ABC's Galavant

Anybody watch this tonight? It was a lot of fun.

I loved it. Quirky and fun.

Anything with Timothy Omundson as an evil king & I'm sold. I've missed him now that Psych is off the air.

He IS from Psych! That massive beard he's sporting threw me off.

I liked the first half, but I thought the second half fell flat though. When Galavant was on the road to Valencia, did the directions sign have an arrow pointing to Winterfell? I looked away and just caught a glimpse of it.

I thought the second half was stronger. John Stamos vomiting in armor, the training montage song, King Richard trying to man up....

Ha! It did! That's hilarious!

I didn't see it right away but the beard made me think of the episode with Lassie's civil war reenactment.

 

[RubyLee]

LOL! I feel like I need to rewatch it for all the things like this I missed the first go around.

I like it for what it is, something different. I don’t think it is particularly ground breaking other than being on network TV. I feel like deconstructing medieval/fantasy tropes has been done before. That’s okay I think I am going to enjoy having various people show up, be funny and chew scenery. Glad they went miniseries route vs dragging it out as a season. If Galavant and Carter are successful hopefully we will see more of this type of focused miniseries.

 

[brifraz]

We enjoyed it. Nothing amazing. The Menken songs were pretty good and the entendres multiplied up nicely. Big fans of the mini-series idea.

 

[StageFrenzy]

Lopezs > Menken though

It's funny, a lot of inappropriate overtones for younger viewers, but it'll be fun to see where it goes.

Side note, Alan Menken did the music. After his music of the past for the bigger movies, this is by far, not his best work. The show is a musical in nature, and it just doesn't cut it. Hopefully he put together some better music for the rest of this, but after week 1, I've heard better musical numbers from South Park and Family Guy.

I must be watching something different but I think it's bad. Not funny enough to be a comedy, and not enough good music to be a musical. If alan menken really did the music here color me shocked because it's so weak.

 

[MarshMellow]

Saw it too, thought it was better than expected. But what's the Winterfell reference?

Winterfell is a city in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series (Game of Thrones). It is the power of house Stark and the seat of the warden of the north.

 

[MarshMellow]

Ah! Now I feel dumb...

Before tonight's finale I did not realize this was a multi-season show. I thought it was a miniseries. I guess I'm not the only one who thought this.

 

[Matt_Black]

Me too. Hopefully it gets another season, or else they filmed a few more episodes and will show them later.

 

[RandomPrincess]

They got a 2nd season!
