SMASH
April 27, 2013  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
This show still is worth watching, without question, but NBC isn’t making it easy. First it banishes the show to Saturday nights – and tonight, in a subplot involving promotion for the now-opened Broadway show Bombshell, it has Kathie Lee Gifford, playing herself, donning a Marilyn Monroe wig and bringing along the Today camera crew for a feature on the musical. That’s a mega-meta plot line: a show within a show about a show within a show. But somehow, by adding Today, this Smash show may not get to be around for too many more tomorrows.
