Fascinating commentary on this show: http://weblogs.variety.com/on_the_air/2012/02/the-real-reason-nbcs-smash-is-sinking.html Has to do with why we don't care about the producers' lives and how the show should be centered on Karen and Ivy -- truly centered on them.

I read the article and personally I like the more behind the scenes stuff in creating the musical. I would actually enjoy seeing the whole process and the end of the show being the actual production in the final product. But I am still finding it hard to see how they are going to go beyond a season and/or once the show is done. |

If you mean logistically, it is possible. As they said on the show, getting a theatrical production actually onto stage can take five years. :) |

I just got caught up on the latest episodes. This show has really improved after its slow start. Perhaps I missed it, but did Ivy actually sleep with Nick Jonas' character? It seemed implied, but I can't say for sure. |

Megan Hilty's cover of Jessie J's "Who you are" and Katherine McPhee's cover of Florence's "shake it out" were something really quite special. Each episode gets better than the last. I'm glad I stuck it out the first few episodes without quitting. |

Starting to lose interest in this show. Getting tired of every week some reason for some type of contemporary song that loosely fits the storyline but just seems to be there to sell and iTunes track. I think I could enjoy those moments more if I wasn't thinking "Oh there is an iTunes track". Also I get the idea of Ellis being the bad guy, but I am so tired of him always being around getting the dirt on everyone and everything. |

Bad review from Variety. http://weblogs.variety.com/bltv/2012/03/after-strong-first-act-smash-on-wobbly-legs.html
I think this reviewer hasn't watched beyond epsiode 4. Eileen hasn't thrown a drink in her husband's face for at least 3 episodes for example. |

Thats wise. I do pay attention to metacritic though, which averages all the critics into one review rating. |

I got caught up on this show over the last few days. It's pretty good. Anjelica Huston, Debra Messing and Megan Hilty are fabulous in their roles. Katharine McPhee is good as well. The dialogue is a little clunky at times and some of the song choices are odd, but overall it's a pretty good show. One thing though... I'm going to need that bitch Ivy to be knocked down a peg or two. As much as I love Megan Hilty, her character makes me want to throw something at the TV. |

I think the bitchiness stems from her huge insecurity. A lot of people in theatre are like that - always need to be validated by others, told how wonderful their performances are and wonderful they are. And if they don't get it, they lash out - especially at people they feel threatened by. I don't think Ivy needs to be taken down a peg or two, because she is a fragile mess already. Ellis on the other hand - I hate that fucker and want him to suffer lol. |

I hate people like that. The worst is when they know they're good but they need constant validation anyway. Drives me crazy! |
