Man, Deb Messing can act rings around McPhee...I know Mr. Tigh-ass Republican isn't trying to imply that Deb Messing was the one referred to when this was posted:

"The show is doomed as long as they’ve got a protagonist who can’t act. I challenge you to watch any of her scenes and tell me whether she’s happy, sad, angry or scared. Yes, she has a pretty face and a pleasant voice but everything else is emotional botox."

Because then he's more of an IDIOT than I gave him credit for.

Does anyone know who played Daisy (the dancer who accused Derek of sexual harassment)? She is absolutely gorgeous.

Sorry if it was discussed previously in this thread, I couldn't find it if it was.


Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Gothampc - I agree, don't think Messing add anything to show. I don't like her character and I don't think she is a good fit for this role. She was very good comedic actress in "Will and Grace" but this role is SMASH is not for her IMO.

The DP should be fired. He makes everyone look awful. Messing has double chins and jowls, as does Huston. Hilty has age spots and double chins. He does not know how to photograph women.

Messing has resorted to going full on Grace. She lost her edge from last season and is just playing it safe. She's Grace.

I don't understand Wesley Taylor's character at all. In the rehearsal studio he's Ivy's shadow and confidante, giving Karen the stink eye. Then he's always shown in Karen's living room with her and going out with her. Hello?

The writing is horrendous. Why add new characters when you cant properly address the old ones.

TV by The Numbers does not think the show will be renewed for a second season. As I mentioned earlier, just in case, this does happen I hope they make sure to give some closure in this season's final episode.

Smash is a very expensive show to produce and probably needs good ratings to justify the cost.

I think it is still too early to tell. If SMASH can rise to 1.8+ in ratings in its coming weeks then I think the show will get a third season. If it drops then we should be worried.

Other than The Voice and Community, NBC has no other "signature" show that defines the network. With The Office and 30 Rock both ending this year, and Deception and Do No Harm both failing, I think SMASH has a chance of getting a third season should their ratings improve in the coming weeks.

It dipped after the Super Bowl inflated premiere, but it would vary from going up or down in the 2.0 range from what I recall, and a 2.0+ rating is good for NBC.

So it's almost 50% decline from a year ago. I forgot premiere followed Super Bowl last year, maybe cause I watched it online before that...

I don't see the light at the end of this tunnel. Oh well.

didn't the premiere follow The Voice on the Monday after the Super Bowl? I thought that was their big tag line, "The Monday After the Super Bowl."

If if we don't get a third season, we'll get all of 2.

I have to wonder, based on the release of the Bombshell CD: will there be a similar release for the competing show, Hit List? If nothing else, they could do a mini-disc, like Glee does for special episodes (the Rocky Horror, Grease, and Madonna episodes all got their own albums).

Just finished watching "Bunheads". Holy cow-the blonde girl is a dead ringer for Megan Hilty.

Scarves are gone, Leo is gone, Ellis is gone. I am happy.

Megan Hilty-could listen to her every day for breakfast.

I just thought of something, with Tom taking over as director when it goes to Broadway, would all the staging have to be changed with Derek leaving the show?

Unless they were to credit Derek for his work, which I believe they do... they credit him for Choreography according to the spoiler image.
