TV show description:
This musical comedy series comes from animated musical veterans Dan Fogelman (writer), Alan Menken (composer), and Glenn Slater (lyricist). It revolves around a dashing hero who once lost the love of his life to an evil king. It’s now time for the hero to exact his revenge and restore his “happily ever after.”
Charming and handsome, Galavant (Joshua Sasse) is a gallant knight and hero so beloved that he is known by just one name. When he goes to save the love of his life, Madalena (Mallory Jansen), after she was kidnapped by the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson), she rejects Galavant.
He proclaims that all he has to offer her is his love and it seems that the demanding beauty would prefer a life of fame and fortune over love. So, she marries the King.
Since then, Galavant has gone broke, stopped bathing, and has gained weight — most likely due to his penchant for libations. Sid (Luke Youngblood) is Galavant’s trusty squire who assists the fallen hero in keeping his life in order as best he can. Adopted as a baby, Sid was left on an older couple’s doorstep.
Notorious for his evil ways, King Richard indulges in such hobbies as raising taxes and tormenting the poor. The evil king isn’t as tough as you might think however. One insult from Madalena and he bursts into tears. Gareth (Vinnie Jones) is the king’s rough and tough right-hand henchman who often has to instruct the king on how to be more manly in his ways.
Spunky Princess Isabella (Karen David) — whose full name is Princess Isabella Lucia Maria Elizabetta of Valencia — seeks out and engages the depressed Galavant in order to save her people from King Richard. She’s sent by the king to lure Galavant to him so that King Richard can kill the fallen hero in front of his former flame, Madalena.
Episode #18 — The One True King (To Unite Them All)
Under Madalena and Wormwood’s spell, the zombie army revolts against Galavant. Meanwhile, Richard goes after Wormwood. Elsewhere, Gareth tries to reason with Madalena, but she is driven to learn how to use her newly acquired dark magic.
First aired: January 31, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Galavant TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
great show keep it coming
love this show keep it coming
Thoroughly enjoyed the show. It is refreshing to see something new other than reality shows. Everyone knows in bad economic times our country has ALWAYS turned to television to make us laugh & make us forget the troubles of the day. This is one of those shows! Kudos!
Please keep the show! I am not a fan of musicals BUT I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It was funny, well acted & the musical portions were great as well. Nobody has anything worthy on the channels anymore! This is worthy. My husband & I would like to see this as a permanent type of show not just a mini-series event.
Please don’t cancel this wonderful show. It makes me smile and even laugh out very loudly! Not much on TV these day do that.
This was the best show I’ve seen in a long time. Keep the episodes coming. My brother even liked it & he hates everything but detective shows. My husband agrees with me best show to come along in what seems like forever.
This is one of the most creative shows on tv with the great music and the twist and turns in the storylines. Reminiscent of Monty Pythons Spamalot on Broadway. I hope there is a place for it in the future on the TV viewing schedule! Who knows where this imaginative story will lead?
Give us more of this wonderfully creative show!
Please renew the show. It was amazing and Sunday nights with the family for one hour was great.
I thought this was a four-week complete package, so the ending (or lack thereof) was an unwelcome surprise. Loved the show; some superb lyrics. Please let Menken and his cohorts finsish what they started.
please keep the show.. love it
Please renew Galavant….I find so much humor and wit in this show that it’s such a nice break from everything else on Sunday.
LOVE Galvant! Come on, Mel Brooks fans! It’s us on steroids! Weekly installments will be heaven! Please, Please, bring it back! (Can’t believe Richard is “Lassie” from Psyche!) Love the songs, the asides, the current references melded into the period…hysterical! Quick, witty, unexpected!
kindly renew the show, it ended on such a cliffhanger. The humor alone made it worth watching
I LOVED the show! It made me smile and laugh, and it was the one last happy thing to look forward to, before the work week started.
Please don’t take this program away! Absolutely LOVE this show!!
