The Buffy one was pretty good
I fast-forward through the songs...

Once More with Feeling
It’s possibly the only good example.

I still can sing at least two songs of that episode by heart. I made the teens of the family watch it too and we’ve agreed that LET ME REST IN PEACE is the best song^^

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

Yeah see that worked cause it was the gang throwing a musical, but actual musical episodes like the gang turning black, those I dislike.

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?
gmtom@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I hate actual musicals, but generally like musical episodes of TV shows, like Scrubs and Community both have good ones.

Looking at you Strange New Worlds.

This is literally my favorite episode of the series. It’s such a joy to watch a silly episode.
jawa21@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
I agree. SNW is easily my favorite Trek, that episode included.
Codpiece@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
But we have Red Dwarf and The Orville for silliness. It feels out of place in Star Trek.

Once More, With Feeling was the greatest episode of any show on TV ever. 😤
JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
literally watched it last night with some new friends in the fandom!

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.

But main Street’s still all cracked and broken, sorry Mom the mob has spoken, monorail!

If any show you’re watching can include a musical episode, it’s not a show, it’s a toddler’s cartoon episode.

Musical inserts bring second hand embarrassment otherwise known as cringe.
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Xena had a musical episode? 🤔
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
We’d got so close to the end of Doom Patrol too.

The Scrubs musical episode had some real bangers. It’s not always cringy or bad
cm0002@piefed.world 3 weeks ago
It's more of a "breaks the flow of the show" kinda thing more than the songs themselves for me
taldennz@lemmy.nz 3 weeks ago
Not when it’s Buffy. It fit right in.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I now fully understand the need for “/s”
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
The musical episodes in The Magicians were all bangers too.
