Just watched the Smash pilot.
A few nights ago, Rae and I caved and signed up for Hulu plus so we could watch recent episodes of Community and Law and Order. (Community continues to be one of the most brilliant, hilarious shows on tv right now, but more on that later.)
Today, while making my way through a pile of midterms, I thought I'd see if Smash was on Hulu. It is. I just watched it. I think I like it. And here's why.
1. I like shows about musical theater. (42nd Street is one of my favorites.)
2. The music is fun. I grew up on show tunes that were in a similar vein, and I miss them.
3. The costumes are fun. The dancing is fun.
4. JACK DAVENPORT BEING SASSY AND BRILLIANT AND KIND OF A JERK
5. I don't have to think too hard, and it doesn't look like it's going to rip out my soul on a regular basis. I need a little of that in my life.
6. Did I mention that Jack Davenport is gorgeous and every time he opens his mouth I melt a little, even when he's being horrid?
Going to watch episode two and grade more midterms now.
