'Smash' Premiere Falls Short, Loses Viewers

This isn't all that surprising: Before Smash's debut in 2011, producer Craig Zadan said at NBC Press Tour, “I don't think any of us feel our show is like Glee, but we feel grateful to Glee for opening that door,” – creating space for more TV musical shows.

Comments +; Add comment. If you're invested in Smash -- and since you're reading this, chances seem good that you are -- then reports about how new showrunner Josh Safran tweaked the series for season 2 have probably left you feeling ambivalent.

It's safe to say that no matter if you love or love-to-hate “Smash,” the theater community was excited for the anticipated season two premiere on Tuesday night—mainly to see if the rather wobbly show could come out with a show-stopping opener
