Surprise: "Smash"
Yes, the category has "Musical" in the title. That's a holdover from a bygone age; it's not a mandate, and it's not going to convince us that "Smash" is better than "Parks and Recreation," "Community," or "Happy Endings." (Then again, "The Big Bang Theory" got one of those past-masters nominations we mentioned earlier, so who knows what the HFPA was thinking.)
