Smash: Glee for Adults?

Smash has been commonly linked with Fox's Glee as they are both of the musical genre. This article in the Hollywood Reporter briefly discusses those comparisons and to a certain extent even accepts them, if Glee is for teens (not exclusively) then Smash is most certainly for an older demographic (also not exclusiveluy).

Also this article discusses the differences in the subject matter from the original inception of the series, as it now is NBC's big hit and does not belong to Showtime. Had the show stayed with Showtime it would most certainly have catered to an adult audience and have much less in common with Glee and its "high school musical" nature. Personally, as a fan of Glee (although my loyalty has considerably faded) I understand the comparisons but I stress to friends that Smash is not Glee, and the only thing in my mind that they have in common is the musical aspect. What do you all, those who have watched both shows, think about the comparisons?

"Party Down" Film on the Way?

When many of our favorite TV shows get cancelled (i.e. Arrested Development), all many of us have left to hope is that some studio will pick it up and make a film to satisfy their cult following.

The only problem is, many times these are rumors—ones that usually don't come true. According to Entertainment Weekly though, one of my favorite TV shows may finally be getting their chance to give us a proper farewell.

The show I speak of is "Party Down." The series was on Starz, but was cancelled after two seasons because there wasn't a huge audience, and the show was losing its stars left and right. Jane Lynch had left the show before the first season even finished, as she had moved on to Fox's "Glee", while the star of the show, Adam Scott left for NBC's "Parks and Recreations."

The series followed failed movie industry workers, such as actors, actresses and writers. Since they were all out of a job, they managed to make money by working for a catering business.

The show had a great story line, and it had a lot of guest stars.

The show ended without any closure, so perhaps they will finally be able to put an ending to what was a great series.
