Is 'Smash' a Musical? Behind the Golden Globes Shocker
More drama than musical, the "Smash" nomination is dubious but also historic. No wonder people are stunned -- beyond it not being very good.
A lot of people -- OK, let's just say most people -- were shocked to find that NBC's Smash is nominated for a Golden Globe. Nobody expected that. If they did, they'd be lying or delusional. Smash is a drama about trying to stage a musical (about Marilyn Monroe in season one) on Broadway.
PHOTOS: Golden Globe Awards 2013: The Complete List of Nominees
But is Smash really a musical? Because it's certainly not a comedy. There are two shows on television that play at being "musicals": Glee is a hodgepodge of emotions but most clearly a comedy about a nerdy glee club trying to sing their way to being accepted and popular at school; the other is the aforementioned Smash, which is, to state it again, a drama about staging a musical.
On Thursday, Smash inexplicably was nominated for a Golden Globe. But not in the "best series, drama" category. No, it was nominated in the "best series, comedy or musical" category. The knee-jerk reaction was: "What the hell? Smash is not a comedy." The reason for that shock is -- pay attention here -- that from 1977 to 2008, a span of 31 years, no series that even pretended to be a musical was nominated in that category.
Thirty-one years.
In 1981, Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters was nominated for a Golden Globe, but that was quite clearly a variety show. Nope, from 1977 to 2008, everything in the category, save the Mandrell family hootenanny, was a comedy. People in situations that were, in some way, comedic. If there was a song in any of those shows, it was for a laugh. In 2009, Glee was nominated -- and won. Glee, despite being funny pretty much only when Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) says something, clearly is a comedy. The nerdy glee club sings lots of pop songs. Part of the storyline is that they compete against other glee clubs. If you want to consider the show a "musical," go ahead. In any case, Glee won again in the category in 2010. It was nominated, but did not win, in 2011.
This year, it was snubbed. Sarcastic gasp. That's because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association went with Smash, against all logic and expectation. Real gasp.
Smash is not a comedy. Not even close. We can agree on that, right? If you demand that Glee be deemed a musical, there's no reason to waste our lives arguing because it's also clearly a comedy and landed in the "comedy or musical" category.
I took some backlash about my Golden Globes column Thursday for being outraged that Smash would end up in this category. Look, the Golden Globes historically have done a lot of stupid and nonsensical things, but this seemed like a real goof. And yet, some people thought I didn't know the category name. Duh, they said, it's not a comedy, it's a musical. Look at the definition of the category! Well, yes, I was looking at it. Smash as a "musical" is, I believe, seriously debatable. Does that mean that Nashville is a musical? Most of Smash focuses on the drama of launching a stage musical. There's a lot more talking than signing. There are dramatic arcs everywhere, not all of them solved somehow or addressed in a song.
OPINION: Golden Globes: Tim Goodman on TV's 'Woeful' Nominations
Smash struck people as an odd fit precisely because we've been conditioned, for decades, to view this category as home to comedies. (And, as an aside, putting what for all intents and purposes seems to be a drama into this category, knocked out true and deserving comedies such as Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock and about a dozen others). Thus the outrage -- beyond the fact that Smash just isn't very good and shouldn't be considered for any award, regardless of category.
Now, instead of debating that element until we're red in the face, let's go further back in Golden Globe history. In 1976, Donny & Marie was nominated in this category. Would you call that a musical? Or a variety show? Back further, to both 1972 and '73, you'll find The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour nominated each time. Was that a musical? Hell, the title says comedy. In 1971, The Flip Wilson Show and The Carol Burnett Show both were nominated in the "best television series, comedy or musical" category. Would you call those two musicals? Or were they really variety shows, which almost always have music? The latter, of course.
OK, now let's go back to 1969 (when "musicals" were grouped with comedies) and 1970 as well. Both years had Carol Burnett nominated again, and both years had The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour nominated. Was the latter a musical?
It was not.
PHOTOS: Golden Globes Snubs: 'Mad Men,' Jamie Foxx, Robert De Niro
So, let's revise the math. From 1969 to 2008 -- a robust 39 years -- there wasn't a legit "musical" nominated in the category. Then, from 2009 to 2011, Glee was nominated three times. For the sake of not arguing, let's just say that Glee qualifies as a "musical comedy." Let's also say that you truly and utterly believe Smash to be a musical. Surely you would agree, based on the structure of the show -- and even how the structure compares to Glee -- that Smash is a "musical drama." Right?
Well, let's break out the bubbly because it would be the first "musical drama" in at least 43 years to get a Golden Globes nomination. Can you see how people might have a hard time wrapping their head around that?
Listen, Smash was a very compelling pilot with lots of potential. After that? Not good. The show was sappy; it was poorly written and melodramatic. Worse, what was supposed to be an easily definable character clash elicited murky emotions from fans. Broadway star Megan Hilty played Ivy, a chorus singer and dancer incredibly desperate to be a star (partly because of her mother's success on Broadway; her mother was played by Bernadette Peters). Ivy wants the part so badly she sleeps with the egotistical director. Ivy is mean, cutthroat, unlikable (you know, like poison ivy).
Her rival for the role of Marilyn is Karen (Katharine McPhee, a popular finalist on American Idol, who turned out to be a pretty good actress). Karen is from Iowa. She's a hick in the big city. She's nice and sweet – probably too much of both. She didn't sleep with the director. She clearly was meant to be the white hat in this situation, the viewer favorite. But the audience was split. Never mind the details, but Ivy and Karen battling for that part was the crux of the drama.
Yes, drama. OK, fine -- "musical drama." You know, the first one in the category in at least 43 years.Even when you slice it as dubiously as that – even when you quibble with the formal semantics of the category title – that's pretty damned shocking.

