When Robert Greenblatt took over as NBC Entertainment Chairman in early 2011, he inherited a tragic kingdom of shrinking viewership and devalued brands. Unable to demonstrate patience in building new programs from the ground up, a luxury of his previous post at Showtime, Greenblatt invested in projects with marquee value and high profile names attached. You may remember them better as THE PLAYBOY CLUB, PRIME SUSPECT, and THE FIRM.
To his credit, NBC’s new prime time leader swings for the fences. Greenblatt brought more than a resume with him from pay cable. He arrived to the Peacock Network with a passion project, a backstage look at Broadway, simply titled SMASH.
If this week’s premiere is any indication, SMASH is NBC’s most aspirational new program since FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, with all the ingredients necessary to attract a large mainstream audience. Armed with an exceptional cast, a unique take on the competitive world of Broadway, and a rich menu of storylines to follow, SMASH must become NBC’s signature hour of television.

With a new season of THE VOICE just starting up, we’re just getting to know the contestants who will make up Team Adam, Team Blake, Team Cee Lo, and Team Christina. And it might be a little weird, but despite the talented singers we’ve already seen, I miss the contestants we had last year already.
I caught up with season 1′s Vicci Martinez to get her thoughts on her journey on the show as part of Team Cee Lo, what she’s been up to, and what advice she has for the newest batch of singers…
