What is an old show you think is great and really doesn't get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

Galavant

It's 2 seasons, bingeable in an afternoon, with a soundtrack that will have you reliving such fun memories.

The princess is captured by the evil king and the heroic knight charges off to save her. Except the princess is a bitch and stays with the king, the king is incompetent and tries way too hard to be likable, and the knight is a little past his prime.

And the whole thing is set in medieval times, and it's a musical.

It should've never gotten a second season, it was way too good to have a second season, and when they got a second season they went so hard on it.

If you're a fan of fantasy, or musical theater, or comedy, you have to check it out, because I doubt you've heard of it.

Yes exactly the kind of reply I was hoping for!! Let's get weird and obscure!

That has been a random show on my to watch list for years all because I liked the description and was really into psych at the time. You have convinced me to go for it!

If it's been on your list then it's absolutely a show you should watch! And Lassiter, I won't say he steals the show, but he is a great king.

It's so incredibly bingeable as well.

I'll try and come up with some other obscure ones, but galavant is the one I recommend to people who have seemingly seen it all.

I love Galavant! I rewatch it regularly or put it on in the background.