Top MLB prospect Jonathan Gray tests positive for banned stimulant
Positive test isn't expected to hurt University of Oklahoma pitcher's position in Thursday's MLB draft, major league executives say.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Jonathan Gray, the University of Oklahoma pitcher who may be selected Thursday with the first pick in the Major League Baseball draft, tested positive for the stimulant Adderall, three high-ranking major league team executives told USA Today Sports.
The executives, each directly involved in the draft, requested anonymity because test results are supposed to be private.
The top 200 draft prospects are subjected to testing under Major League Baseball guidelines, however there are no penalties since they are still amateurs.
Adderall is banned by MLB, with a 25-game suspension for a second offence, unless the player received a therapeutic use exemption.
Yet the team officials said they don't expect the positive test will hurt Gray's position in the draft since it involved a stimulant and not a steroid or human growth hormone.
Gray, 10-2 with a 1.59 ERA, and 138 strikeouts in 119 innings this season, is eligible to pitch this weekend in Oklahoma's super regional game against LSU.
"All University of Oklahoma student-athletes are subject to institutional and NCAA drug testing and are subject to corrective action relative to those policies," according to a statement released by the Oklahoma communications department. "At this time, we are able to confirm that Jonathan Gray is eligible to compete for the University of Oklahoma baseball program."
No one answered a phone call to Gray's family home in Chandler, Okla.
The Houston Astros have the first pick in the draft, followed by the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians.
A six-foot-four junior, Gray has dazzled scouts with a fastball that reaches 100 m.p.h. and a slider that leaves opposing batters swinging at air.
Gray twice has been chosen in the MLB draft, by the Kansas City Royals in the 13th round in 2010 and the New York Yankees in the 10th round in 2011. He attended junior college at Eastern Oklahoma State before going to Oklahoma, where his draft stock has soared.
"You just sit there and shake your head," said Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore after Gray blew away his team this weekend in the opening game of the NCAA tournament in Blacksburg, Va. "The kid's going to be a great professional."

