Katharine McPhee "Smash" Trailer

NBC has given Smash, a new musical drama starring Katharine McPhee & Debra Messing, a midseason pick-up. Check out a trailer for Smash above, which suggests that Kat will receive a TON of screen time--both acting & singing--when the show begins airing on Mondays at 10/9c this coming winter. Other than the fact that this toootally seems like a movie plot, so I have no idea how they're going to stretch it out into a TV series, this looks good--& GREAT for Katharine! Though I must say... She finished runner-up on American Idol. She was signed to & released an album on the major label RCA. She was in the movie "The House Bunny" & even guest-starred on the TV show Community... & they're 'introducing' her? To the kind of audience that would watch a music-centric TV show?! -_-
