Schmigadoon!

I'm here for keagen but it's pretty good I can't lie I was expecting to hate it.

2 episodes watched so far.

Good pace, good jokes, good songs (most of them) and a "universe" that feels like it will be able to very well keep giving for a whole good season.

Not sure people who don't like musicals will find enough otherwise to keep them watching.

Lucky enough, you can just watch the first 10 minutes to find out.

I'll keep watching!

The intelligence of this show is encased in the fact that it's unmistakably a musical with song and dance, and yet is also a parody of musicals. There may be a dark side that emerges only at the end of the first episode, but until that develops, it's a story filled with amusing ironies. Two of the songs in the first episode are clearly meant to resonate Rogers and Hammerstein musicals. The opening song is a riff on Oklahoma and another a riff on Carousel. But they are at one and the same time well-written and well-rehearsed numbers, and yet are funny because of their self-conscious acknowledgment that they are musicals. Hard to explain, perhaps, but you'll see what I mean when you watch. Parts are laugh out loud funny.

A fictional comedy about a couple that is accidentally swept into a town where life is a musical & some of these reviews say "Silly" & "nonsensical", which any comedy with that description 100% should be!!!

Was I a theater kid? Yes! And this show was just the kind of funloving meta musical sitcom my little musical soul needed. It's filled to the brim with great actors (and great singers), the songs are beautifully written and the story is different but still recognizable. If you don't like musicals, this probably isn't for you...But if you do, than OMG this is sooooo good... It does border on parodying the musical greats rather than pay homage, but I honestly don't mind.
