The thing that bugged me the most about this show...


were all the framed photos on their grand piano. Any piano player would want to prop open that lid to get a richer, clearer sound. But not so easy to do with all that clutter on top. And if you get to playing some forceful pieces, those stupid frames are going to rattle or collapse.

Poetic license.

Who in that family played piano? They probably sucked and didn’t need to ever use the concert setting.

Kate plays the PIANO.

In S2 she goes back to college again to complete her MUSIC DEGREE.

And JAMES WOODS is the guy who AUDITIONS her and tells her she plays lousy.

So in the middle of the night she POUNDS on the PIANO some classical piece of music because she's pissed about what he said to her (as her hubby puts a pillow over his head to block out the sound of her pounding on the Piano keys).

That would also be the time when those PHOTOS should have fallen down.

People forget that pianos are musical instruments, not pieces of furniture for piling stuff on.
