SNL = wannabe Hee-Haw
Once More, With Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 6 episode 7) was the greatest episode of any show on TV ever. 😤
literally watched it last night with some new friends in the fandom!
Except American Dad!
Having people who can actually sing helps so much.
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
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.
My Little Pony music episodes are not suck
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
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.
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
The Scrubs musical episode had some real bangers. It’s not always cringy or bad
It’s guy love, between two guuuuuuuuuuuys
The musical episodes in The Magicians were all bangers too.
I now fully understand the need for “/s”
It’s more of a “breaks the flow of the show” kinda thing more than the songs themselves for me
Not when it’s Buffy. It fit right in.
Buffy and scrubs are the only two where it was good and worked and made sense in the show. Star Trek strange new worlds has tried to follow that, with making the story make sense to have singing, but it’s just cringey.
Hail the Klingons Ohura!
all right that was pretty much the best part of that episode
As hilarious and peak as it was, that shot of Sam digging it is what really kills me every time
I was mad the whole episode except when they mentioned it was affecting the Klingons, and basically finished the episode in the hopes that they would show that.
And it more than paid off. That scene was magical.
Just the songs? (laughs in ADHD) 🤣
