I've heard a lot of good things about this and since I'm pretty
much done with Glee, this opens up a spot for me to check this
out. Premieres tonight, but Hulu has Special Preview sneak peek
episode up now.

I was a little leery about diving into another musical series,
especially after Glee, that seems to go nowhere, with whiny kids
and 95% crappy versions of hit songs. But watching Smash, those
fears started to drift away in large part because of the
characters themselves. I was immediately engaged and invested in
all of them and want to see how it all turns out. The music was
basically a bonus for me and more to the point, the songs are
fantastic. As the review up above mentions, I really don't know
how they can keep the level, production wise, they've set in the
Pilot for the entire season. I'm down for the rest of the
season. Should be a fun ride.

My wife enjoyed it. Haven't talked to her yet about why or if
it's better than Glee.
Not sure I'll check it out.

No whiny kids with a story that goes nowhere makes Smash and
instant winner for me. I'm actually surprised that I stuck with
Glee for as long as I did, given the fact that it peaked in
Season 1.

I knew that there would be a slight drop from the first episode
to this one. It was still a good one, but you can definitely see
a little bit of a slip here. But the biggest moment was one that
I saw coming, but didn't think I'd actually 'see' it. I of
course am referring to the sex scene. That was some pretty
awesome NBC humping on the air. Pushing the envelope to generate
controversy and get press? I'm all for it. But how about we take
it a step further and get Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty doing
their version of the scene from Bound.

My wife said she was a tad bored with this one. Not sure she saw
the 'scene' though. She was up in bed 10 minutes before it was
over. (shrug)

This episode didn't have the pop of the first one and I do see
it going down a bit from here on out. I think they may have shot
their entire wad in the opening and we won't see anything as
close to it until the Finale is my guess.
