'Smash' Canceled: NBC Drops Musical Drama After Season 2, Moved to Saturday Nights, Katharine McPhee Responds

NBC has decided to pull the plug on its musical-drama show Smash after only two seasons. After a promising first season and then a disappointed start to its second, Smash has been put through the NBC wringer in an attempt to finish out season two before a straight cancelation. Smash starred former "American Idol" contestant Katharine McPhee, Andy Mientus, Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston.

After a disappointing second season, NBC has moved the show from Tuesday nights to Saturday nights (OUCH!), where it will finish out the rest of the season. Smash star Katharine McPhee had this to say about the cancellation:

"Sure, I wish that it could have five more seasons, but we had two great seasons and all I can say is I loved every moment of it. I loved getting to the set, I loved the people, I loved my crew. We did amazing things on the show in two years.

With this business, you can never predict what people are going to like or love or hate. All I know is that when the show started and people were so excited about the pilot, I was excited to finally be a part of something that could showcase me. Everyone has perceptions about what you're capable of and what you can do and this show was a huge gift."

After the news of the cancellation broke, some of the cast members took to their respective Twitter accounts to voice their gratitude to the Smash’s fans. Here are some examples:
