loyal fan from the beginning until the episode concerning the near drowning. Only the writers know how long she was supposedly under water, but I don't believe anyone could survive and if so, they would never be able to practice medicine again. Plus all the Dr's gathered outside of the O.R. Who was caring for all the other seriously injured people? I don't think that would happen in the real world. So with regret, I've decided to quit viewing it. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75351Thu, 01 Mar 2007 01:14:47 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75351ME in PAA spin off is a very bad idea.

They all seem to click and they always keep the show interesting. It will be like the show ER. The more the characters were changed, the worse the show got.

To me, one of the great things about GA is the ENSEMBLE CAST...gee, didn't they win an award for that? I think there are PLENTY of story lines left for Addison, with or without Mark Sloan or Derek Shepherd. Wouldn't it be great, since GA prides itself on DIVERSITY, to have a WOMAN in the running for Chief of Surgery? I think Ms. Rhimes is very creative - but based on the uneveness of GA this season, I'd like to see her be creative 'with the one who brung her' as they say. Focus on Grey's - the cast is excellent, the characters are rich - and the audience base is devoted, to say the least. And, btw -- there was another Rhimes project, now scrapped in lieu of 'Addison's Anatomy', that was to include Jeffrey Dean Morgan....While I still think that Ms. Rhimes should stick to GA for right now, I could certainly support a show that cast JDM and didn't kill him off after a few episodes!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75394Thu, 01 Mar 2007 01:47:25 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75394Callie O'Malley, Seattle WashingtonThis is a very bad idea. ABC is just trying to make even more money off of a successful franchise. But you know what they say..."If it's not broke, don't fix it". Addison leaving at this point in the series would just be pointless after going through all the trouble of integrating her with the rest of the cast. This spin-off has the fate of Matt LeBlanc's "Joey" written all over it. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75434Thu, 01 Mar 2007 02:27:07 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75434VMarloOh, please don't do that.

So don't go there. Greys does a great job of giving all of the actors great storylines and ample screen time. Greys has the perfect recipe for a successful show? Why not try to recreate it --and with an actress as strong as Kate Walsh. I would at least for it.. wouldn't you? Oh and instead of Taye Diggs they should go Broadway again and hire his wife.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75446Thu, 01 Mar 2007 02:40:12 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75446Tracy, Dickinson, TexasGrey's Anatomy is a great show. Why mess with something that is wonderful? Is the show tired of making money and being on top? Addison is kinda boring to me, so her getting her own show is probably not a good idea.

Flaky Christina would do better with a spinoff. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75467Thu, 01 Mar 2007 02:57:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75467Erin, Des Moines, IAI absolutely hate this idea!

And frankly, the cast of Grey's are a bunch of brats if they cannot be happy for a co-worker that they formally called a friend. Hollywood is just a bunch of ego's They all have this sense of entitlement that is creating a negative image, and makes me not want to watch any of them.

Both shows will end up "watered down" and less appealing. Please just stick to Grey's and continue to put your 110% into it and keep it on top. Better one top show than two average shows.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75505Thu, 01 Mar 2007 03:27:41 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75505LeslieI completely agree with what I feel most people are saying, this is the only tv show I watch and the characters together have such great flow, energy, and drama that it would spoil the show to take away even one of them. Now Kate's part may not be big in Grey's but its an important one, now that we've got everyone else's love lifes figured out we need to her there to do the little dance between Karev and McSteamy and any other character that comes along. One of the best aspects of this show is the weird relationships.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75523Thu, 01 Mar 2007 03:47:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75523Chrissie S., Murray, Ky.It would be hard to decide really which show I love the most, Grey's or House. I think I would survive if Addison left the show. I don't really believe her to be a strong candidate for her own show. No matter how people feel about Mereideth, and I love her on the show, without her or McDreamy the show would crash and burn. Yeah, Addison? Could cope w/o her. I like Steve L.'s idea, let Addison move over with house they would get on well together...talk about drama.

It's only ending its 3rd season!! While Addison is not my favorite character, she helps make the show Grey's Anatomy. I love how all the characters and acotrs have this amazing dynamic about them, that keeps you interested. Take one character out of the equation....and it won't be nearly as good as it was. So please keep Kate on GA. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75619Thu, 01 Mar 2007 06:27:40 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75619Geri, Houston, TXI've been a fan since the beginning, I love McDreamy and I agree with the person who said we don't like Meredith because she reminds us too much of ourselves, we're all a little dark & twisty... I have never come to like Addison, as much as the show has tried to get me to, and I think a spinoff for her will fail miserably. Her character does bring some depth to the show, and I am actually impressed with her ability to fight off her relationship with Alex, simply because she finds it inappropriate in the work environment. Not sure how I feel about the abortion topic, but there's definitely a good story to tell. Leave her in Seattle, save Meredith from her own self-destructive insecurities, and let's see a great wedding for Christina and Burke! http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75639Thu, 01 Mar 2007 07:24:13 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75639Paul, Toronto, OntarioAfter giving this some thought, I've come to the conclusion that it just might be a good idea. Addison is one of the few likeable characters on the show, and giving her a spinoff would make it easier for me to dismiss GA entirely. Grey's has started to lose me recently with the ridiculous behaviour of its characters (especially Izzie and Christina), and the dead-end direction of some of its previously enjoyable storylines (i.e. Meredith and McDreamy). It seems all shows have a shelf-life to them, and Grey's Anatomy is fast approaching its due date. Give Addison a fresh start somewhere else, and try to build the new show a with plausible, likeable cast. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75738Thu, 01 Mar 2007 12:51:04 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75738S.

Fair enough if the show wasn't doing too well but their ratings are through the roof and Addison is one of the favourite characters. I also don't think the character is stable enough to have her own show. The only way it would work I think would be if the show was about the Addison but nobody from Grey's Anatomy appeared in it. So it's just her story starting off from when she leaves Seattle Grace. I think bringing Grey's characters into it would mix it up too much. It's a stupid idea though. LEAVE GREY'S ALONE!!! Change is bad at this point after everything that's been happening lately. Down the track when everything is stable and Addison is a more stable character, then try. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75859Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:20:22 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75859Sharon, Buffalo, NY It's hard to remember a spin off that really 'worked'.