I appreciate all the advice I have been given thus far for my newly purchased Erevo Mamba.
I couldn't wait for my roll cage, used it today and flipped it really hard on the body on cement. Now when I cycle the ESC at the start, the fan does not come on at all. From appearances, the fan blades seem to be in tact. This thing is a monster though. It still runs just fine, but knowing the fan is not engaging, makes me real nervous about running 6s, and pretty nervous about a 4s.
What could be wrong if esc still works fine but fan won't spin? (Only reply if you own or are very familiar with mamba esc's)
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Bing's Local Listing Center Lacks Forethought – Updated January 30th, 2013
If you don't know already it is very important to setup your local business listing on local and mainstream search engines. Well since Bing came out I thought I would go there and get StepForth's listing. So I visited the Bing Local Listing Center and tried to add my company's local listing but I ran into an annoying wall a little ways into the process that was a real let down; they didn't bother to tell me that only the USA is supported at the moment.
January 30th, 2013 Update: Great news! You can now add your Canadian business easily and free to Bing Local via Nokia.
If you are in the USA the process to get your local listing is straight forward – at least as far as I got. Just go to the Bing Local Listing Center and log in with your Microsoft Passport (or create one) and if the system does not find a current listing it will allow you to create one. Well StepForth does not have one yet according to their system so I was directed to the listing local listing creation page. When I got to the creation page and began to fill out the submission form I was rebuffed by a big pet peeve of mine… the system knew I was Canadian (it is noted in the header of the page) and yet the only way to add a listing was to enter a State and Zip (see screenshot).

Austin is believed to be the only city in the world that still operates the "moonlight tower" system of lighting that was popular in the early 1900s. Although only 17 of the original 31 remain, the 150-foot towers still provide lighting in several areas of the city.
Originally, the towers provided light via a carbon arc lamp, which was then a new technology. Over the years, the towers have gradually been upgraded. Today, all towers use 6,400-watt mercury vapor bulbs, and their lighting is fully automated.

SysteMon Notification - Beta
You can see at a glance how busy your phone/tablet is, how much free memory is available and the highest CPU using process. If you are running Jelly Bean or higher, the notification can be expanded to show a list of the top 5 CPU using processes.
The app is multi-core enabled, showing each of your cores in a different shade and the network graph autoscales on demand.
Tapping on the notification bar opens the configuration dialog that lets you start and stop the monitor, set the update interval and enable starting it on boot.
Notification priority lets you choose how high or low you want the monitor to show on your notification panel (Jelly Bean and up).
If priority is set at maximum, android will always expand the notification (if the option is enabled). If set at minimum, no panel icon will be shown.
This is a beta version that will be available on the market until the final app is released.
I plan to release both a free version and a paid one with extra features.
Once out of beta, this app will be converted to a key that will unlock the paid features, and you will be able to install it even after I pull it from the market.
Please send a crash report stating your phone and ROM if you get a force close!
Beta will be over soon! Please share with your friends so they can enjoy the full app once the beta is over.

Kind of lame game but kool knight sacrifice
Sacrifice looks strong, good game!
Thank you both!
That was fun - I have a fondness for mate delivered by a pawn.Perhaps black should have tried to make some play for the center earlier on?
I could've mated with the queen instead I think but the pawn was more fun lol :) and yeah youre right about the center
That looked very pretty. Especially Nxh8+ and the pawn checkmate. Nice. Well done !
So all these respectably rated players went through the sac, and not one noticed 8..dxe6 winning a pawn
Honestly I didn't analyze other variations, it just looked pretty to me.
I'm not that good...
mosai, please show us your personal top 10 of 100 % correct and perfect sacrifice games.
I don't know about 100% perfect games, but the majority of my sacrifices are sound.
Mine usually aren't. I think Tal admitted that a lot of his weren't, either.
Looks like a good sacrifice. I mean black has to play Kf6 instead of Ke8 and hope for the best. White should have a win there.
Okay. Good.
Please post your personal top 10 of your sound sacrifice games.
This is getting a little ridiculous.
I noticed dxe6 afterwards but who cares if it wasn't perfectly sound? Don't be such a downer mosai.
All sound sacrifices
Great now show us a game where you and your opponent make good moves, mosai.
That was an entertaining and fun game to look at mosai. Thanks for sharing !
Would you expect a mathematician to make a better chess player than an artist?
