The first season of the American musical drama television series Smash premiered on February 6, 2012 on NBC and concluded on May 12, 2012, consisting of 15 episodes.
Julia Houston (Debra Messing) and Tom Levitt (Christian Borle), a Broadway writing team come up with the idea of a new musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, Bombshell. Producer Eileen Rand (Anjelica Huston), in the midst of divorce proceedings from her philandering husband, jumps on board and brings with her Derek Wills (Jack Davenport), a difficult but brilliant director. Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty) is initially cast as Marilyn, but is forced to deal with competition from the talented, yet naive ensemble member Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee). Julia's former lover Michael Swift (Will Chase) is initially cast in the role of Joe DiMaggio. However when Julia and Michael's reunion causes serious trouble in her marriage to Frank (Brian d'Arcy James), the decision is made to fire Michael. The role of Marilyn is recast with film star Rebecca Duvall (Uma Thurman), leaving Ivy devastated. After a somewhat disastrous out-of-town opening in Boston, Rebecca is felled by a peanut allergy and the actor playing Joe departs the production for a better gig. Derek casts Karen in the role of Marilyn and Michael is reinstated as Joe. Karen discovers Ivy has slept with her fiancé Dev (Raza Jaffrey), while Eileen finds out that her assistant Ellis (Jaime Cepero) was the one who poisoned Rebecca and fires him. Karen gets through her debut and the season ends with the closing number being applauded by the audience.
Pall Mall Groove is an album released by Switch, under the name of Hot Ice. After the White Heat fiasco, the band recorded this album for Bernd Lichters. It was initially released only in Germany, Bernd's home country, in 1977 through Polydor Records. It was eventually released in the US in 1979, now renamed Smash, on the MCA Records-distributed Source label. In 2007, it was released again (still titled Smash) on a limited edition CD through Bernd's own Burndsman Records. This album appeared a year before their Motown debut as Switch. Hot Ice was Gregory Williams, Jody Sims, Phillip Ingram, Bobby DeBarge, Tommy DeBarge, T.C. Brown, Stanley Brown and Arnett Hayes. The album includes a re-recording of "Funk Freak" from the previous White Heat album.

So Much 2 Say
by Take 6
from the CD: So Much 2 Say
Gotta make this quick
Gotta make it stick
Better begin
So listen up
Won't you give an ear
To hear a hip communique
So much 2 say
So little time
(And it flies when you're having fun, so)
Takin' it slow
(Only got about a minute)
Ain't aprapos
(Not too many seconds in it)
And none too spare
A consequence some are unaware of
As many through sequential and historic ages...
Hold...(...have been)...your horses
No time for excess chitter-chat mess (What?)
So much 2 say (Oh!)
So little (time)
If you can be attentive
The talk'll be preventive
--A cure for cataclysmic strife
The rule is not exemptive
But it is redemptive
--A formula for richer life
So much 2 say
So little...
Time is the indefinitely limitable durational
Within eventuality distinguished from infinity
We hath not much time...
And yet we have
So much 2 say
So much 2 say
So much 2 say...
Meaningful moments
Are far and few between
You gotta seize the meaning
(If you see what I mean)
