Posted: 4/28/13 at 5:17pmA "tragedy" seems like he's dead. But maybe he's just horribly, well, smashed up.

Kathy Lee Gifford looks like hell as a blonde and she should wear sleeves. Her arms look like oatmeal.
WHY are they wearing wigs and costumes to teach a children's class?!
They have made Jimmy so unlikable that there’s no hope for his part.
Tom is being a total dick to Julia, because he turned her down. Why is he so upset that she’s going to do GATSBY with someone else?! That's basically what he told her to do.
"He gets hit by a hot dog cart." With Headlights!

This was such a terrible, embarrassing episode. The writers are only good when it comes to making Jimmy the worst character on television at the moment, every time I think I can't hate him more, the writers surprise me with a new episode where he behaves like the most unrealistic, unlikable, awful character. And at this point I'm starting to feel bad for McPhee. HIT LIST is a disaster. The chair choreography, the cringing finale, that atrocious scene between the two leads, the costumes...the list is endless.
The premise of Ivy being overworked was kind of interesting, but then they didn't do anything with it. I'm so happy I got to hear Hilty singing the mambo though! The only good thing about the episode.
I can't stand the fact everybody on the show behaves so unprofessionally. Debra Messing says yes to writing GATSBY but then tries to pull out just because Tom has a hissy fit? They bicker like they're in a lost audition tape for WILL & GRACE in front of an entire audience while promoting their struggling new Broadway show?

Posted: 4/28/13 at 5:53pmSpeaking of Sam, I loved Jeremy's rant about Karen bring in her "friend" to replace him. Save for the "I love church" moment, has there ever been any indication on this show that they are friends?

Posted: 4/28/13 at 5:53pmWhy would Kyle's accident bring them together. The only one with any sort of connection to him from Bombshell would be Tom, right?

Okay, so Amanda dies in Hit List and then they just have this happy group number without any follow-up to her death? There's no reaction from Jesse, who was supposedly madly in love with her? I'd be so pissed if I saw that show.
Also, diaf Jimmy.
I laughed a lot at everyone talking about how "edgey" Hit List is. Yes, it's so edgy with its POP MUSIC and its POVERTY and CHARACTER DEATH. God, Sweeney Todd alone makes it look like Sesame Street (only the latter has better music).

Posted: 4/28/13 at 5:56pmThis show got good. Anything that involves the unrequited love of a hunky straight guy by a gay I'm totally in for. When Jimmy called him out for it- very tasty indeed!

Posted: 4/28/13 at 5:56pmWell, he did sing at Zombie Amanda as she wandered across the stage.

"Speaking of Ivy being overworked ... who's her understudy?"
-
Her mother.
In a shocking twist, the Tony community rules in favor of Leigh being nominated in the role of Marilyn as Leading Actress and she beats Karen without ever going on.

Right....and Julia. Still.
As for Hit List...it's not like we saw the whole thing, so who know what was suppose to happen.
SMASH#2243
Posted: 4/28/13 at 6:08pmSpeaking of (S)Hit List, does anyone have ANY clue what that show is supposed to actually be about?

Didn't they say once that a lot of people die at the end of HIT LIST? Is that still true? Or did Julia get rid of that when she became the dramaturg?
Also, I can't stand the wigs for HIT LIST! And sorry but Krysta Rodriguez is doing as poor of a job as McPhee, Jordan and the guy who played Kyle.

Kyle's bio: "Born and raised in Bay Ridge, Kyle attended Fort Hamilton High School, where he illegally downloaded his first cult album 'Heding and the Angry Inch' at age 14 in the library. Since then he's been obsessed, in order, with the following: Cole Porter, Moulin Rouge, Scissor Sisters, Alex Timbers, The Great Gatsby, Houston and Levitt, the Muppets, Our Lady J, the Grain, Stephen Sondheim, and Lena Dunham. He got his associate degree from LaGuardia Community College. Kyle's biggest wish: a '30 seconds back' button on conversations like the one on a DVR. Proud Greenpoint resident. Follow Kyle on Twitter."
Kyle is ALIVE

Ok, so I just spoke with a pretty prominent cast member about the show. I asked him/her if the show was cancelled or not. He/She told me that it's still not official and any word that it is cancelled is false. However they would all be absolutely shocked if it were picked up for another season and are going ahead as if it's over.
Just wanted to put it out there.

Jeez, is Lena Dunham screwing one of the writers of Smash or something?
All we have of Hit List is a very vague storyline where apparently this guy from THE STREETS whose childhood was TERRIBLE writes these songs to express his anger which he calls his "Hit List," this chick he's in love with sleeps with him and steals one of these songs, it becomes a huge hit, she becomes a pop star, and she keeps coming back for more songs. He keeps giving it to her because he loves her even though he knows she's just using him. Then at some point the chick becomes so popular that another pop singer gets jealous and shoots her?
Amanda's death transitioned right to the ending, so I'm pretty sure that's it. But maybe I'm wrong.
