I was messing around on Hulu, trying to find a new show for some mindless alone time, when I decided to try out Smash. Let's face it...I'm a sucker for good music, and there's some really great songs on there. And it's about musicians trying to make it on the great Broadway. Who doesn't like a Cinderella story?
But there's also a lot of cheating. I know, because I read Wikipedia, which has to be factual, right? ;) (I mean, it's part of the character definitions--who cheated on whom and with whom. Not sure I'm using whom right there, but you get my drift.)
Why? Why does cheating have to be such a predominate theme in pop culture? Why do shows, movies and books have to make it such a seemingly normal thing? Is it just because it's forbidden and therefore exciting? It's also demoralizing and crazy-destructive. I can't rationalize enjoying or supporting something that makes cheating so accessible--I can't have it in my head at all.
So, take a hike Smash. It could have been beautiful, especially with the adoption story line potential.
Anyway, I don't do cheating unless we're talking diets. Then you can consider me Hollywood! (Hmm...I'm having a huge and sudden craving for bacon...)