I told my husband I felt Addison was the best of all the characters. She has the looks and the brains as oppose to the mismatched sorry chemistry of all the other thrown together couples on the show.

What are Shonda Rimes and her producers thinking? Addison has added so much to "Grey's Anatomy", because of her drive, passion, and complex relationships with McSteamy, Derek, Alex, Meredith, and the rest of the Seattle Grace staff. Then there's her drinking and sex. If she went back to NYC, she'd be, what, Chief of Staff or Head of the Neonatal Unit. Isn't she in the running for the COS job at Seattle Grace? I agree that some spinoffs have worked very well, especially the Cheers spin-off, Frasier, which had the occasional visit from former Cheers characters. How many SG staffers are going to go to NYC, and visit Addison? What are they going to do there, in a hospital setting? (I found it very interesting that last Thursday's episode featured Vondie Curtis Hall in a small role, with Adam Arkin directing, since both had been on "Chicago Hope" years ago.) If Addison's show doesn't work, she can always reapply to SG, and come back to Seattle.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#75948Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:28:07 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:75948Linda, Nassau, BahamasI think that this is a very bad idea to create a spin off, it is too soon leave it as it is I like Addison let her get back with McSteamy leave it as is dont do this it's crazy.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#76095Thu, 01 Mar 2007 17:55:01 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:76095Kip Powell Greenville SCSimple, Grey's Cast - GET OVER YOURSELVES!!

However, if then Issie leaves too (just pay her what she wants!)then the show is left with absolutely no edge, no buzz and a seriously (seriously!) diminished drive, motivation, edge & appeal!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#76547Fri, 02 Mar 2007 00:51:12 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:76547Jenn , Denver,CoA spin-off already!?!? I think it is a bad move, hopefully Kate will get some common sense and decide to stay with the Grey's cast.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#76576Fri, 02 Mar 2007 01:13:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:76576Janie, Troy, MIGo Addison! Merideth is ridiculouly whiny, and if Mark will go with Addison, I'll stop watching Grey's Anatomy altogether. Addison, Alex, and Mark are the only reason to watch the show now. All of the other characters are boring.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#76644Fri, 02 Mar 2007 02:40:06 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:76644Elaine Laing, San Jose, CAI cant possibly find the time watch yet another show...it's hard enough to see Greys and I only catch the last 20 minutes since i work Thurs. night...so no I wont watch the new show and I do like Addison...what is wrong with people who are lucky enough to be on a hit show and leave prematurely to get "their own"...remember Rob Lowe on West Wing? He bounced around forever after leaving a hit show. Watch out Addison.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#76758Fri, 02 Mar 2007 05:06:09 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:76758Diana Verner, Seattle, Wash.I think Shonda missed a good chance for a spinoff with Denny's Free Clinic with Izzie and Bailey in charge. Other GA characters could do occasional drop-in story lines while keeping the home fires burning. And, I wonder why Burke's parents didn't show up for his second operation. Addison should stay with GA: she's dynamite compared to Meredith.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#76935Fri, 02 Mar 2007 14:33:30 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:76935Carol, Orlando, FlThere is a much better moniker for the potential spin off than Addison's Anatomy. Her name is Addison Forbes Montgomery (no more Shepherd after the divorce ya know.) So the new show could be called Montgomery's Ward.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#77170Fri, 02 Mar 2007 17:50:18 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:77170Stacey, Raleigh NCSuzee (previous poster) has a point about Addison being the one with the brains and looks. The three "main" girls (Izzie, Meredith and Cristina) don't have it, yet, because they're just interns and aren't yet fully-developed doctors. I'd imagine they'd get that sophistication with time. If I had to pick a character to go, it certainly wouldn't be Addison. It would be Meredith. She's whiny and annoying and I truly can't believe she's the star. I enjoy the other characters so much more. A great spin on last week's near-drowning would have been to get rid of Meredith and let Ellis live...let Ellis recover...let Ellis practice medicine again. It would still be GA. :) http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#77210Fri, 02 Mar 2007 18:24:15 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:77210Toni, Olathe, KSI think it would be a great idea! I love Kate's Addison. She is a great actress I think she can carry a show on her own. Lets face it Grey's is really going in the crazy direction and if I wanted to watch a show with anyone it would be Addison! Maybe McSteamy can go :)! Oh and Georgi,Alex,Izzie,Yang,Bailey,the chief,Burk,and I guess we could have Derek! Well hell u should have killed off Merideth and renamed the show! Then that will be a great show!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#77380Fri, 02 Mar 2007 20:35:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:77380Anne B, Omaha, NebraskaSpin off?? Please don't do that, the one thing that actually makes this show watchable at times is Addison.

Addison balances out the other women on the show, except for Callie. Both of those women are beautiful, well-balanced characters who aren't either always angry, always surly, always whiny or always crying. If they were gonna give anyone from that show a spin off, i would suggest Bailey. I like her character and she's the only one on the show that they haven't completely fleshed out. I think she would have a lot more interesting show than Addison. I do like the "Montgomery's Ward" title though. lolhttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#77829Sat, 03 Mar 2007 17:10:03 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:77829Cate, Washington, DCKate is an amazingly beautiful & gifted actress...she certainly can carry a spin-off.

After 10 years and deciding to end it, the idea came into place to try a spin-off for Joey. It failed miserably in no time flat. Ever hear the expression: "If it aint broke don't fix it"? It applies here. Individually, not one actor on GA is a shining star, but, collectively, their chemistry is simply amazing. The group, as a whole, are truly believable Drs., surgeons, interns, etc. Separately, they are just so-so actors. Why knock down something that was so skillfully and eloquently built. Leave it alone for a few seasons, let it run its course naturally. The viewing public will let you know when it's time for something different. You did good with this one. The awards this program and cast has won says a lot.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#78179Sun, 04 Mar 2007 18:05:53 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:78179Joyce, Kansas CityThis will insure the cancellation of both shows.

