Posted: 4/30/13 at 10:36pmThe worst part of Smash's inevitable canceling is the lack of new material to make fun of. This thread gives me life.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 10:38pmNot NOt NOT a broadway snob. But I'm glad they're here because they're funny.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 10:40pmIf it is cancelled why is NBC taking so long to make an announcement? Not only on SMASH but other shows as well?

Probably because NBC, like the other networks, is trying to finalize the fall schedule and they don't want to prematurely say something is canceled or renewed before having all their ducks in a row.
Remember last year when CBS announced that Unforgettable was canceled, and then a few weeks later they were like, "Oops, we meant to say this was renewed!"
They announced the renewal of some sure bets to generate buzz and gauge reaction. In two weeks we'll know the fate of basically every show. I'm sure Community fans, Body of Proof viewers and many other shows on the bubble are just as nervous as some of the Smash fans on this thread.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 10:54pmShould Karen McPhee have noticed that Jiminy Jordan wasn't there to catch her?

Speaking of Buzzfeed/SMASH..... You guys have all seen this right? It literally gives me life.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 11:46pmMakes sense Whizzer. Has a show ever been renewed by "default"? Space left in the new lineup so somethings got to feel it?

The 2 new songs they are featuring make me think us Kyle admirers are in for a weepy time.
Poor Phyliss.

Posted: 5/1/13 at 2:20amOy my lord, Whizzer. I can't believe you referenced Dawson's particularly busy weekend right here in front of Sondheim and everybody. The horror.... the horror.... (or is that 'the whorer... the whorer...')

Yeah, a character covering one of my fave Radiohead songs--aside from making me cringe a bit in anticipation, makes me pretty sure anyone who doubted Phyllis' avatar was wrong.
UCRJR there are certain shows that do reasonably well that networks often sorta keep in their back pocket to throw in if another show doesn't do well--so it's kinda a renew by default. CBS' never-will-die sitcom Rules of Engagement immediately springs to mind. The past few seasons it's squeaked by with half season orders and is usually shoved into some timeslot where another sitcom bombs.

Posted: 5/1/13 at 6:32amOn the plus side,rare as they are, they're actually letting Christian Borle sing again.
SMASH#2387
Posted: 5/1/13 at 6:58amThat is a plus. The song is probably be going to be sung in a flashback with Tom and Kyle in it.

Posted: 5/1/13 at 7:19amNo, it's all speculating. I personally think he's not, as it seems to obvious to be true.
SMASH#2390
Posted: 5/1/13 at 7:22amSince when is Smash known for being anything but obvious?
SMASH#2391
Posted: 5/1/13 at 7:29amWell... We've had surprises before, remember the Boston previews?
SMASH#2392
Posted: 5/1/13 at 7:38amThe people in denial about Kyle's death are like those in denial that the show will be canceled!

I know it has been discussed in this thread how NBC doesn't care about this show anymore, but still I find it very unlikely for them to imply at the end of the episode Kyle is dead and then have the characters talking about him in the preview and showing his picture. It seems too easy to figure out.
SMASH#2394
Posted: 5/1/13 at 9:34amThat Buzzfeed pictorial cracked me up. No one is worse than Karen, not even Ellis!
SMASH#2395
Posted: 5/1/13 at 9:56amKyle's either dead now or dead soon. Either way, he's so much dead meat. He has to die so they can have Jimmy de-douchify.
SMASH#2396
Posted: 5/1/13 at 10:25amKyle helped us believe in love. I can't believe you disagree.
