TV Worth Watching: NBC's 'Smash': A Musical Treat,... →
I never got around to writing a pilot review of Smash because, honestly, I was burned out on the advertising even though I really enjoyed the first episode. David Bianculli sums it up better than I would have anyway.

Smash, which was conceived as an idea by Steven Spielberg, begins with a very high ambition: Explore and dramatize, in a scripted weekly TV series, the act...
