I believe the sho...I think you are both dead wrong! I believe the show did over reach...trying to bring Broadway to a general audience, but I think Katherine McPhee is excellent, the wrinting in season I far superior and the song and dance numbers staged beautifully for a TV production. Unfortunately they panicked and tried to make the show more cliche, more accessible.<br />It no longer feels remotely like New York Theatre characters, and Karen's metamorphesis is too tepid. Though I love Hudson, her character and her star power are distracting to the original story line and the Director, who was one of the best TYV charaters in ages is now a bafoon. Now we Messing Moving in with her partner a la Will and Grace and next week Jack does a cameo. <br /><br />all I know was the final show of last season was brilliant TV, and McPhee proved herself as a force to reckoned with. The final number was breathtaking. My only regret was that the buxom Ivey, who was more Mansfield than Monroe,didn't follow through with her suicide plans.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058584361231587409.post-39171931541111047712013-02-08T14:42:54.236-08:002013-02-08T14:42:54.236-08:00I stopped watching season 1 the same time you did....I stopped watching season 1 the same time you did. I wanted to love the show but just couldn't get sucked in. I'm not even going to bother with season 2. I'm giving up on NBC. <br /><br />-ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
