Once More, With Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 6 episode 7) was the greatest episode of any show on TV ever. 😤
Except American Dad!
Having people who can actually sing helps so much.
They have such insanely good music taste on that show. It’s always stuff you’d never think to use, too, but it fits every time.
My Little Pony music episodes are not suck
But main Street’s still all cracked and broken, sorry Mom the mob has spoken, monorail!
I hate actual musicals, but generally like musical episodes of TV shows, like Scrubs and Community both have good ones.
Futurama had a couple bangers both Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back and, of course, The Devils Hands Are Idle Playthings
Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon
The woman that I idolize, or the hands of an automaton
Without these hands I can’t complete the opera that was captivating her
But if I keep them, and she marries him, he probably won’t want me dating her
The Psych musical episode songs are so catchy they still randomly get stuck in my head
Maybe I should give them another try but I tend to skip musicals even when it comes to my favorite show, Psych
The nuts?
musical hate gang checking in
Just the songs? (laughs in ADHD) 🤣
Looking at you Strange New Worlds.
It’s as welcome as a stealth mission in an action video game.
This is literally my favorite episode of the series. It’s such a joy to watch a silly episode.
But we have Red Dwarf and The Orville for silliness. To me it feels out of place in Star Trek.
So? Why can’t Star Trek be a little mirthful every now and then?
I agree. SNW is easily my favorite Trek, that episode included.
If any show you’re watching can include a musical episode, it’s not a show, it’s a toddler’s cartoon episode.
A lot of mainstream television shows had a random musical episode. It was a complete tone shift, out of place and usually complete cringe.
Looking up a random list, some affected shows that are definitely not cartoons for toddlers;
- Lucifer
- Greg’s Anatomy
- Fringe
- Supernatural
- The Flash
- Once upon a Time
- Xena: Warrior Princess
Xena had a musical episode? 🤔
Greg :)
Greg :)
I’m sorry you think joy is for kids alone
Musical inserts bring second hand embarrassment otherwise known as cringe.
otherwise known as cringe.
And we’ve found the actual child!
Don’t worry bud, you’ll grow into yourself some day and stop judging everything based on if you think you’ll look cool doing it.
Actually the whole behaviour you’re describing right there - of being embarrassed by an episode of a TV show - is cringe
Embrace cringe. Let it set you free.
The Buffy one was pretty good
Once More with Feeling
It’s possibly the only good example.
Same, except for It’s Always Sunny
DAYMAN, ahhAHHHahhh
Yeah see that worked cause it was the gang throwing a musical, but actual musical episodes like the gang turning black, those I dislike.
Also Futurama, though the “musical” episodes there tend to be only a single song.
How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back is a masterpiece though.
We’d got so close to the end of Doom Patrol too.
speak for yourself
Same, they’re often some of my favorite episodes, not just because I like musicals.
- Writing one often requires much more planning and effort
- Seeing how they creatively shoehorned the reason for it being a musical episode is always fun (e.g. Scrubs, Star Trek Discovery)
- Some certified bangers
