goseawardOkay, how much do I love Smash?
1. Two gay men in bed together on network TV
2. Two gay men in bed together on network TV, laughing about how bad the sex was!
3. Musical theatre numbers ♥
And just, y'know, it's not like it's ground-breaking, but there's just something so pleasurable in watching really good people do really good scripts week after week.
Anyway, I feel like Monday nights are my background-noise-free TV nights, because I watch The Voice and Smash right in a row, and it's just... Well. The background noise on usual TV is the fact that there's always just one PoV (usually white, upper middle class, thin, with no visible disabilities & heterosexual), but neither of these shows actually seems to give a shit about that sort of thing. My example moment was a few weeks ago on the Voice, when an approximately 50-year-old fat black woman auditioned, and Adam Levine turned around and said, "You were exactly what I was hoping to see." How often would you hear that aimed at such a person, y'know? Neither one is perfect, obvs (Smash in particular is very white & very thin/traditionally good-looking, and neither one is good on the people with disabilities front) but comparatively they're wonderful.