As for her show, i think she'd be able to do a good job, but if it's written by the same people from GA i think it will be too much like Grey's and will just bomb.Also, meredith's a great character, NO ONE'S PERFECT, so stop saying mean stuff about her character. She's messed up about things like most people are. She has some immature tendencies but who doesn't once and awhile, she's human. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#78569Mon, 05 Mar 2007 13:02:42 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:78569Kathleen DunniganHere's an idea: Let's have a Denny Backstory.

And they've ruined all of that for this stupid spinoff!! I wish they'd reconsider it and leave her where she can do her best work I think!!!

That, as in my case, is watched by males because of wives/girlfriends. It is one of the most inane and weak plots of a successful show that I have seen. Peyton Place in scrubs. But, if there were one character that I do like, it is Addison as she brings some maturity and, even with past indescretion, some sense of morality. You can keep whiny Meredith and Mr. Ego, Isaaiah Washington. If she goes, I won't be watching either, wife or no wife.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#78678Mon, 05 Mar 2007 15:23:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:78678Marlene, Charlotte, NCI wouldn't mind a spinoff if it could be a cross over that included more than Kate's character. Hector Elizondo is a very good actor and a familiar face to tv audiences as he was on Chicago Hope for the entire run of that medical series. I think Bailey and Izzie would be great for the new show. Both of these actresses along with Kate Walsh are far better than the others on Gray's Anatomy. There is no way I want to lose the character of Madison so if the new show does not work out, make sure she can come back to Gray's. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#78780Mon, 05 Mar 2007 17:12:51 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:78780Laureen, NJMy feelings on a spinoff: NO! Why would you change something that is working so well. All the characters play off of one another so well. I like Addison, she has been interwoven into the fabric, the show is about grown up relationships, what happens in life, she betrayed her husband, realized too late she made a mistake, tried to get him back, failed and now it's about her reshaping her life, haven't we all had to at one time or another? Let's see how it evolves before sending her off to her own show. Of course, time is a factor too, I don't have time for one more television program, oh and why is everyone so down on Meredith's character? Great show! Leave it alone.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#79132Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:53:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:79132Krisie Van ZantStars of Gray's Anatamon being disgruntled is ridiculous! They were virtual unknowns (except for McDreamy) until this show and now they're all jealous because one of the more talented and attractive stars is moving on -- good for her! Meredith was especially unknown and now she's miffed because as "star" of the supposedly ensemble show she was not consulted -- boy, actors are known for their egos and then they live right up to the bad reputations! Good for Addison, bad for Gray's, because she had become one of my favorites to watch. Sour grapes award to all of the other guys who should be thankful their show is a hit.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#79168Mon, 05 Mar 2007 21:17:20 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:79168Nikki, NW FLhmm. The truth. I'm interested but not excited. I will give it a try - but wish I didn't have to. General Spin-offs don't work for me. I could make a list .. but why?

I'm feeling quite ambivalent these days about Grey's as well. The story lines just don't grab me the way they used to. Bring back some of the humour and romance I say and enough with the ER-style drama. Love the dynamics between most of the ensemble cast (I can't stand Izzie or George's characters) Bailey is the bomb and I look forward to seeing her character fleshed out more. I also love Callie, Burktina, Addie and Karev. Hope the show gets back some of its flava next season.

I wasn't a Grey's fan at first because I'm not a Meredith fan, but Addison really drew me into the show, and she's been my favorite character for a while now. I think the idea of a spin-off is perfectly ridiculous and am actually very disappointed in Shonda for even thinking about it. Addison has such a great dynamic with the other doctors; we need to keep her at Seattle Grace where she belongs.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#79615Tue, 06 Mar 2007 03:53:55 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:79615Chris, Charlottesville, VirginiaNo! It is way too early for a spin-off. I actually like the show, but am getting a little upset about the cloud over its head. Isaiah Washington/Patrick Dempsey/T.R. Knight gay squabbles, Katherine Heigel contract privacy breach, and now spin-off talk. I am just afraid that something will happen that will make the show end because off too much drama. Please have someone step in to get the house in order. I want this show to work. I was a little leery when they moved it to Thursdays, and thought the fans would drop it, and the ABC would drop it.

Why presume a spin-off will fail, and even more ludicrous, will ruin Grey's? Maybe the new show will give us 2 great nights of TV.

Izzy is the reason I watch GA. She is the heart of the show. I thought that since she gave 8 plus million $ to open the free clinic, she and Bailey would run it and that it would be somehow connected to the GA show..A spin-off will fail. Also, the writer Noxin? left Brothers and Sisters for GA.. hate her writing. Greg Berlanti (Everwood) took over B&S and it is now the best drama on TV.. I think that the 'ER' type of episodes is due to this Noxin's take on GA..truthfully, GA is going down the tubes, and an Addison spin-off will help it down the tubes even faster..Oh, pay Izzy what I. Washington is getting..SHE is professional, gets along with everyone, was on a terrific tv show (Roswell) AND has integrity.

Come on a doctor in high heels??? Let's be real! Get rid of her -- And please!!! she doesnt deserve her own show!

With the way GA has been floundering lately, I think that focus needs to be turned back to GA and get the quality storylines and energy pumped back into this show. Shondra, you can't do both. GA isn't strong enough to support itself while you direct your attention to getting a new show off the ground. They will both fail! Maybe a few years down the road, but we're just in the third season! Give GA some time to stabilize before you go messing with it.

Grey's was great before Addison and it will be great after she is gone. plus then we will have (maybe) another decent show to watch. and you people that bring up "joey" totally different. Joey failed in part because they changed him. "joey" didnt have a blond sister/ remember all the sisters???? Black hair, they were all built alike etc. none were single blond haired mom's. they made Joey and the people around him to ignorant to be funny, that is why it didnt succeed. they totally changed the peopson he was. on Friends he was a cute dummy, on the new show he was plain ignorant. so go on with the spin off. i am sure it will be as great at Greays, EXCEPT.. McSteamy should surely go with her, after all they seem to belong together... http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#85317Thu, 08 Mar 2007 23:30:50 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:85317Alison Hall, Bassett VirginiaI think it's a GREAT idea...I LOVE Grey's Anatomy so why not have another one?

