Hello, everyone.

I, too, had a good night's sleep and a most productive morning. How nice!

I wonder if this aspect of SMASH feeling like a show that starts slow and picks up is based in part on the NY Times review, although that said it picks up in Episode 3. This was from the NY Times review of SMASH by Neil Genzlinger:

" But it soon found its voice, and the audience found it. “Smash” gets better as it goes along. It’s unlikely to achieve television greatness like “M*A*S*H” did, but by Episode 3 it shows signs of becoming an addictive pleasure along the lines of this season’s “Revenge.” "

Well, there's the problem right there: they should have called it S*M*A*S*H.

Cirque must have used the same rigging they provided for the production of PETER PAN I did here a few years ago--Peter was able to fly out over the audience, almost touching the second balcony at the back of the theater. It was incredible to watch from the pit.

I remember when it was a thrill just to see Sandy Duncan soar over the front row of the orchestra.

I've been in a few shows with people I would have liked to send soaring over the front row.

Given the stories you've told, I don't doubt that.

Hmmmm....one episode of "Revenge" hooked me...and that was four weeks ago. I saw episode 3 of ""Smash" and wondered "What-The-Hell".

Maybe....just maybe...something starts clicking tonight.

Let me know tomorrow. I can always catch it on "On Demand".

Red Velvet pancakes are going to win out tonight, simply because I'm at a friend's house and she has the ingredients. And the recipe. And sometimes having both of those helps.

TOD:

And who was that gorgeous hunk of man sitting next to Viola Davis???!!!

Don't you mean Octavia Spencer?

Well, the guy sitting with Octavia was handsome also, but this is the guy I was thinking of, which it turns out is her husband Julius Tennon.

I have not heard or read anything about anyone being upset about Crystal's Sammy Davis impersonation.

It's all over Huffpost...

I read about it on Huffpost, but it was just referring to some tweets that were questioning it. So I don't really think anyone credible was caring one way or another about it. In fact why Huffpost thought it was worthy of a headline is beyond me...but I guess it did make people click and read...of course (and I like Huffinton Post) but a lot of their headlines are quite misleading, I have found.

It probably was mentioned because it was "trending"...whatever the hell that means.

I just got a nice shipment of new Uni 100 releases. The bad news is it doesn't look like there will be BDs of MY MAN GODFREY or SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS.

But is there any THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE (1958) or THE CAT CREEPS (1946)? Those are what Universal really needs to start releasing.

MBarnum · « **Reply #170 on:** February 27, 2012, 04:30:39 PM »

Turns out Julius Tennon is an actor...hmmm...might need to think about adding him to my list of interviewees.

It is darn near impossible to find a photo of him on the internet where his wife is not attached to his hip....this might make my ~~fantasy~~ ~~desire~~ ability to interview him a bit more difficult.

We're playing around with this recipe:

http://www.foodrepublic.com/2011/09/17/red-velvet-pancakes-recipe

Every red velvet cake I've ever made puts a touch of vinegar in the buttermilk, which I think they get around by using sour cream. We're modifying that slightly. And will probably whip the cream cheese for the topping with a touch of vanilla and add some pecans.
