The Buffy one was pretty good

[-] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 days ago

Once More with Feeling

It's possibly the only good example.

[-] reisub@discuss.tchncs.de 48 points 4 days ago

The Scrubs musical episode had some real bangers. It's not always cringy or bad

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 26 points 4 days ago

It's guy love, between two guuuuuuuuuuuys

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 days ago

The musical episodes in The Magicians were all bangers too.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I now fully understand the need for "/s"

[-] cm0002@piefed.world 1 points 4 days ago

It's more of a "breaks the flow of the show" kinda thing more than the songs themselves for me

[-] taldennz@lemmy.nz 13 points 4 days ago

Not when it's Buffy. It fit right in.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 4 points 4 days ago

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.

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

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

all right that was pretty much the best part of that episode

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

As hilarious and peak as it was, that shot of Sam digging it is what really kills me every time

[-] hoch@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

Same, except for It's Always Sunny

DAYMAN, ahhAHHHahhh

[-] qupada@fedia.io 18 points 4 days ago

Also Futurama, though the "musical" episodes there tend to be only a single song.

How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back is a masterpiece though.

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

[-] GreatRam@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

The Psych musical episode songs are so catchy they still randomly get stuck in my head

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

Maybe I should give them another try but I tend to skip musicals even when it comes to my favorite show, Psych

musical hate gang checking in

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Once More, With Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 6 episode 7) was the greatest episode of any show on TV ever. 😤

[-] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

literally watched it last night with some new friends in the fandom!

[-] klu9@piefed.social 8 points 3 days ago

Except American Dad!

Having people who can actually sing helps so much.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

I hate actual musicals, but generally like musical episodes of TV shows, like Scrubs and Community both have good ones.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

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

[-] oplkill@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

My Little Pony music episodes are not suck

[-] Novamdomum@fedia.io 3 points 4 days ago

Just the songs? (laughs in ADHD) 🤣

[-] Bonus@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

SNL = wannabe Hee-Haw

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago

We’d got so close to the end of Doom Patrol too.

[-] Codpiece@feddit.uk -3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Looking at you Strange New Worlds.

It’s as welcome as a stealth mission in an action video game.

[-] Newsteinleo@midwest.social 17 points 4 days ago

This is literally my favorite episode of the series. It's such a joy to watch a silly episode.

[-] jawa21@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago

I agree. SNW is easily my favorite Trek, that episode included.

[-] Codpiece@feddit.uk 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

But we have Red Dwarf and The Orville for silliness. To me it feels out of place in Star Trek.

[-] Newsteinleo@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago

So? Why can't Star Trek be a little mirthful every now and then?