I like them but they are not in the picture much.Izzie should have more lines but keep her out of Georgie and Callie's relationship. Put Bailey in charge as chief.Make Callie head nurse since the 3 female interns don't care for her.Yang and Burke have a weird relationship.I don't understand them sometimes.They are both stubborn. See how far that goes.Bring in more male doctors,(Diggs,Hector,Denny,maybe)Give McSteamy and McDreamy a run for their money.ADDISON NEEDS TO STAY.Chief needs to be in a relationship and moved up.Don't let him retire. This is just my opinion on things. I have to be at home on Thursday's or near a TV. It is my favorite show.Can't miss it. I hope for the best. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#87959Mon, 12 Mar 2007 21:00:20 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:87959Shawn KI Love(d) this show - the writing is fantastic;the acting superb. If Shondra dedicates time to a spin-off - Grey's will go downhill. As far as the actors go - they need to get their egos checked. This is a #1 show and probably the best gig they will ever have. Their contract disputes and petty arguments are ruining it. ( Although this stuff should never get out to the media in the first place). It's an ensemble cast and they should all be paid equally. I think Katherine Heigel's whining should leave her out of a job. I love Izzy on the show but come on - enough is enough - the show will live on without her. I think most people thought she wouldn't be back after Denny's death anyway. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#88354Tue, 13 Mar 2007 16:54:30 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:88354Kathryn Lorello, Jupiter, FlI think Kate Walsh is a good actress and a spin off isn't my problem with GA. I think all the fighting and complaining about the money that the characters make is such a turn-off. When I watch GA I lose myself into the show. Now, they are all crying and moaning and can't get along.They need to focus on getting GA back on track and some better story lines. I love the show so much. DON'T SCREW IT UP!!!

IskandarI don't hate the idea of a spin-off if the original show was on track. There are so many repeats and fighting and ego problems. It makes me laugh that these actors are that dumb!!!! This show was great. Now, I can take it or leave it because the actors and creators are letting this go to their heads. I love the chief by the way. He's great. Wake up you guys. If you let us down and we all stop watching, you won't have to worry about how much money you make per episode.

It was the 1st seasons finale that got me hooked. NOW I can't live without it. I like Meredeth but I LOVE Addison and I think that Grey's would not be the show it is without all the characters in it. Add new characters to Grey's but DON'T DO A SPINOFF. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#90691Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:30:40 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:90691DD, San Diego, CAAddison's character is a very strong one, yet we do see the sensitive side of her at a glimpse. This character could definitely have her own show with the surroundings of good characters. Just like Grey's, Meredith's character is the most boring, lifeless character on TV. She is like a wet noodle that needs a lot of spicy marinara to be the least bit appetizing. Meredith's character could have died an episode or two ago and the show would continue to flourish. Definitely take a spin with Addison's role.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#91649Thu, 15 Mar 2007 23:31:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:91649Carly, FloridaA spinoff is a terrible idea. The only reason Frasier worked is because it was in a *completely* different setting. Cheers was set in a bar and centered around the life of Sam, and Frasier was set in Seattle amid the professional and romantic relationships of Frasier and his brother. If it was just another bar show, I doubt it would have done well. There are plenty of hospital dramas on tv. Why would I watch another one? I don't want to see the same show with different characters and a new set every night. I don't have much time for tv, and my primetime shows are already selected. I'm not willing to stop watching one of them in order to watch ANOTHER hospital show. Some of you sound delusional - you do realize that this is tv, right? It doesn't matter how a *real* hospital works or that in a *real* hospital, doctors rotate in and out. Do you want to see the doctors sitting around for hours trying to fill out their malpractice insurance forms, taking CEUs, or other non-entertaining things that go on in the lives of real doctors? If you want to watch a show about a *real* hospital, watch the Discovery Health channel. Grey's is a fictional show, and a stable cast of characters is essential in ensuring people tune in. ER is fledgling right now because the original cast is gone. I used it watch it, and I stopped when the last original cast memeber, Noah Wyle, left. Why watch a show if you aren't interested in the interactions of the characters? They're the only reason people watch. Without a stable cast, there's no reason to care or to tune in the following week to see what happens. Although... some of you seem to be going overboard - instead of being interested in the show, you're obsessed with the characters like they're real people or something. A spinoff is just silly. Instead of one excellent show, we'll be left with two mediocre shows. There's really only so much you can do with a hospital drama. As much as I like Kate Walsh, I wouldn't watch the spinoff. It seems like ABC is just trying to capitalize on the success of Grey's Anatomy. If Shonda wants to do another show, how about doing one that has nothing to do with a hospital? I want variety, like I said above, and not the same show every night. There are plenty of other shows I could be watching instead. Why do people say Meredith is whiny? Do you watch while intoxicated? Meredith keeps everything *inside*. You hear her thoughts because her voice narrates. Learn the difference. AND Katherine Heigl has every right to hold out for a higher salary. She was nominated for a Golden Globe, and that's an automatic qualifier. The network is making tons of money off the show, so that should be reflected in the casts' paychecks. The cast of Friends, a total crap show compared to Grey's, made what, $750k - $1 million per episode? It makes the raises of the Grey's cast seem pretty small, especially since they are the most popular show on tv. Katherine isn't the one who went public with her decision to drop out of the talks, either. Keep in mind that Jeanette Walls writes a *gossip* column. Don't take tabloid news for gospel.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#91661Thu, 15 Mar 2007 23:43:57 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:91661karen, philadelphiaI love GA but I agree that its been going down. I don't think a spin off with kate would be successful but maybe with Callie...that'd be good. she's not too central that it would throw things off. The list of costars needs to be examined as well.

