Charism Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So... 8 episodes long, 21 minutes each, divided in four parts, aired in between 11th and 12th episodes of Once upon a Times' fourth season. What do you think about it? Do we have any numbers about how many people watch it? In my personal opinion...is the best thing in TV since True Detective. Really, it's that good. Just watch the opening song. And by opening I mean not just some intro, but this is first sequence of whole series. Or just a trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HebCU8X34JE Music is superb, songs are awesome (Alan Menken!), acting, done by mostly not well know names (just for not saying: 'no-names') is really good, technically it's looking very nice, and I don't see any flaws really. Huh. I want more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I saw the premiere and enjoyed it; probably won't be able to watch it all until it hits Netflix later this year though :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulder42 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've only seen the first episode, but I loved it. It doesn't take itself too seriously, so it works for me. Timothy Omundson is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 So apparently this is pretty good. Has anyone kept up with the whole season so far? I am curious if it is worth catching up or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've watched the whole season and loved it. It's upper-tier television, for me. The season ending was pretty damn daring, so I hope they get a second season to do more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious if it is worth catching up or not? Yes. Even if it gets canceled, all the episodes are pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulder42 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) GALAVANTSunday, Jan. 3/Season Premiere, 8pm ET/7pm CT, ABC For ABC's lavish musical comedy Galavant, getting a second season is truly something to sing about. "We joked that we didn't have a chance," says executive producer Kat Likkel of the ratings-challenged fairy tale, which features original tunes from lyricist Glenn Slater and Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken. "But we knew in our hearts that it's a fantastic show." Fittingly, the premiere is titled "A New Season, aka Suck It, Cancellation Bear"--and there's plenty of ground to cover. To refresh: Noble-ish knight Galavant (Joshua Sasse) had been tasked with returning King Richard (Timothy Omundson) to the safety of his original kingdom. Meanwhile, in Valencia, Madalena (Mallory Jansen) had seized the throne and was ruling alongside ex-henchman Gareth (Vinnie Jones). And Gal's unlucky soulmate, Princess Isabella (Karen David), was being held captive in yet another kingdom by her 11-year-old cousin-slash-fiancé. The action resumes with a giant production number. "It sets up the whole season," Likkel says, "which includes the possibility of an eventual battle between three huge armies." But first, everyone must contend with some new realities--like the re-booted dynamic between former archrivals Richard and Galavant. "Galavant's goal is to drop Richard off and then rescue Isabella, but there are obstacles," Likkel syas. "It becomes a buddy comedy. We're taking all of our characters and shaking them up." Clearly, this opportunity to keep the party going won't be squandered. "We've been inspired to go much bigger," Likkel says. "We shot the final episodes in Morocco! It's like a comedy Lawrence of Arabia. --Ingela Ratledge , TV GUIDE magazine http://abc.go.com/shows/galavant XXXXXXXXXXXXX Season 2 Premiere episodes, 1/03/2016 Spoiler The Musical Comedy Extravanganza Galavant Returns January 3 On ABC With Back-To-Back Episodes SEASON 2 PREMIERE HUZZAH!!!

Kalderic Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The season started out pretty strong! I love how catchy the songs are. Makes me wish Menken would get back to Disney again at some point soon. I do enjoy the more mature style of writing in the show though. The songs arent afraid to get dirty!
