NBC’s Smash: 18 Quickies from Season 2 Premiere

What is that saying? Time has been kind to you? Well, whatever that saying might be, I think it is safe to say that time (and change) have been kind to NBC’s “Smash.” With no more Ellis and very little Frank on my screen to Tom prompting a fashion change for Julia, it seems change for the good has hit Bombshell and it’s cast & crew. We just got done watching the two-hour season premiere and we’ve jotted down 18 quick thoughts. We can’t really share much more for fear that the government will catch me and freeze my financials or Rebecca Duvall & the tabloids will spread a nasty rumor about the Yak. We can’t have any of that. But you can read on and whet your appetite for “Smash” Season 2, which kicks off with a two-hour episode Feb 5 at 9/8c before moving to it’s timeslot at 10/9c on Feb 12.

Below, you will now find a special Season 2 trailer, plus a number from Jennifer Hudson, “I Can’t Let Go,” which will air during the season’s 4th episode.