I only liked the originall CSI not any of the others never watched them. Leave Grey's Anatomy alone. As far as Callie and George go I hope they can work things out, they are good togethe. As far as anyone leaving for any reason, get rid of Burke. He's too full of himself and as far as Doctors go I hate that in one. I should know I'm a Doctor's wife and also a Veternary Assistant. As far as Burke being too good for Yang, I think they are made for each other they are alike. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#92271Fri, 16 Mar 2007 16:53:34 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:92271G, WisconsinI don't care either way, just happy to see Taye Diggs back on TV.

Unless the spin off will take place in the afterlife, Denny cannot have a spin off. That being said, I do understand why they are doing a spin off. There are too many main characters to try to fit in story lines every week and the storylines they do introduce, take too long to play out. I just hate to see anyone leave though. Of all the characters, I hate to say that George and Izzy annoy me the most. I do not want to see the original characters leave, however if some HAD to, I'd pick them. If I had my preference, everything would stay as it is, and they'd make it a 2 hour show!!!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#94922Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:30:09 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:94922Fatima, MontrealI think Addison should go work with DR.House MD. that combination would be fasinating to watch. she is beautiful sexy and very smart.

She is definitely not a main character on the show. I think they should take McSteamy too and they can go back to NY and have a relationship. Then they can get rid of all that tension that's still between McDreamy, McSteamy and Addison. It's really getting old! Taye Diggs is great and would be a definite asset. But hopefully they can come up with a better name than Addison's Anatomy!!!!???? There are and were enough story lines before Addison even came on board.

That being said, I am completely and utterly against an Addison spin off. Not because I think it will be a bad show though. Frankly, the idea of an hour of Addison every week thrills me. My big fear is that so much of the Grey's fan base out there is so MerDer obsessed that they can't get past Addison hating long enough to see what an absolutely amazing actress Kate Walsh is. Without the Grey's fanbase behind it, I'm not really sure that a spin-off would ever really take off and then all us Addison fans out there will be left with no Addison at all. Seriously Shonda.

She's become a very stable and interesting part of the main cast now, and I think it'd be a huge void if she left. It's so great to watch her with Derrick and Meredith, and especially now with the "Chief" and of course the lust between her and Alex. Maybe in a few years if Grey's ratings started to drop, then create a spin off of her character, but not now.

The show's chemistry is so good. I could understand a spin-off if Grey's was ready to be cancelled or go off on its own, but it's working. Why tamper with a #1 show??

Look at CSI, how many different CSI's can there be without people tunning out. It would be the same for Grey's people would either get sick of the same plot lines or quit watching both. Yeesh.

To T. Bills, why would Callie become head nurse when she is already an ortopedic surgeon!!! Seriously, do you think because she's a woman she must be a nurse? Don't know if I'd watch a spin off but definately won't watch GA without Merideth or McDreamy but want some romance for them! http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#171839Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:58:06 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:171839Mary in KCMONo spinoff...Addison is a great character for Greys but not on her own. As for Grey's ... is anyone sick to death of the Meredith/Derrick push me, pull you game? They finally end up together after all the months of on and off...and THEN he decides that his career would be influenced by her. His character is NOT that stupid. As for Meredith? Her character is just PLAIN ... well, PLAIN. Her hair color is so plain and her hair flat and lifeless just like her performances. She's dull and boring and I have no idea what Derrick saw in Meredith in the first place. And finally..who wants to bet that both Callie AND Izzy turn up pregnant by George!!!???http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#171862Fri, 27 Apr 2007 14:10:45 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:171862Stacy, Ferndale, MII hate the idea of a spin off. I love the show but could live without Addison's character. I don't tune in for her but I have heard rumors that George (T.R) is leaving and I kind of got that vibe last night when he told Izzie he was going to a different hospital.

I never understood why she stayed after loosing McDreamy. But Alex is enough reason for me!

Frankly I'm getting bored with the Meredith and Dr. McDreamy romance. Both of these people are good actors (not really both but McDreamy is) but have boring parts. It's time for a change in that department. Boring! Some (most) of the characters and their relationships are getting old. Meredith is such a whiny character and so is George. Stop the whining already. I like Kate (Addison) she is fresh and less boring than the other characters. I would love to see Denny back (not sure what his real name is). He is handsome and funny, love him. Some (most) of the characters and their relationships are getting old. Dr. McDreamy (Patrick Duffy..I think) is a good actor but stuck in a boring part..give him a break and break him out of this boring mold. All of these actors come across as spoiled and disgruntle. None of them have ever been known for other actor parts (except Patrick Duffy, think he played in Chicago). What do all these other unknown actors have to complain about? They would all still be unknown if not for this show. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#171939Fri, 27 Apr 2007 14:54:33 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:171939Carol.

How sad that such talented medical professionals have to be portrayed as hopeless romantics who can't control themselves or their personal lives. They continue bed hopping from one to the other and soon they all will have slept with everyone at one time or another and then what will they do? How realistic is this anyway? Meredith I really hoped that she would have drowned because she is rediculous. The brain surgeon should use his and dump her as soon as possible. How pathetic! Addison if she leaves, hopefully her show will go in the direction this show should have gone from the beginning, but is now just a silly night time soap with no direction and players who can keep their paws off one another long enough to believe they are the medical professionals we want them to be. I don't see this show lasting too much longer anyway! Good luck Addison.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#171972Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:05:06 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:171972Maria, NJThe spinoff is a big mistake. You guys need Adisson, I will have love for her to stay with McSteamy and see more of her character in Grey's. (You guys put her on the side without realizing that she's valuable to Grey's Anatomy) I can't stand the character Meredith, now that she's with McDreamy it seems like a boring relationship. Everytime when I see Grey's and I see Meredith and McDreamy together I change the channel and go back when they are not together...I'm thinking of no watching this show anymore. Izzie is getting me p/o too trying to be George, she had her chance and now that his married, she wants him. I hate the way she's hurting Callie.

