(S01E01) You think I moved here because you kissed me? - AddisonTechnically,
Private Practice aired its first episode within the
Grey's Anatomy 2-hour long "
The Other Side of This Life," which aired last May. After the episode aired, most of the fans were quite vocal about

Grey's Anatomy vs. the spin-off" article and reflect on if we were right or not and decide what series is better based on what aired last night.
