Instead of watching this show, I'd suggest getting an 80 year-old in poor physical shape to dress in hot pants, crop top, and FMPs and hang off you in public. It will be just about as cringe-worthy as this hot mess. From the point of view of this American born in 1969, SMASH comes across as something made by someone who THINKS he knows what it was like then (but doesn't really) and lacks the ability to actually inject humor into the attempt to spoof it. I strongly suspect that the majority of those giving it glowing reviews are from a generation or two after mine as well.