Enough already of the Meredith-Derek overdone on-again-off-again relationship!! We don't care, Meredith! Give Derek some real woman. A doctor of his calaber would never realistically have hooked up with Meredith--a whiny, self-centered, inexperienced, not-so-good-looking little intern. It wasn't believable from the very beginning. Izzie's character needs some work, too. She used to be one of my favorites but not any more.

I love Addison and I can't believe someone is considering to let her go. Addison should stay and be with McSteamy. Also, I will like to see Izzie be with Alex or some cuter. (Yan and Burke are a annoying, Come one Yan stop been stubborn this man loves you and pick a cake already, gosh!). I'm also getting tire on Meredith and McDreamy relationship, Meredith stop nagging, everything is about you. And why does Meredith gets all the cute guys? I don't understand that? Izzie is stunning, why do you either give her a man that is dying or someone that's married? Give her a hot guys and let her be happy. Meredith got the vet, Chis O'donnell why can Izzie gets someone liek that. Izzie, needs to leave George alone and let him do his life with Callie, that' who he chose to married. But please bring character maybe that what this show needs. I was so obsess with this show that I'm to the point to STOP watching this show.

Greys is GREAT! I love Addison's character on the show and don't want her to leave; but think she would do great on her own.

I really felt that they loved each other no matter what and why is Derek holding the non-swimming incident against her. He was very difficult once Addison came into the picture and we all knew how much he loved Meredith - now he is holding it against her because she had been very depressed with her mother and life in general. Where is his compassion? I really love the show and all of the characters in it, and if some move on that would be okay. George had no business getting married as he doesn't know his own mind yet and the business with Izzy came from out of nowhere. If he truly loves her let him get a divorce and continue on with his life without Callie. There is too much going on and it is very unsettling. I have been a loyal viewer since day one but now I feel I can miss an episode and catch up on the next one hoping that everyone finds their way in the end. Too much psycho-babbel.

This will be even better than Grey's. Addison is beautiful, smart and dignified, not like whiny Mer/Der. This show will be great, and I love Amy Brenneman too. Give it a chance!!

Addison is a great character on the show- although I wouldnt stay around to watch my ex with his new girlfriend but i think Addison is past that stage.

In the end it's all about three things, Money, Power, or sex. One of those is the reason for the spinoff, More money for ABC and the Principals, More Power for all involved if the show is a success, and Sex?

Nope, no spin off. Maybe after GA gets cancelled, then do a show that is similar. But, I agree with most of you Meredith is a bore - she is like those firends you find that "suck the life out of you" because they are always SO depressed. She seems to never have an emotion. Even when she is mad she is monotone.

Grey's has started to bore me a bit, and I am tired of Meredith's "woe is me" attitude. Im excited to see Kate Walse leave and get more exposure for the character of Addison.

I can not think of any spinoff that has done well and usually when a spinoff comes is at the end of a show. Addison is a good addition to Grey's, but is not interesting enough to have her own show.

I agree Addison has become a big part of "Grey's" and shouldn't leave because she is already rooted and growing in the show. Actually the only one that would make sense to leave is "McSteamy" He really doesn't have a story line and except for here and there stuff what has he really done as part of the staff. I would watch a show that featured him but not if he went with Allison. He shouldn't be the type to follow a woman anywhere. I could see a great story line with him going one on one with Hector because of McDreamy's cockiness and going one on one with Diggs for stud of the Hospital. Honestly I still see Allison as the fat chick from Drew Carey. I really don't like her character but I like her with Alex it brings her down to earth. But to have her own show how many times do we need to see pregant women and problems. And of course she end up with Diggs and fighting with Hector over what needs to be done so we already know the plot YAWN!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172229Fri, 27 Apr 2007 16:42:53 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172229Maggie, Yakima, Washington.This Is my first season of Grey's I have never watched a spinoff that has been worth tuning in too.Stick to the oringinal.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172249Fri, 27 Apr 2007 16:49:00 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172249sandra samuel txi think it is to early for a spinoff let's see a great weeding with christina & burke the show is great leave it as is.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172256Fri, 27 Apr 2007 16:52:37 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172256amy, south sioux city ,nebraskai think if you do a spin off it should stay in seattle so the charecters of both shows can make appearances on each.i hope it does not fail, but grey's is the best show out there i am not sure even a spin off can compete...i hope both shows do well ....i agree just once a week is not enough of grey's....http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172283Fri, 27 Apr 2007 17:04:27 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172283Mrs. B, MesquiteSpin-off?

Liddell, Jackson, MSNo spinoffs puh...leese! The show is great the way it is. However, from the beginning, why would the show be named after such a tired looking, droopy, and adolescent main character like Meredith? The "Addison" character adds some spice to the show. Meredith, should be spun off the show, and I do not mean spinoff show. Just spin her character off. The "Meredith" character adds absolutely, nothing to the shows cast of characters.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172305Fri, 27 Apr 2007 17:15:15 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172305TrishA spin off would be great!

The show is called "Grey's Anatomy" and hello... how could you get rid of Meredith Grey? Also let Addison start a new show. I will definitely give it a chance. Who knows all the people who are saying no way have never even seen the show.

"Grays" is great as it is. I don't watch much TV and would rather read, that is until "Grays" came on. It comes on 2 days in a row, 1 day a original and the next day a on core of the same show. I watch it both days. I so do not like Meredith and I hope to see over time, Derek and Addison find here way back to each other. Meredith always looks as if she sucked on a lemon when she doesn't get her way. She is not a powerful women and is a dependent who rids on her friends coat tails. Dr. Addison is a strong women that purrrs like a kitten. She would be missed greatly and "Grays" will suffer from her lost, but I will not follow her to the spin off. Dr. Addison has found her place already with the cast of "Grays". I love the whole cast of "Grays" and I tolerate Meredith. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172360Fri, 27 Apr 2007 17:37:05 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172360Cindy AndreucciAlthough I am not real happy about a spinoff right now, I know it is done. Just make sure you leave the door open for Addison to come back, just in case the spin off doesn't spin..... I have grown accoustomed to the characters like most people, I am afraid the spin off will be a tad boring being a fertility clinic. How much fertility can one stand? Didn't another show try that and flop QUICKLY?

