Smash (2012)
Broadway Meets E.R.
Truthfully, this is the NBC's secret weapon for the mid-season. Let me first start off by saying the connections to Glee are strictly musical. There are no awkward teens or silly, juvenile issues that pop up in Smash. Smash is everything that Glee strives to me and more; original, witty, entertaining, but adds the element of realism. Slightly paraphrasing Megan Hilty, Smash is Broadway meets E.R.
You won't get any trivial relationship tiffs with NBC's new musical drama. The characters in this show have real lives with continuity, which makes for a great audience connection with each of them. The drama in Smash revolves around the backstage politics of a Broadway production in which all the characters are involved with. Actresses Karen Cartwright (Katherine McPhee) and Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty) are both vying for the part of Marilyn Monroe in an upcoming musical written by popular Broadway writing duo Julia Houston (Debra Messing) and Tom Levitt (Christian Borle).
I saw the advance screening in Portland, OR, and was utterly amazed with the production quality of the whole pilot. I recommend this show to anyone who enjoys musical theatre, as well as good old-fashioned drama TV shows. Smash is sure to please.
Glee (2009)
Glee fills my heart with...well...
Yes. With glee. And here are my reasons:
>>The characters are true-to-form show choir members. As a former show choir member myself, I can truly say I had friends that were as driven as Rachael Berry, or as confused and passionate as Finn Hudson. I myself was a male version of Mercedes.
>>The script has an equal amount of witty writing as well as a proper amount of corny-ness. This show has had me laugh and cry in one episode which has never happened to me while watching a television show.
>>The actors are top notch. Jane Lynch (Sue), Matthew Morrison (Will), Lea Michele (Rachael), and Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) have all been on Broadway and all have amazing voices, including Jane who has not sung on the show yet.
God bless Glee.
