Galavent was ahead of the times in 2015. Great diverse cast, chosen bc they all fit their characters,& most possess Broadway quality singing & theatre talent. The subtle & witty comedy plus charisma between the leads became a winning combo. Ones must see or read enough English history & fables to fully appreciate this. The songs are funny, catchy, & its for all ages absent any gratuitous sex, blood or violence. The writers all researched English history & mixed in a bit of modern touches for unique humor.
Sadly, so many need Simpsons in your face crude jokes that kill brain cells. Gone are well written satires about heroic legends, or any subject.
Gavalant satired the entire Camelot fable in every way. King neither evil, he just wanted to be a special king, & needed to gain power. During medieval times, this usually means war, & he needed fire power- like a dragon. Instead, he tried being sneaky since he lacked large army for his ambitions. Supporting cast is terrific too.
Why this series was cancelled when Glee & GOT got 8 seasons is beyond me. It's too much to expect networks to produce well casted, clever well written series & songs that's light hearted, not overtly in your face slap stick , ie., Beavis & Butthead; Dumb & Dumber fart, burp, toilet etc. Nonsense. Here, viewers are entertained with their brains turned on lightly, instead of repeating brain cells deaths, while watching some predictable cartoonish cookie cutter show. THIS unique show will never be made again due to extreme political agendas since 2019.
2023 Update: Ironically this fits 2022 political "woke" climate in most charming way. Pioneers' always suffer from being ahead of their time period. Hulu streams this without ads. It's still fresh & funny although I remember it well.