I like to watch Addison, and she seems to me a favorite of the majority. What I would love to see more, too, is Burke and Yang's relationship continue, but with a lot of friction between the 2, as they both can be so stubborn.

The spinoff is going to happen regardless, and if people love grey's as much as I do, they're going to watch it. Even if the show sucks, people will still watch because its associated with Greys Anatomy.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172469Fri, 27 Apr 2007 18:30:07 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172469Kate, Chicago, ILI'm torn as well...I love Kate Walsh and think a show with her in the lead role would be great...but to sacrifice the success she has on "Grey's" seems crazy to me...and even crazier to break up the chemistry of the entire cast. They must have made one heck of a pitch in order for the network to buy the spin-off idea...plus Taye Diggs is one tasty man.

She is Grey's Anatomy's weakest link and it should be survival of the strongest-- which is what Addison is-- the best and most complex character in the show. Even Derek is thinking of dumping her. Her voice is weak and whiny and so is her personality. Izzy is 10 times prettier and more fun than Meredith, and Addison is 10 times Izzy.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172505Fri, 27 Apr 2007 18:46:45 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172505michelle, old fort, ncPlease, please please please no spin off. pleasehttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172517Fri, 27 Apr 2007 18:55:18 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172517Susan, Denver ColoradoYou have to be kidding... don't do it.

She should stick around and continue to be the fabulous, intelligent, slightly flawed character that she is.

And Hector and Taye would be a good start to new characters to compliment hers. It's time for her to move on and a return to New York, or a completely different town (San Francisco would be wonderful, the bay, the bridges, the famous old town-yeah! This would allow visits from Seattle too.) I too agree with using the same story ideas as has made Greys a success...both medicine and personal lives. I would LOVE to see the actor who played Denny (his middle name is Dean but can't remember the rest! DUH!) have a major role....Chief of surgery? Yeah, make him a Doc and an important one.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172570Fri, 27 Apr 2007 19:23:44 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172570Rachel, Deptford, NJI watched Grey's the first night it was on, turned to my husband and said that's the next big hit. He bet me a weeks worth of dishes it wasn't "a hit." Needless to say my hands were silky smooth the first week of season two. I hated Addison when she first apppeared but now I really like what she adds to Seattle Grace. There is still so much that she needs to resolve there I feel it's too soon to send her running. If she leaves that's is what she would be doing and think her character has grown abit and would do that. She needs to resolve Alex and McSteamy and the baby she decided not to have. She is probably the only one who can help Derek withcurrent Meridth issues also. Ithink there should be a spin off with her but not for at least another full season. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172579Fri, 27 Apr 2007 19:26:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172579Jennifer, Babylon NYKeep Adison - Get rid of Meridith and George - Bring Back Denny!!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172587Fri, 27 Apr 2007 19:30:26 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172587Kate, Durham, NCKate Walsh grabbed my attention from the first moment she leveled a knowing look at Meredith, and she's always impressed me with her strength and presence when she loses out - a class act. Lately it's clear that she wants the real deal - McSteamy just isn't a good enough guy for her - and I keep thinking she'd be great with the Chief. The scene where she dances with him is wonderful and he could use a woman like her in his life. Alex and Jane Doe are the next big item - until maybe Jane's husband comes back (from Iraq maybe?). And all you Meredith bashers - she's a very believable character considering her weird upbringing, the stresses of internship and where she is in her life - plenty of real interns are first class PITAs who don't have time to get a fashionable hairstyle!

I hadn't even thought of that. I bet they will do that too. As for Addison in a spinoff show I say no,no,no. I and my husband both love Addison cause she is interesting and smart not to mention gorgeous. A spinoff show for her wouldn't really fly though. Addison needs to stay on Grey's and further develop her character there. Give her a brand new love interest or give her and Alex a chance. That would be more interesting. Who is annoying on Grey's? Well,let's see, just everybody except maybe the chief. That too is part of the charm of this hit show.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#172606Fri, 27 Apr 2007 19:36:03 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172606Brandy, Spencer, IAI have been a "Grey's" fan since the begining.

There's no time to be dedicated to two shows. Maybe because I barely watch TV, only news and Grey's. Producer's are being greedy. They cant't pull another show like Grey's out of a hat, there is a unique chemistry there and Addison is my favorite character. She's dark as well, but I believe not as selfish as other characters now. KAte did a great job of having viewers really care about the character . I really believe they are all mostly very gifted actors. Heigl is great. However, I hate Izzy's character. she needs too much attention and Merideth is whinny and selfish.

Addison is totally over McDreamy, so there is not a problem for her to stick around and see him and Meredith together. The characters are all family now, it would ruin the show if you took anyone off. Just go with things that happen in real life and you will have plenty to write about.

Izzy is becoming a self righteous snob. Meredith can't make her mind up what she wants. George is, well George is a very confused guy and Callie is getting totally screwed.Christine doesn't deserve Burke, she is goal oriented-there is nothing wrong with that-but Burke deserves someone who appreciates him. Alex is finally acting "human" with some actual feelings instead of being a guy out to see how many females he can "do it" with. Addison is finding out that her charms don't always get the man. And the Chief should stay!! And Bailey does NOT get enough credit for her place in the show. She deserves a lot more!!!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#173508Sat, 28 Apr 2007 15:55:52 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:173508Carol Elam, Manchester, TNI love Grey's and have watched from the very beginning. Addison has not been my favorite character on the show, but I think I would at least give her a try on a spin-off. My daughter-in-law loves GA so much that I tape it and send it to her in Tokyo, Japan! Does that tell you anything?

Why mess with a good thing? I really like Addison and she adds a great depth to the show. If something needs to change with Grey's get Meredith to stop whining so much!

