    I watched the series pilot preview of Smash (as can you, with the above video) before the premiere on Monday, February 6, 2012. Before even watching, I’m already thinking this is going to be like Glee. While it is in the sense that it’s a musical show, it’s definitely standing on its own.

    Set on Broadway, it has a good mix of lite drama as well as sharp verbal wit. I love Debra Messing and I’m not much of a fan of Katharine McPhee but I have to admit that she did a good job here. Before I knew it, 46 minutes was up and it didn’t feel like it was dragging along. 

    My favorite part? Seeing Alex Wong from SYTYCD in the ‘baseball number’ of their Broadway musical they’re piecing together, Marilyn [Monroe]. Speaking of musical numbers, the original scores and songs is commendable. I LOVE the ‘real’ broadway aspect of the show.

    There’s a level of sophistication and perhaps even ‘originality’ to the musical compared to Glee. Don’t get me wrong - I love Glee but Smash is another breath of fresh air in the musical show realm. Two different shows that can’t really be directly compared.

    See for yourself now. You can also download the pilot for free on iTunes (and in HD, too!).

Must there really be a better answer to the question, "why?" than "jess_because"??
