My favorite thing about SMASH was the opening moment- Katherine McPhee singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I just started laughing out loud. I don’t know how many people got the joke- that was the song Simon Cowell chose for her to sing on judges’ choice night, and one of the songs she sang for the finals when she came in second on Idol –but for me it was fabulous.
I love musical theater. SMASH wasn’t perfect, but it was good enough that I’ll keep watching. I’ll just have to remember to watch Castle on Hulu Plus later in the week.
