Let’s Be Bad isn’t just the title of the latest episode of Smash but it also seemed to be the magic words that pushed all of the central characters into a realm for which the viewers have not seen them, pushing their boundaries and revealing another layer of who each of them are a people. Eileen is shaken by the …

So, you know how you have that show that you absolutely love, but there’s an episode that just doesn’t float your boat? Yeah – me too. Not that it isn’t good, this episode, but it’s not up to the standards to which you’ve become accustomed. Mind you, seeing Jesse Heiman sucking on a water fountain spout brightened my day – but otherwise… …

If you do a google search for Adam Scott, the first page is filled with results for two different celebrities. While they have much in common, ‘slightly tousled’ hair, low-key success in their chosen field, and a charming humility, the Adam Scott I’m profiling is not at all interested in golf. He currently stars as Ben Wyatt in the ensemble …

What does it take to make a hit Broadway musical? It is vital to have just the right cast members (lead and ensemble), the right director (even if he is known as the “Dark Prince” behind the scenes), a good composing/writing team (even if they are a little quirky and hiding secrets) and the right backing (or at least the …

Oh sweet, lovable, sad-sack, failure Jerry. I wondered if he could get more pathetic, and it turns out he could. His birthday is February 29th. Not that there’s a problem with that – but pile it on top of everything else that’s wrong with Jerry and it paints a very vivid picture. This time, it’s not a painting of Leslie as a …

In an episode that was to be focused on finding just the right actor to play Joe DiMaggio, the second husband of Marilyn Monroe, this new episode of Smash seemed to be overshadowed by filler stories focusing on affairs, stealing, acceptance and posturing. Ivy is still leading her (for now) quiet affair with Derek, but questioning if she was given …

Now that we have reached February sweeps – the mid-season point for the current TV season – it is time to take a look at how all of the major networks are performing in terms of an overall score rather than a list of the winners and losers for each network. Each score will encompass how well the network has …

Ever since I heard that Louis C.K. would be back as Leslie’s ex-boyfriend, Dave – I’ve been looking forward to “[easyazon-link asin=”B007AB7GKY”]Dave Returns[/easyazon-link]”. Totally worth the wait. Not only was the main storyline hilarious, the two side stories were also fantastic. I knew from the spoilers that Dave would try to win Leslie back in front of her current boyfriend, …

The pressure is on for Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) and Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty) as they await a decision that could alter one of their lives: the lead in the new play about Marilyn Monroe.
