New Shows: Katherine McPhee does Broadway and Kristen Bell Returns

[ambergold]

From Film School Rejects, two new shows that have me excited (seriously, a Broadway show starring someone who can actually sing?! This is what I wish Glee was every time I condescend to watch it. And the second one - Kristen Bell. I say no more).

Smash, NBC

Have you watched the pilot for "House of Lies" yet? I did and I was soooooo disappointed. I was interested for all the reasons you listed, but not one of them came through. Just thought I'd prep you, although it might (if it tries really hard) pick up in the second episode. Oh man, just thinking back to the episode bums me out.

oh really? I haven't watched it yet and I did read one bad review but I was hoping that was a fluke :( gahh!! I need my Kristen Bell awesomeness asap! (my disappointment is tempered by the fact that I hate Don Cheadle though)

I just caught the first episode of Smash last night. It looks promising.

yay! good.

I'm a little turned off by the fact that, since it's on showtime, House of Lies is going to have half a dozen sex scenes per episode. (I'm not just assuming that; I read it in an interview. Okay, maybe not always that exact number.) I'm more interested in likeable characters than bare skin, y'know?

oh gross. I...don't think I've ever seen a Showtime show before so wasn't aware of that. Yeah actually I've been hearing negative things about this show today so am much less excited about it. Sigh when will Kristen get her own show??
