David T. Cole May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 TV Guide sez: Handsome Prince Galavant (Joshua Sasse) is on a quest for revenge against the king (Psych's Timothy Omundson) who stole his one true love (Mallory Jansen) in this fairy-tale musical. Dan Fogelman will write and executive-produce with Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken writing the music. Vinnie Jones, Karen David and Luke Youngblood will also star. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7387-galavant-anticipation/

aradia22 May 24, 2014 Share May 24, 2014 I. LOVE. THIS. OK, yeah, I've basically signed up for anything with even a little bit of singing in recent memory from Pushing Daisies to Glee to Smash to Nashville. And I have been burned on all counts. But they've also brought me so much joy. I am in. I am in. I am in. I hope they found a good lyricist for Menken. I love that man but with the wrong lyricist everything goes to hell and all you've got is pretty scoring and I doubt he'll do much scoring for the show. And yes, I'm totally talking about Tangled. First, it's got Lassie from Psych. Second, it seems like Princess Bride meets Spamalot. Third, why do you need a third thing? Yes, I am not sold on whether everyone in the cast can sing. Yes, I am wary of whether they really have a plot. Yes, it seems a little too goofy, like the Psych musical stretched out to an entire series without the wit of Spamalot backing it up. But as we've reviewed, I'm basically going to support anything musical so here we go. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7387-galavant-anticipation/#findComment-86753

aradia22 June 2, 2014 Share June 2, 2014 I wouldn't put it past the OUAT writers. That's one of my other big problems with the show. You don't own everything. Frankenstein, Oz, really? I mean, I know they just did that Great and Powerful Oz movie but come on. It's really starting to come off like bad fanfiction. I swear, they're just itching to throw in Marvel and Star Wars. To bring it back to Galavant, I hope they're more focused than OUAT. There's a lot of material to mine with just a vague medieval theme. Keep it fun and light, especially if you don't really know how to write drama and complex plots. It'll just seem convoluted. The best case scenario would be if they had a set plan and were able to get in and out in maybe 2 or 3 seasons but I haven't heard anything about this being a miniseries or anything like that. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7387-galavant-anticipation/#findComment-98966

Kromm June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 So apparently it's a half-hour (in other words 22 min) show. In a way that's pretty smart--in and out quickly is best with this kind of humor. At only 8 episodes, it's going to burn through pretty quickly too--especially if it's the ONLY fill-in for OUAT (which might mean doubled up episodes). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7387-galavant-anticipation/#findComment-142341
aradia22 June 20, 2014 Share June 20, 2014 Do we have confirmation on whether it's operatic (all sung) or just mostly sung?
