Smash

‘Smash’ moves to Tuesday, ‘The Voice’ Season 4 premieres March 25, 2013

NBC has released it’s mid-season 2013 schedule. Smash is moving to Tuesdays and premieres on February 5 with guest Jennifer Hudson. The Voice season 4 with Usher and Shakira will premiere in March 25/26, 2013.

Again, The Voice is perfectly scheduled. It won’t be going head to head with the premiere of American Idol like last season — and it’s going to premiere just as interest for Idol wanes. I can’t wait!

Smash – Season 1 Highlight Reel – Video

Here’s a highlight reel of the best moments from season one of Smash.

I must confess that I am on Team Ivy (Megan Hilty), but I do hope that Karen (Katharine McPhee) improves her stiff acting for the next season. She has many months to get it done! I believe!

We love this show!

Smash – Season 1 Episode 15 – Bombshell – Season Finale Recap

After 14 episodes chock full of ups and downs for the show’s characters, it all came down to the wire in Smash‘s season finale tonight. The part of Marilyn has been dangled in front of our noses all season.

Who would play the iconic role? The sultry Ivy? The “too green” Karen? Or would Rebecca swoop back in to snatch it all away? Or would they hire someone else completely?

Tonight, we learned all that and more.
