Paul Lee, the president of ABC Entertainment Group, described it as "Spamalot meets Princess Bride".WonderNeverOz wrote:It kinda reminded me of the princess bride.

Looks like a cross between Once Upon A Time, Xena: Warrior Princess, Spamalot ….. in the most perfect way !

Hopefully, this will be nothing like 'Once Upon a Time'!

If you mean a ratings hit, it probably won't be.Old Fish Tale wrote:Hopefully, this will be nothing like 'Once Upon a Time'!
I'm only hoping it gets Menken his EGOT and that I personally enjoy it, really.

Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"

I meant in terms of writing. And I was relieved when I saw they didn't use green screen and bad special effects here... It certainly looks more expensive than 'Once Upon a Time'.

It's not.
Clearly this show is going to result in a Katy Perry vs. Lady Gaga-esque battle of the fairy tale shows.
I don't expect the writing will be better, since it's a comedy and those usually aren't always known for in-depth characters or character arcs. It'll probably be fun though.

Source: http://www.tv.com/shows/the-goldbergs-2 ... 544370424/While there's currently no plan in place to release the music on a weekly basis, [ABC President Paul Lee] was quick to praise Galavant songwriter Alan Menken: "[He] is a genius. He's creating one new glorious song after another."
He also said Disney wants to use the music beyond the series but didn't specify how.

They could always use the songs in a similar fashion to On the Record? Or maybe they might give him another film to attach his name to, and a few of the songs here might be used there? (Possibly Enchanted 2.)

Re: Galavant (ABC TV Series to feature music by Alan Menken)
I hope there are some real gems in there. 
Re: Galavant (ABC TV Series to feature music by Alan Menken)
I kind of wish that this was airing on the Disney Channel because i see no future for it on ABC.
The show looks interesting, however, I can image the production of it being very very costly.
And I'm pretty sure that I've read that Once upon a time's ratings have been declining so I don't know if I want to invest in this show if it's future looks dreary. :/
Hopefully it can ride along the success of OUAT's Frozen thing.

This looks so much fun !
I don't think Once's ratings have been declining, have been consistently good in their timeslot (as far as I know anyway).

This show just keeps looking better and better!
Re: Galavant (ABC TV Series to feature music by Alan Menken)
THIS WILL BE AWESOME! 
Re: Galavant (ABC TV Series to feature music by Alan Menken)
That song sounds a lot like a more upbeat version of 'If I can't Love her' from the BatB Broadway musical.
