Calling All Hate-Watchers: “Smash” Returns
NBC isn’t raising the curtain on “Smash” Season 2 until Tuesday, Feb. 5 — with a two-hour opener, no less. So to help the musical-drama’s fans, both existing and prospective, bide their time, Ew.com has previewed the premiere and two subsequent episodes and compiled this list of semi-spoilery observations. Katherine McPhee and Megan Hilty still star, with Jennifer Hudson as a guest star. “Smash” is the ultimate in “hate-watching” — you know, rubbernecking at that highway accident that you shouldn’t be enjoying — so I will be tuning in for sure. And anyone who has a problem with that can kiss my sardine.
