 So what’s up with this show? It’s a half hour musical-comedy that will be running doubled-up (two episodes a night) for the next four weeks. Music on my television? We already had 6 seasons of Glee. Glee was an unfunny jukebox musical. Galavant has original compositions by 8-time Academy Award winning composer Alan Menken, who is responsible for the music in pretty much every Disney film you watched as a child, and Grammy winner Glenn Slater. Suffice it to say that ABC isn’t messing around. Why should I watch it Everything they've released so far indicates Omundson is going to be absolute gold as the pathetic King Richard. Plus, it'll be brimming with song and dance and who doesn't want to see that? The Players Joshua Sasse (Rogue) as Galavant  Timothy Omundson (Psych) as King Richard  Karen David (Waterloo Road) as Isabella  Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels) as Gareth  Mallory Jansen (Young and Hungry) as Madalena  Luke Youngblood (Community) as Sid

The first two episodes were pretty strong. Liking the cast and most of the songs. That joust was pretty awesome too.

It was fun. It wasn't riotously funny, but the songs weren't the worst thing ever and I like the characters.

Galavant isn't the worst thing in the world either, but it did make me wish I was watching Robin Hood: Men in Tights instead.

Wasn't much of a fan. Couldn't drum up the internal interest to continue watching past half of the joust episode. Dunno, maybe it was the lackluster music (aside from the main theme which the creators seem to be in love with) or the lame jokes... It just rubbed me the wrong way.

25 minutes in so far, and it's just not doing it for me. Maybe if I hadn't seen Into the Woods on Friday, and they stopped these thrice-damned singing commercials. What the hell is up with this pacing? They seem to be going out of their way to pull the rug out from under themselves. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Jan 5, 2015 |

I really wish that it was written as hour long episodes, rather being two 30 minute episodes jammed together. Then maybe the musical numbers could half a little extra time to breath. Still pretty fun.

I enjoyed it for what it is. Lassie is the main reason I'm watching the show, though, and that's good enough for me.

Timothy Omundson is insanely good and nails every single thing he says perfectly. Vinnie Jones also does a pretty impressive job for a guy who started his career as roles where he did nothing but stand around and look threatening. If every cameo is half as good as John Stamos this is be one of my favorite shows of 2015. The montage music was also so good I immediately wanted to buy it on iTunes. pentyne fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Jan 5, 2015 |

Maybe that's because between Men in Tights, Quest for the Holy Grail, and South Park they didn't have a single original joke. I mean really I didn't hate it and the actors are all really good but this show is derivative as gently caress.

The show had decent ratings last night, so if the numbers hold next week we should be good for a second season which I never would have expected.

The montage song concept was in both, South Park's version was two years earlier. It's not fresh but it still works.

I'm not wild about this show and it's definitely derivative but I laughed extremely hard at the joust, and I have no shame on that. Also the cast is great even if they're given subpar material.

Squeezed the life out of that loving bastard." are my favorite bits so far.

I laughed really hard at the part of the second episode where Isabella started singing about her betrayal.
