I know everyone else is excited about Pete falling down the stairs and "I love puppies" but my favorite little detail was Ginsberg's head just above Pete's shoulder in that conference room scene. http://postimg.org/image/xh…

NASCAR ran long tonight for some reason & pushed everything back.

This is all well and good and accurate but I want to know WHAT KIND OF WORLD IS THIS where Drood and Pippin exist, but Chita is eligible for a different show (and maybe Patina Miller too, I couldn't see what her Featured eligibility was) and all the new musicals are fictional but Cinderella obviously doesn't exist…

A lot of the MT stuff does bother me a lot, but rewatching, I think a lot of the ridiculousness is due to Darren's own condescension towards the art form, he throws jazz hands and a kick line in to the big emotional number that would clearly be better served by more of a park and bark staging, because that's what he…

Predictions for how the Tony Awards are going to shake out: Kyle will win Best Book as a tribute to the tragic loss of talent. Which probably means Tom and Julia will win Best Score, leaving Best Director open for Derek. Jimmy will get Best Actor because he needs to be rewarded, I guess, and we haven't seen any other…

I'm interested in a surprisingly high number of these pilots, especially this one and Browsers. I wonder how many will be taken to series?

The main reason for it having been canceled was that Glee hadn't been renewed yet, so they had no idea if they were going to even have a prize for the reality show. I'd imagine that's part of the reason that this announcement is for 2 seasons, and is coming out so early.

*Quietly stakes ground in the position that, as constantly uneven and frequently terrible as the show can be, television as a whole is better for having it on, so it's not the worst thing ever that it got renewed*

I hate Next to Normal too! I saw it the weekend after it opened, and there were a ton of celebrities in the audience and the crowd ate it up while I stewed over major dramaturgical problems that drove me up a wall, and that's not even starting to talk about the lyrics. When it won the Pulitzer I nearly threw my…

Todd mentioned Ninja Turtles Live! and so I am duty bound as a Broadway fan to post this video of amazing Broadway star Sherie Rene Scott playing April (though contrary to what Todd suggests above, I believe she's singing live) http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I still go and watch their "Brotherhood of Man" number on YouTube every now and then. Always a great pick-me-up.

I mentioned this last week, but I would love to see Evening Primrose, the James Goldman/Stephen Sondheim television musical from the old anthology series ABC's Stage 67, which is so odd and so great. Anthony Perkins and Charmain Carr!

Isn't there an Andrew Lloyd Webber joke in School of Rock where the girl starts singing "Memory" and everyone thinks its terrible?

Am I wrong in perceiving that Karen's a part of the creative team for Hit List now too, from that scene with Derek where she was working in some binder? Did that ever become official or mentioned, or is it just a thing that's happening now so Karen can win a Tony for Best Original Score and Ivy can win for Best…

Didn't they mention Alanis Morissette in the scene before? I know very little about her to know if the details matched up, but I thought I heard them drop her name.

Spoiler alert: it's not!

Off topic from the main article, but are suggestions being taken here for the "Reader's Choice" vote at the end? If so, may I humbly suggest "Evening Primrose" from ABC Stage 67, Stephen Sondheim's only television musical, now available on DVD and, I believe, streaming on Hulu? It's bonkers and kind of amazing and I…

My brain immediately went to Jane Krakowski in the last revival of Nine doing one hell of a sexy number: http://www.youtube.com/watc… (I believe she once accidentally flashed the audience doing this)

Confession: I saw Yes Man on a tour bus during a college field trip in Mexico, and I thought it was pretty damn funny. I also have not seen Milk.

I think it's everything for the year, for the most part. I based it on "Our Shows" links on all the networks websites, but I wasn't too rigorous about it.
