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 17 hours 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.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 15 hours 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.

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!

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Buffy one was pretty good

[–] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

Once More with Feeling

It's possibly the only good example.

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

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

musical hate gang checking in

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
[–] reisub@discuss.tchncs.de 48 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 26 points 1 day ago

It's guy love, between two guuuuuuuuuuuys

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

The musical episodes in The Magicians were all bangers too.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I now fully understand the need for "/s"

[–] cm0002@piefed.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day 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.

[–] hoch@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same, except for It's Always Sunny

DAYMAN, ahhAHHHahhh

[–] qupada@fedia.io 18 points 1 day 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.

[–] Bonus@sopuli.xyz 1 points 18 hours ago

SNL = wannabe Hee-Haw

[–] oplkill@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

My Little Pony music episodes are not suck

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[–] Novamdomum@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

Just the songs? (laughs in ADHD) 🤣

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk -3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Looking at you Strange New Worlds.

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

[–] Newsteinleo@midwest.social 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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 1 day ago

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

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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 17 hours ago

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