Also on another little side note, If SMASH wants to survive all of season 2 it needs to be moved. It cannot compete with shows like Castle and Hawaii 5-0 which sees over 10 million a week.
Come NBC get smart.

Didn't I hear Karen saying something along the lines of "I can't believe you're cheating on me!" to Dev?
Um...he didn't cheat on you, drama queen, that was kind of the point of his point.

See, the minute she showed up with booze at his apartment, he should have said no. Instead he invited her in, had a few and then started making out with her. You saw when it hits him that he's making a mistake, but he still got a few more kisses in before he stopped himself.
He should have never invited her in.

Every woman I know would consider what Dev did 'cheating.' Me? I think it's just saying 'hi', but I'm not a dead-eyed chorus girl with a passion that burns with the fire of a wet match.
And Dev popping the question was so the equivalent of 'I got you a puppy for your birthday!' Never a good idea.

Ivy didn't have any other picture of her mother, but the one from Bernadette's performance of Follies.
You know it's from Follies, I know it's from Follies. Little Katie from East Jabip doesn't. To her it's "Ivy's mom in a show"
Don't like the development of Derek and Rebecca...too obvious. I kind of liked the freshness of the fact that Ivy and Derek--the two most turbulent people involved in the show--were the only ones who seemed to have a stable, intelligent relationship.
It made me sad that he went from saying "That's why I love you" to Ivy to standing up Ivy to sleep with Rebecca.
I'm SO hoping its Karen that gives Rebecca the peanuts or whatever. I'm picturing McPhee's eyes going dead(er) as eerie lullaby music creeps onto the soundtrack, "But I did for you, Ivy...I did it for the show...I did it for eeeveryonnne."
The obvious people are Ivy and Ellis. But I can actually see Bobby (Wesley Taylor) in the scene descrived above. Or that he thinks it'll be funny and doesn't realize how serious it is.

I would be offended by all of this but I don't have the energy. I'm in TECH!
Oh. Wait. No...actually, I'm in bed, avoiding work that needs to be done and people who are depending on me.
Bananas and peanut butter. Mmmmm...

Posted: 5/1/12 at 1:21pmMy favorite part (besides "I'm in tech!", because how amazing??) was when Sam's brother catcalled "ooooh two boys kissing!" I thought that was cute, and so simply showed how loving and accepting his family is (at least about his being gay, obviously not his being a dancer).

Might I suggest Trader Joes 'Cookie Butter"?

Lord, when Ivy had that picture of Bernadette as Sally in her hands I just know some of you bitches were gonna be pissed! You are all in my head with me when I watch this show. I'm thinking about trying to get some electroshock thing I read about done to help with that.
Dev has turned awful and that's a shame. What's really a shame is that he made me sympathize with Karen and I hate when I sympathize with Karen! For someone who in the pilot was able to coach his girlfriend in minutiae so specific about Marilyn you would have thought he was sister to not knowing that Karen wouldn't be that available to him because was in tech! She was IN TECH! I thought the marriage proposal was crazy, agree that straight people consider what he did cheating and think Brian D!James and son get more and more alike each week!
And I thought the stuff with Sam's family and Tom was pretty ham-fisted. Ham-handed? Dumb.
But I still be loving it. And yes, it wasn't a surprise that Julia is the book writer. They established it early on.
And I want Angelica to use the curling iron again like she did last week.
I also don't understand why everyone is like "NBC better do this" or that. SH*T can run forever on NBC. Chuck survived Monday nights for years. If the Smash kids have to eat a lot of Subway, so be it. If Community can have a character called Subway, I think Smash could have a subplot where Sam's dad and Tom chip in to buy him a Subway franchise.

I can't stop laughing at this!

Speaking of next season - I've heard that Jared will star in a musical bio of his life called "Six inches of happiness" with Uma Thurman returning this time to play a piece of sliced turkey named "Gobbles". The show will be presented at P.S. 141 in the Bronx to a group of 4th graders to help teach them good nutrition.
And if you think tech week is hell now, just wait.

Joe, I certainly noticed it last night (Lay's potato chips - though the bag was upside down).
Since Ellis doesn't seem to be an audience favorite (I don't mind him), I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one who puts peanuts in Uma's protein shake. Hence he'd get fired (written off the show).

Posted: 5/1/12 at 2:43pmMaybe we won't know who adds the peanuts and it'll be the central mystery of season two. My vote will be for Gina Gershon.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 2:47pmIt would be neat if Shaiman could do a mini-mashup of "Let Me Be Your Star" with the "Peanuts" theme like he did last night with "Another Openin', Another Show."

Posted: 5/1/12 at 2:52pmIf the bag was upside down, Lays got screwed. For the kind of PP money they get on NBC you need a clear shot of the logo and a likeable character saying the name- Angelica Houston saying "These Lays Potato Chips are delicious! Crisp and not at all greasy!"
