Kat is awesome in this show.

Ivy was such a witch the other night!

She is awesome. I never realized how good she is.

I watched the first half. I had to turn the TV off early to get some sleep. I did see that exchange between the two of them in the rehearsal hall. Ivy is so dang fake. Karen did not deserve that from her.

Ivy is fake and also insecure. She has issues for sure.

Spirit - I was not a fan of hers when she was on Idol but she really is terrific in this role!

I thought this week's episode was really good. Things are progressing well character and story wise. I thought Bernadette Peters as Ivy's mom was great!

They could NOT have picked a better actress to play Ivy's mom. LOVE Bernadette!! She still looks freaking amazing!!

Love this show! So impressed with the whole cast.

Congrats to the cast of Smash on earning a second season!!

Quote :

The NBC show Smash, which features American Idol alum, Katharine McPhee has been renewed for a second season.

The show has averaged 7.7 million viewers and a 2.6 adult demo rating.

The ratings have been modest, but it’s enough for NBC to give it another go. Smash is a delicious behind the scenes look at the cut throat world of Broadway.

Although the plot twists can be ridiculous at times, the music is wonderful and there is some fine acting–particularly Megan Hilty who plays Ivy.

Katharine McPhee, as a newcomer, is making quite a splash as well.

Haven't missed an episode (...and the funniest is... DH is also hooked LOL!)
I love the show, think everyone is cast perfectly, and that it's really great!
(Glad there's a thread here..... took me how long to find it??! LOL!)

That's awesome flipe!

This week's show was rather interesting. I kind of didn't connect some of it the way I probably should have, but I got it well enough I think. It looks like many things are going to hit the fan coming up. It S]should be good.

I thought it was really good. I'm anxious to see how Ivy handles being in the chorus and who they will get to play Marilyn. It was fun to see Kat in a more modern song and dance number.

I don't know whether it's posted in here somewhere or even if you saw any article regarding it. I do remember reading Uma Thurman is supposed to appear on the show and go for the role of Marilyn.

No I didn't know that! She is cool! Star power for sure. Can't wait.

Hey, didn't you just love that whole dancing in the bowling ally scene? I thought that was so much fun!

Yeah, that was pretty cool.

Monday's episode was another good one. I do feel badly for Ivy. She's really going down the wrong road. It was nice to see her and Karen get loose together for a change. The scene in Times Square with them singing was fun.

Elese sure keeps trying doesn't he? The guy doesn't give up.

Yes, it was a very good episode! Ivy seems to be a bit of a messed up young woman. I was indeed happy to see her and Karen get a little closer. Wonder if that will last though. Sad to see Julia mess up her marriage.....

Elese is something else!

I see Uma starts appearing this Monday. Should be fun!

I don't know whether it will last or not. I'm hoping we get a little more of them "getting along" from time to time. Yeah it was horrible watching Julia's life crumble, but it had to happen sooner or later.

It was sooo good last night!! Kat doing Bollywood!! She is amazing on this show!!!! I want a soundtrack from this show! All the songs from this season! So much talent!

There's a special Target only exclusive version of the soundtrack coming out next month.

COOL!! I am going to have to check it out!

WOW! This show has been so good!! Cannot believe Dev and Ivy hooked-up!! That is messed-up!

I wonder who will be Marilyn????? I hope it is Karen but I bet it will be Ivy.

I'm so behind on this show. I hope to catch up on it on Thursday or Friday. I don't mind spoilers though so need to worry about that. I'm ALWAYS up for spoilers.

ETA: It took me a little while to make the connection between Dev and Ivy. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUDGE? That is sooooooooooooo COMPLETELY messed up!

Well, I won't tell you any more - but that totally shocked me!!!
