On ABC, a new "Galavant" fetched a 0.6 rating in the key demo.

Timothy Omundson (the evil-yet-graceful leprechaun) is now a singing (former) villain on Galavant.

"Way back in days of old / there was a legend told / about a hero known as Galavant…" So begins the tale of Galavant, a short-lived ABC TV series that ran in 2015 and (somehow) returned for an even longer second season the following year.
|
|
She and 29-year-old Sasse, a British actor starring in Galavant, had been dating since 2015.
|
|
For starters: How the hell did these actors galavant for hours on set without getting a sunburn?
|
|
Minogue, 47, and Sasse, 28, met on the set of his show Galavant when she made a guest appearance.
|
|
ABC gave the show a "miracle" renewal for a second season, and Galavant delivered one of the most satisfying sequels of the decade.
|
|
It also means that all the music is available to listen to, which you will mostly likely want to do after watching Galavant.
|
|
But though Fogelman has dabbled in sci-fi and fantasy, it was only for his (genuinely very funny) ABC sitcoms The Neighbors and Galavant.
|
|
Popularized on Star Trek in the 1960s, Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew could galavant around the galaxy all because of their ship's warp drive.
|
|
But Galavant has a trick up its sleeve — it's also a musical, a song-and-dance affair like a live-action Disney movie of old.
|
|
Has the insatiable quest of 'doing it for the 'gram lead us here, to galavant in our socks on beds that say "please don't touch"?!
|
|
Back in November, the network announced it was bringing in Galavant producer Kristin Newman to replace showrunner Bob Kushell to take the series in another direction.
|
|
No Tomorrow doesn't even know how to use the considerable charms of leading man Joshua Sasse (Galavant), which might be its most confusing element of all.
|
|
"Smash," a hate-watch about the making of a fictional Broadway musical, and "Galavant," a sword-and-sorcery comedy fantasia, were each canceled after two seasons.
|
|
One day at the farmers' market she is instantly, hilariously smitten with Xavier (Joshua Sasse of "Galavant"), a red-bearded vision in a knit cap and yogaesque clothes.
|
|
Galavant was announced as part of ABC's lineup in 2014, before being consigned to the mid-season break as filler for Once Upon a Time's Sunday night slot.
|
|
The idea of putting original music into scripted TV shows has been resurgent recently, in NBC's "Smash" in 2012 and in ABC's "Galavant" and CW's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" now.
|
|
Thanks to its very unpopular nature, Galavant is also extremely short, the kind of thing you can easily binge on a weekend when it's too cold to go outside.
|
|
Series like Glee, Galavant, and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series have all experienced the benefits of having songs ready to stream — and potentially go viral across the internet — immediately.
|
|
This bet would spectacularly fail — as Vulture recounts, both Galavant and Agent Carter swiftly returned to lose half of their already poor audiences, and Lee was soon ousted and replaced by Channing Dungey.
|
|
In this medieval musical comedy's two-episode season premiere, King Richard (Timothy Omundson) and Galavant (Joshua Sasse) turn up at the Enchanted Forest Pub in West Hollow-wood and are forced to work there.
|
|
In another show, the answer might be "not much"; once the novelty of the joke wears off, TV series built around a single parody concept (think Galavant) often have little substance beneath their experiments.
|
|
But she's also my source for divinely insane things like the under-rated, underwatched ABC series Galavant, a gleefully ridiculous fantasy series I'd never heard of, but which is about to launch its second season.
|
|
Bad News Bears also sexualizes Morris Buttermaker in a way that absolutely no one asked for, turning him into a Hooters-lovin' galavant with a harem of buxom glorified extras waiting around to cheer him on.
|
|
A cancellation was all but guaranteed — except that Galavant was a favorite of then-ABC president Paul Lee, who ordered a second season against all odds (and against all common sense, if we're being totally honest).
|
|
It's easy to imagine a world where Galavant was released as a streaming exclusive on something like Disney+ or Netflix, where its niche appeal could better shine outside of the harsh landscape of traditional network television.
|
|
Agent Carter, Castle, CSI: Cyber, Crowded, The Family, Galavant, Game of Silence, The Grinder, Heartbeat, The Muppets, The Mysteries of Laura, Nashville, Telenovela, Undateable, Rush Hour, Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life, and Limitless have been canceled.
|
|
Lee's ideas (and Galavant) might have just been a little ahead of its time; today's streaming era puts a far bigger emphasis on word-of-mouth success and cultural mindshare than it does hard numbers about who's watching.
|
|
Maybe it's always destined to be a doomed concept — "Smash" lasted only two seasons, and neither current show is a ratings hit — but "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" is delightful, as was the recently canceled "Galavant," and "Smash" certainly had its devotees.
|
|
But as we galavant into 2018, we're setting our sights on some new tunes: Drake's alleged new project, an album from Nicki Minaj, a February 2 drop from Justin Timberlake, new music from country crooner Sam Hunt, and a rumored Frank Ocean album.
|
|
At the end of the meal (the broker paid) I am slightly tipsy, ready to enjoy the shining sun and galavant around Paris as a girl who proudly owns a small piece of it (even if it is a subway ride away).
|
|
The year came off the heels of the not-unprecedented billion-dollar Hamilton phenomenon (how quickly did we all forget about Wicked?) and the steady return of the musical format on television (Glee, then Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Galavant, American Horror Story, and The Get Down).
|
|
The show starts by setting up a classic fairy-tale story in its impossibly earworm-y opening number — Galavant is a gallant knight, riding to save his beloved Madalena from the clutches wicked King Richard — and then promptly blows the entire premise to bits.
|
|
Madalena rules as queen in Valencia; Isabella and Galavant connect through a crystal ball; and, as usual, characters belt out songs by the composer Alan Menken ("The Little Mermaid" and "Little Shop of Horrors") and the lyricist Glenn Slater ("Tangled" and "School of Rock the Musical").
|
|
The show is based on a popular book series that later inspired a hit fantasy video game series, so it's got a distinctive, game-influenced aesthetic — but it's also channeling everything from the epic feel of Game of Thrones to the tongue-in-cheek musical parody Galavant.
|
|
To say that almost no one watched the first season of the show is an understatement — it was one of ABC's worst shows that year — and despite a cliffhanger ending, it seemed like Galavant was doomed to be nothing more than an easily missed blip on ABC's schedule.
|
|
The first episode, titled "A New Season ... aka Suck It Cancellation Bear" (a reference to TV By The Numbers' Renew / Cancel column) starts with a song that sees the cast literally crowing about dodging the axe and features a shameless appeal to viewers to watch Galavant instead of football, the Golden Globes, or The Bachelorette.
