    "You shouldn't watch 'Galavant ' for Galavant. You should watch 'Galavant' for King Richard." SPITTING FACTS.

    Here's the REAL question: When was the last time you watched something that made you feel GOOD at the end?
    For the last 20 years everything on TV or in theaters has been dark and gritty and full of so much angst it feels like a middle school exploded all over hollywood. Every. Single. Thing. that studios are making will leave you feeling depressed and moody - or worse, depressed and moody are the best you can hope for.
    Galavant will just make you happy. Every episode will leave you feeling excited and warm and full of joy joy feelings. Nobody else can say that.

    When Galavant was on Netflix, I gave it a shot... One of the best decisions I've ever made! Holy crap, I love this series! Once it left Netflix, I bought Galavant on DVD. I suggest it to all my friends and fellow lovers of the Renaissance festival.

      Please, please tell them to stream it on Hulu OFTEN. (It's not on Netflix any more, and DVDs are now impossible to buy.) The show is on Hulu because Disney owns Hulu and Disney made "Galavant," but if it's not streamed on Hulu, it might vanish entirely. It was missing from all streaming for almost two years after Disney pulled it off Netflix and before Disney dumped it onto Hulu. We need to all stream it a lot, so Disney sees there is an audience for it and KEEPS it on Hulu.
      Other streaming services are entirely removing whole series lately and I fear the same could happen to "Galavant."

    I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when the show was announced. As soon as all the episodes came out, I checked it out online, or Netflix. After the first episode, I FELL IN LOVE. It’s funny, it’s entertaining, it’s got great acting, and it’s got a great story too! Plus, the songs are so damn catchy! And everybody does a great job of singing! And I like the main trio, but I also love Richard too! First time finding out he had a cook’s father executed his response is shock and “I’m such a bully!”. Lmfao 🤣 and as it goes on you can’t help but enjoy Richard, and his character development too! Even though I wish they could’ve had a third and final season, I Am so glad they gave the show a good ending (definitely better than game of thrones’ ending).

    I thought you might be interested to know (and sorry if you know already) -- Timothy Omundson is perfect as Richard, yet the network didn't want him for the role. The creator, Dan Fogelman, did want him to play Richard, but network Powers That Be seemed desperate to get a bigger, and British, name for the role; I suspect that Disney/ABC was nervous about this strange little medieval musical, and wanted the insurance of having some well-known British star they could tout in advertising. Omundson had to audition repeatedly, then wait for five months while the network offered the role to at least two British actors (never named)--and he was well aware that this was going on. Thank goodness, no one bit. Omundson nearly chucked in the whole thing after all this auditioning and waiting, but wanted the role so much he hung on. Finally, Fogelman got his wise way, and Omundson got the part. He's called it the greatest role he's ever had, which is saying something, considering his long, varied career up to that point. The idea of anyone else as Richard...well, it's just, as the British would say, "not on"!

      To add on slightly to that, I got to meet him at a con and said how much I loved him in it. He replied, "It was a role of a lifetime." Unfortunately, in the time since Galavant, he suffered a stroke and has reduced mobility in his extremities and his eyesight has suffered too. That said, he has done extensive speech therapy and sounds like himself from years past. Wonderful man and I'm glad to have met him.

    I'm okay with it only having gotten 2 seasons, but I would like a reunion where they're trying to stop Madelana &/or save her from herself. Galavant & Isabella load up their 3-7 children on a family road trip quest (making all of the VonTrapp jokes). Tad Cooper is only ever a a shadow overhead, occasional fire, & sound effects, just really lean into the budget constraints. This would also be Sid's time to shine as the hero of the piece.

    I always really liked medieval shows like Merlin, and I’ve always been really into Disney. So of course when I was younger and this show comes out that has THE Alan Menken writing its songs, I had to watch it. I watched one episode with my parents and then never got to see another episode because this was when Netflix was still dvds. Years later, I was in highschool and we’d had the streaming Netflix for a while, a familiar show pops up: Galavant. I watched both seasons in three days. I’ve had a playlist of all the songs, created a love for the show in all my siblings as well, and purchased the dvds so I’ll never be without. I will forever sleep well knowing that I’m one of the lucky few who knows this exists.

    Just found your video--Thank you! "Galavant" is a treasure and I always tell folks to be sure to stream it often on Hulu, or we might risk seeing it removed if it doesn't get enough viewership. DVDs are now impossible to buy. It disappeared from all streaming for almost two years (between leaving Netflix and finally being dropped onto Hulu by Disney, which never knew what to do with this show). Galavanters need to watch it plenty and tell Hulu and Disney that this gem mustn't ever disappear!

    I loved this show so much I started working on a proposal for season 3 where the Fashion Consultant would have been played by Ewan McGregor and his evil plot was to replace Galavant with himself and all the other characters with AAA celebrity equivalents. Sid would've been replaced by Donald Glover, Isabella would've been replaced by Naomi Scott (lots of meta humor available here since they both played Jasmine), Gareth would've been replaced by Ray Winstone, and Richard would've been replaced by Hugh Jackman. Everything is going well for the villains until Madalena finds out she's going to be replaced by Idina Menzel. Then she decides to team up with the original heroes to keep their jobs.
