This Wednesday, April 10, SMASH has received another unnecessary thread. Don't know whether this is a "permanent" trend.

Posted: 4/10/13 at 12:46pmI'll take a Smash thread over a "Why did _________ close?" or "Why did _________ win a Tony over _________?" thread any day.

That's because those are harder for you to wreak havoc in kind sir. :-P
Which reminds me...

Posted: 4/10/13 at 12:50pmSmash confuses me because in their Broadway world Bernadette Peters never existed. Who played Dot? Who played Mabel? Who replaced Buckley as the Witch? It all hurts my head.

The ReNt poster that's constantly over Jesse L Martin's head must really vex yoU!

Posted: 4/10/13 at 12:54pmI don't even watch SMASH and I'M caught up the drama of "will-the-last-episodes-air-and-if-so-WHEN-do they-air?" The scheduling seems to have as many plot twists as the show itself.

Oh that drove me nuts too! And the Bernadette Peters revival of Gypsy was still running last season (without Peters) per a scene in Time Square!
Though since their other musical is still playing The Shubert that means Memphis never existed, so I'm okay with that one.

Posted: 4/10/13 at 12:56pmI do enjoy the NYTW Rent Poster hanging over JLM's head all the time. Although, Phyllis. Surely you know that he wasn't in that production of Rent.

Also, I believe that Bernadette Peters does exist in the world of Smash. It just isn't Ivy's mom - though they do look a lot alike. It's a Sarah Jessica Parker/Horse from 2 Broke Girls thing. It takes a little suspension of disbelief.

Posted: 4/10/13 at 1:13pmMy best friend tunes in to SMASH and this is his take on the latest scheduling move: "And it’s deliberate! NBC really really REALLY wants to make sure they can get rid of this show on the basis that no one’s watching."

Does American Idol exist? How about 9 TO 5? And let's not even talk about WICKED with Hilty!
But they basically already got rid of it. They don't need to justify cancelling it by moving it around, it is precisely because it's already dead that they can afford to play with it so easily.

Posted: 4/10/13 at 1:29pmDoes Ruthie Ann Miles as Imelda Marcos exist? Does Gloria Reuben as Condoleeza Rice exist? Did Tovah Feldshuh REALLY do GYPSY?

Remember when she was definitely going to win the Tony for IRENA'S VOW? Maybe in the world of SMASH she did.

I don't know which I'd rather have: dead-eyes former American Idol contestant Katharine McPhee, or dead-eyes, probably going to win a Tony because she's a "star" Karen Cartwright.
