And the house cleaning continues at NBC! Just hours after announcing the cancellation of 'Go On' and a number of NBC series, along with a surprising renewal for 'Community' NBC has officially bid adieu to struggling musical drama 'Smash,' as well as Ryan Murphy's freshman dramedy 'The New Normal.' Find out what else is kaput at NBC inside!
Even the most casual of 'Smash' viewers knows that what started as a promising Broadway musical drama quickly devolved into the target of critical angst, leading to a complete creative shakeup in season 2 and the replacement of show-runner Theresa Rebeck with 'Gossip Girl' helmer Josh Safran. Now, as the series lies on the verge of cancellation, Rebeck had some rather harsh words for the direction 'Smash' has taken in season 2, and her own involvement in the debacle.
No one was exactly surprised when NBC's controversial Broadway drama 'Smash' made the leap to Saturday nights, effectively shelving the series as its second season continued to tank in the ratings. Now, however, it seems NBC has granted the upcoming 'Smash' season 2 finale a spotlight on Sunday night, but will it prove to be the series finale after all?
Meet Smash, a Turkish Suicide Girl who says lies make her sad and lists "fun" as one of her hobbies. We can't argue with that, Smash!
