Season 2

     Season 2 for Grey's Anatomy began in 2005 and carried over to the year 2006.  This season mainly focuses on Meredith and Derek's relationship.  All is going well until the relationship stops because Meredith finds out that Derek is married to Addison Montgomery.  Another relationship reveals itself between Izzie and Alex, but falls apart very quickly.  Also, Bailey becomes pregnant and talks a lot about her personal life. For this season, there is a lot of relationship problems that occur.  You start to learn more about each characters life and are really getting into the show by Season 2.  Unlike any other season, this one seemed to be particularly long.  To me, I enjoyed it being very long because it was getting into the heart of the show and I could not wait to watch more.
     For Private Practice, the season started out dealing with the practices financial problems.  This makes everything turn around and Addison ends up becoming the new boss.  Throughout the whole season there are problems with relationships, Naomi and Sam, Charlotte and Cooper, along with Addison.  Also, they have a little bit of contact with Derek from Grey's Anatomy.  He is asked to work on a tumor that is in Addison's brother.  Violet gets pregnant and has no idea who the dad is and Dell has to deal with his girlfriends drug addict.  There were many relationship problems like I said, but there were mainly medical cases, like abortion, that caused a lot of drama throughout the practice.
     In my opinion, you can not compare Grey's Anatomy to Private Practice because they are in many ways completely different shows. Of course, Grey's is more about young residents and has a hospital setting, while private practice has more adults and an office setting.  They are both very good shows and continue getting better as more seasons progress. Later on I will let you know how Season 3 turned out for both shows.
