ciarra1525 *** Some Spoilers - Warning!***Galavant was brought to my attention by a good friend, whose analytic nature usually dissects films to a level I've rarely seen in the media. So, when he said I had to see this, I trusted him. I'm so glad I did!But what troubles me, in all these reviews is that all of them have missed the parodies, not only of musicals/films in general, but specific ones, too, that are hard to miss, if you've seen the ones they parody:Grease (King Richard and Roberta)Les Miserables (Sid)Cats (Gareth)Rent (Princess Jubilie)West Side Story (Giants/Dwarves fight)Young Frankenstein, etc. (death scene)And more...What I loved most about them is the ludicrous volume of high end talent that fill out every corner of this show. And you can tell each actor had wicked fun with their characters, to my utter delight. They played off each other so beautifully, it was absolutely delicious.Yes, yes, Timothy Omundson seriously outdid himself at King Richard. Without question, a favorite character. And Mallory Jensen was devilishly delightful as Madelena. Karen David as Isabella is a wonderful counter to Madelena. All of the cast has a shockingly large skill at singing the most ridiculous songs, while maintaining character, and the banter is irresistible. Pure magic.Mocking modern inventions (like zippers), and reminding us all that our point of view (from a modern age) makes our understanding of history quite skewed, but also makes all the medieval understanding of the world the backdrop for most of the jokes that make us laugh the loudest. This understated, but clear broadside to our modern way of life and our place in the world, makes this series not only brilliant, but an instant classic I shall treasure forever.Thank you, thank you, thank you! Rare it is when you gather such enormous talent and pull off such a brilliant, and better yet, ORIGINAL show. This one is spot on!

L_Avery Brown While billed as a comedic music series, at its core, Galavant (Season 1 & Season 2) has a compelling story which drives the show. Of course, with music being a key part of the series, it's a good thing the musical numbers are spot on hilarious. The story and the music are written in such a way that little ones won't get the adult references (and there are many) but they'll laugh and hum along. Whereas adults can laugh out loud at the innuendo and double entendres sprinkled throughout the series like sugar as wells as some flat out blanket statements that will go over the heads of little ones like a 747.A musical is only as good as the vocals are strong. And the vocals in Galavant are unexpectedly well-done. Joshua Sasse (Galavant), Timothy Omundson (King Richard), Mallory Jansen (Queen Madalena), Karen David (Princess Isabella) and Luke Youngblood (Sid) are all quite talented. Perhaps we'll see more of them in not-quite-so-silly musicals considering the current trend of producing live musicals for television.Of course, not every actor has golden pipes. In fact, the gravelly voice of Gareth, played by former footballer Vinnie Jones, isn't quite as ear-appealing as his co-stars but he gives it his all which makes it worth having a listen. The list of guest stars, some of whom have brief cameos while others have decidedly longer roles, is impressive. And the way they embraced the utter madness of the story and the songs reminds us that actors like to let their hair down and just be silly.Galavant was so screwball in Season 1 not even the cast or crew thought they'd get a Season 2 which is why the series closes with a grandiose song contemplating the fate of characters if there is no Season 2. So when Season 2 did make its way to the small screen, there was a hilarious opening song called 'A New Season'... and then the madness started anew. And damn if the main refrain of the series doesn't get stuck in your head for hours!

alaindemol There was a time where TV was pure, innocent fun, this faded away.When I first read about Galavant, I was skeptical. A musical show??? I told myself this can not work. Oh boy, was I wrong... I got hooked, it's simple, pure fun. It's refreshing in this day and age. A show you can watch with the whole family and friends. You can not help but laugh and enjoy the songs.Today I learned about ABC's decision of canceling the show. A shame, this show deserves more. It has all the ingredients a comedy needs.Hope ABC will reconsider and bring it back for more Seasons !!!Time to join the online petitions.

equinngibney What an incredible show! A very witty, cheesy comedy. If you're a fan of Alan Menken's music (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act, Little Mermaid, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Newsies, Hercules, Enchanted), then you'll love the clever score. The cast is all fantastically funny. A very feel-good comedy where you root for everyone, even the villains. Self-referential and 4th wall-breaking, if that's your thing. Short enough to finish in two weeks or so, but you'll wish there was more! Just a 20-minute shot of lightness and happiness. Hoping for another network to pick it up for a third season, but if it doesn't happen, they wrapped it up satisfactorily enough that you feel like you've watched a complete story and won't be left wanting more when you finish.
