History YMMV / PrivatePractice

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Charlotte, for many fans, once she was defrosted. Probably helps that [[Creator/KaDeeStrickland [=KaDee=] Strickland]] pulls off the whole Southern-Belle Texas-accented charm with perfect ease.

** Lately, more Jerkass than [[TheWoobie Woobie]]. Looks like she's back to her old horrible self.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Began as a saner, more mature counterpart to ''Grey's Anatomy'', only to gradually sink to levels of hysteria even ''Grey's'' would deem garish. One could say it went from ''[[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs Grey's Anatomy]]'' [[LighterAndSofter on antidepressants]], and ended as ''[[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs Grey's Anatomy ]]'' [[UpToEleven on a cocktail of Meth and Bath Salts]].

* TheScrappy: [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Let's just say that some characters were worthy of that sinister title in some seasons]], prior to CharacterDevelopment. Initially Violet was one, but slowly pulled herself out of this category. Then Sam became one because of his treatment of Addison in late seasons.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Sheldon turning down Amy's advances, and telling her to try again once she grows the hell up.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Sheldon and Cooper decided to switch seats while waiting for [[spoiler:the results of Pete's surgery]] based entirely off events that happened [[OneOfOurOwn beforehand]].
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: When Cooper [[spoiler: finds out that Charlotte was raped, he sits down with her, tells her he loves her (no matter what), vows to protect her, and ultimately helps her find the strength to identify her rapist]]. May also be a TearJerker for some. It was just that good.

* FanPreferredCouple: Pete and Violet as of now, Cooper and Violet in season 1, later Cooper and Charlotte until recently (see {{Jerkass}} example below).

** Addison and Jake, on the grounds he actually likes kids and her.

** Sheldon and Amelia, after she straight-up tells him she'll never love him back during her intervention.

* FunnyAneurismMoment: Early in Season 3, in order to get some perspective on one of her patients, Violet poses Cooper a hypothetical: [[spoiler: Charlotte is raped, falls pregnant by the rapist, and decides to keep it. Cooper responds with "Don't hypothetically rape my girlfriend!". A year later, Charlotte being raped is no longer a hypothetical.]]

** Addison and Jake, on the grounds he actually likes kids and her.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Charlotte, for many fans, once she was defrosted. Probably helps that KaDee Strickland pulls off the whole Southern-Belle Texas-accented charm with perfect ease.

* HarsherInHindsight: In an early episode that dealt with STD's, Maya reassures her mother that she's still a virgin. A couple years later [[spoiler: she gets pregnant.]]

* FanPreferredCouple: Pete and Violet as of now, Cooper and Violet in season 1, later Cooper and Charlotte until recently (see JerkAss example below).

** Lately, more JerkAss than [[TheWoobie Woobie]]. Looks like she's back to her old horrible self.

* {{Wangst}}: Holy shit, where to even start? Let's just say these people make [[Series/{{Supernatural}} The Winchesters]] look like a perfectly happy, well-adjusted, picket-fence-rockin' family.
* WhatAnIdiot: Pretty much everyone has had a turn with this trope, but Coop [[spoiler: asking [[{{Jerkass}} Charlotte]] to marry him]] pretty much takes the cake. Hell, [[WhatWereYouThinking it takes the whole damn desert cart]].

* TheScrappy: Both Cooper and Violet (violet in particular) are diving headlong in this direction.
** Though to be fair, both seem to have done some work to pull out of this towards the end of season 3
** To be honest, there was a point in season 3 where this troper found themselves disliking EVERYONE except Sheldon, who wasn't even main cast yet. Fortunately, most of the cast has pulled out of this territory.
** Sam because she cannot decide whether he likes Addison for real or not and acting exceedingly possessive over her when they had broken up weeks and months ago.

* TheWoobie: They take turns.

* {{Flanderization}}: Dell. Oh, ''Dell''.

* NightmareFuel: Season 2 finale, where [[spoiler:Violet is lying half-dead in a pool of her own blood from a forced C-section by a woman who stole her baby]].
** And now comes the episode 7 of season 4 in which [[spoiler: Charlotte is brutally raped by [[{{HeyItsThatGuy}} Nicholas]] [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Brendon]]]].

* {{Wangst}}: Holy shit, where to even start? Let's just say these people make [[{{Supernatural}} The Winchesters]] look like a perfectly happy, well-adjusted, picket-fence-rockin' family.

** And now comes the episode 7 of season 4 in which [[spoiler: Charlotte is brutally raped by [[{{HeyItsThatGuy}} Nicholas]] [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Brendon]]]].

** Addison and Sam. ADDISON AND SAM.

* NightmareFuel: After the Season 2 finale this troper had nightmares about finding a friend or relative [[spoiler: lying half-dead in a pool of her own blood from a forced C-section]]
** And now comes the episode 7 of season 4 in which [[spoiler: Charlotte is brutally raped by [[{{HeyItsThatGuy}} Nicholas]] [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Brendon]]]].