The dynamics of the characters on Grey's is what makes it great. Addison was just starting to come into her own, just starting to fit in and have relationships with other characters other than Drs McDreamy & McSteamy. The attraction to Alex and her friendship with Calle were just starting to give some substance the the character. She needs some more time to develope as a character before she goes off on her own. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#173846Sun, 29 Apr 2007 03:11:04 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:173846Angie, Marysville, OHDon't take Addison!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#173893Sun, 29 Apr 2007 04:28:54 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:173893Melissa, Seattle, WashingtonI want the show to stay as is.

In my opinion bring Addison back from L.A…..Develop Alex and Addison’s relationship to a climax maybe at the season finale or have it become a bridge for season 4…… I have read some blogs, TV guide excerpts, etc… (I do have a life here...lol) detailing thoughts and opinions on your show, cast members, etc, both pro and con over Addison’s departure. I make time to tivo and watch each episode as it airs. I guess you can say prime time Thursday nights is centered on a medical show with great characters and plots with twists, how you draw everyone that watches you show for the first time into Grey’s revolving life….wow….that’s far better than what E.R can ever be. Your show actually has me mentally assisting with diagnosing their patients; I have a strong medical background and enjoy watching T.R. Knight and Patrick Dempsey. Not to leave out one of your best character creations….The Nazi, Dr. Bailey….each time a new episode airs I get impatient waiting to see what drama befalls them all and what lines you have Dr. Bailey saying reflecting on each other. I laughed so hard after her line about them all wanting to get into each other’s pants, nasty people, that’s why you got syphilis.. Last weeks show “Desire” was truly one of your best shows. Addison needs to stay with Grey’s, who else will Callie have to turn to and share what secrete affaire she might have to punish George with. Come on guys (writers) I am sure you all have thought about the many possibilities…..well haven’t you? Why cheat your devoted and loyal fans out of that! Keep Addison and save yourselves the nightmare from a spin-off that could potentially affect Grey’s…… http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#174184Sun, 29 Apr 2007 16:04:32 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:174184OrphieClearly a mistake, but ABC's gotta gamble Gray's popularity will spin off some big dollars.

I can never understand what Derek sees in Meredith, she's a whiny, haggard woman. I can never believe in the story line that he would pick Meredith over Addison. Big loss for the show.

Talk about absolutely horrible! The storyline jumped and made little sense. There was virtually any chemistry between the characters, who were also just plain unrelatable to, and the whole wellness center was inane. I think Grey's has jumped the shark. The only reason I didn't turn it off was because I wanted to know what was going to happen on the "regular" Grey's part which also was terrible. Izzie needs to stop whining about losing her best friend and coveting Callie's husband. Her character has become truly whiny and unlikable. I also think it was over-the-top that they killed Meredith's stepmom just as she was getting her life together. Give her a break already. If this show is to survive, the writers need to go back to the formula from last season. I'm glad I tape CSI, but from now on, I'll be taping Grey's and watching CSI unless the quality improves. Hope the execs and writers of Grey's listen to the fans: DON'T do the spinoff and physicians, heal thyselves before it's too late!!!!!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#182011Fri, 04 May 2007 04:13:00 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:182011Katie F, Warwick, RIThe worst show EVER I will never EVER watch that!

Not only was the Grey portion of the show extremely weak and horrible. Thatcher slapping Meredith, as the other doctors look on and don't step in to protect the stick figure of a girl and prized intern. As if any of that story line was interesting or plausible. But the complete and utter shallowness of the new series. Some teen with muscles he just barely grew carrying a surf board in the office and women old enough to be his mother are swooning over him?! Horny sex talk in an elevator with a stranger? Shallow doctor leaves wife for absolutely no reason then he and other shallow man Daly are fighting for dibs over Addy?

The spin-off is so unbelievably inane and presents impossible characters. I know doctors are human and have human problems and foibles,but these doctors are positively weird. Please don't do this.

Why ruin a good thing. I'm a huge fan of Grey's and I cannot wait till 9:00 when the show comes on. Last night, I actually turned the TV off for the lack of interest in the spin-off part of the show.

Although I don't know the woman's name that wrote Greys and has also written this new fiasco, it appears apparent she only has approx. 2 seasons worth of work in her to begin with. I became addicted to Greys from the very beginnning, but this year have found myself flipping channels for something better. Whoever told this writer that she should write a spin-off needs to have brain surgery! She (the writer) can't even pen well enough to create a 3rd season of a show that most people loved. I have no idea who they are, but when the "execs" open their eyes to see that not only is Greys on its way out, but the Private Practice spin-off reminds me of cooked noodles that have stuck together - UCK The real sad part is that Kate Walsh is going to be devastated. I have found myself in Kate's corner during the whole Grey's series, but I won't be able to carry that to this new one -- WHAT A MESS!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#198974Mon, 21 May 2007 21:23:03 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:198974Jacksonville, FLI can't wait for the Grey's Spinoff!

Addison is my favorite character because she is complex and real and I would love to have her as a friend and drinking buddy - I can relate to her. Kate Walsh is a pleasure to watch and has turned that character around 180 degrees from her 1st appearnace on GA where we assumed she was going to be a total bitch. On the other hand, the GA finale seemed to drop the bomb on most of the characters - it felt more like a series finale than a season finale. Each and every one of those interns needs a good slap upside the head - they seemed to get dumber and more immature as time went on, except for Alex - who really thought he was doing the noble thing for Rebecca/Ava even though he had fallen for her. Bottom line - Addison rawks and JDM (Denny) needs his own show - and so does McSteamy.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/28/70735.aspx#288108Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:21:32 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:288108Lori, Yazoo City, MS Addison is my favorite character and she gets very little of the spotlight that, as an actress, i think she well deserves-and if it came down to it, i'd MUCH rather watch a show on her than on Meredith's "its all about me" puny ass.  I think Addison is the perfect candidate for a spin-off and its way too soon for me to really cast judgement on the forementioned "private practice", but i'd prefer to keep Addison where she's at now, in hopes that Derek will come to his senses and ditch the slutty intern!  After all, we're already loosing one good cast member... stop making undelightful changes!
