Hard to imagine anything bringing more happiness than Schmigadoon! [24 Apr - 7 May 2023, p.6]
By Matt Roush FULL REVIEW

It’s just the right length. Six, not eight or 10, half-hour episodes that breeze by quickly, all packed with fun. And even though it’s busy and filled with eye-candy and distractions, the series never loses sight of the central relationship. Strong and Key play their roles with just the right blend of absurdity and bemused observance.

The second season is even better. ... One should certainly watch season 2 of "Schmigadoon!"—and maybe watch it twice. ... The second time around, you can catch the jokes you missed the first time, while further savoring the performances, and performers.

Season 2 [is] an even more enjoyable affair with better music and a cheekily absurdist tone that makes the series just silly enough to be serious.

There are minor and major joys in this season of “Schmigadoon!,” a three-hour comedy/musical that could easily be watched in one sitting.

The emotional stakes aren’t as deep as last season for Josh and Melissa or anyone, but the writing is usually quick on its feet. “Schmigadoon!”, or “Schmicago!” as it is then branded in the opening credits, is also a return for those who made the series so charismatic.

This really is just a redo in a different era, and the story feels particularly slight in terms of serving as little more than the connective-tissue excuse for all those ripe musical parodies. A trip to “Schmicago!” isn’t bad by that measure, but to borrow from one of those aforementioned musicals, this is another case when one singular sensation, in hindsight, probably would do.
