Galavant is perhaps most watchable thanks to the fact that there isn't anything like it on TV right now, and likely never will be replicated. Beyond that, it's silly but fun--rare enough in this world. Read full review

Written by Dan Fogelman, Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, the new musical miniseries on ABC has so many clever bits and witty songs you’ll think someone wrote a sequel to “Spamalot.” Read full review

The music is effective without being especially memorable. You may not leave your living room humming any of it, but you’ll still be chuckling over some of the jokes in the lyrics, many centered on puns, childish humor and groan-inducing obviousness. Read full review

This is, without question, the oddest show to arrive on television in quite some time. ... [But] unlike the best musicals and fairy tales, it never once transports you to a land far, far away. Read full review

The series does try to develop its characters, but Galavant never quite finds a way to ideally pull together its gonzo comedic spirit and musical aspirations. Read full review

Galavant feels like a slapped-together production that will only confirm the suspicions of heathen TV-watchers who think most musicals consist of flimsy stories padded out with tunes that repeat the plot developments. Read full review

I am so glad they are doing Season 2. This show is a breather from every other show that's on TV right now. Great cast, the writing is witty and the songs are catchy!

Galavant is so refreshing and needed in the sea of dumb TV Series already being aired. Characters are witty, sometimes very sarcastic but we like it that way. Not to mention quite original songs as way of expression. I hope to see several more seasons.

I'm not a huge fan of musicals in general, but Galavant has many puns, silly gags, and funny jokes to keep me coming back. It's one of the most original shows out there. I hope it finds an audience because it makes me giggle. Simply a very amusing program!

Galavant was pretty great. It wasn't the best show ever, nor the most original, it's characters and plot were deliberate parodies of classic fantasy themes. But what really made it were the songs.

Sure, most of them were not necessarily great either, but I gotta give them points for trying and doing what no one else is doing. Bringing song to mainstream TV was and still is an amazing idea, and I sincerely hope we see more of this show or more shows like it.… Expand

I'm sure this show could be really good for some people but I just found myself not enjoying it very much. I'm giving it a 5 because even though I didn't like it that much there are other reasons that make it deserve a mixed rating.

This is, without a doubt, the worst piece of garbage since "Cop Rock". I am truly astonished at how mind numbingly awful this show is.

The music is poorly written, the vocals are sub par and trite, and the "acting" is worse than an average kindergarten performance. I rarely ever seen a show in which I could not even get through 2 full episodes. I had to force myself to watch this abortion just to convince myself that a network actually had the gall to put this on TV for public consumption. I am considering avoiding the entire lineup on ABC, if the network thinks so little of the viewers than I do not think I can stomach watching anything else that they are willing to show. Avoid this "program" at all costs, even if it means watching reruns of "Cop Rock" for the rest of your lives.… Expand
