SMASH on NBC. Who's watching? Who's into it? Who's not?→[More:]I'm watching; seen the first 3 episodes now. I got problems with it, but I'm willing to hold on. I hear it starts to get really good in the coming episodes (hope so).
I watched the pilot and the second episode: the second is on the DVR, waiting for a time my husband isn't around as he despises musicals. I am not exactly gripped by it yet.
I was really looking forward to this as I love working with theatre folks. Been watching but not finding any real love for it. I don't think I'll last out the season.
Yeah, I don't think this will be the one that saves NBC.
Can we talk aout Kat McPhee? They can say SHE'S AMAZING, OMG SHE'S A STAR all they want, but I don't believe she's worthy of a Broadway musical. I hardly believe she belongs on the TV show.
Meanwhile, I do love seeing real Broadway people (Christian Borle, Brian d'Arcy James, Will Chase, plus tons of extra and smaller parts- just spotted Wes Taylor in the ensemble next week) on TV. Glad to see SMASH is giving lots of NY actors jobs!
