When heroic, charming and handsome Sir Galavant loses his true love, the beautiful Madalena, to evil King Richard's wealth and power, he falls into a deep and drunken despair. Just as our hero hits rock bottom, Princess Isabella shows up with a quest to save her kingdom, defeat the despicable King Richard, and provide an opportunity for Galavant to reclaim Madalena. Galavant is off to become a hero again and strike a blow for true love--but first, Galavant has to fit into his old hero pants.
2 Joust Friends
1/4/15
Galavant enters a jousting tournament against a boastful rival, Sir Jean Hamm (guest star John Stamos), to test his return to heroic form (and win some much-needed traveling money and a really nice rooster). But it quickly becomes clear that Galavant is a long shot to win. Meanwhile, King Richard asks Gareth to help him become a bit more macho so that Madalena won't despise him quite so much.

5 Completely Mad...Alena

As our heroic trio finally approaches Valencia, they find shelter and doo-wop among local monks who have taken a vow of singing, led by Confessional Monk (Weird Al Yankovic). Madalena, frustrated with King Richard, decides to take matters into her own hands with her own devious plot involving the besotted Chef and her winsome handmaiden, Gwynne (Sophie McShera).
6 Dungeons and Dragon Lady
1/18/15
While Galavant struggles with the realization about his true love, King Richard goes on a voyage of self-discovery, thanks to a potion from the magician, Xanax (guest star Ricky Gervais). As Galavant draws closer to the woman he really loves, an emboldened King Richard starts to assert himself, just as his meaner, elder brother returns-Kingsley (Rutger Hauer).
7 My Cousin Izzy
1/25/15
Thinking about being in a relationship, Isabella wants Galavant to try to impress her parents with attentive small talk, but he's confident that breaking everyone out of prison will impress them and save them from certain death. Galavant gets his opportunity for a hero moment when King Richard challenges his brother to a duel and needs a champion to fight for him.
8 It's All In the Executions
1/25/15
Galavant enlists King Richard in a plot to kill Kingsley before the duel but ends with a drunken whimper. Will Gareth kill King Richard in the duel? Will Galavant rescue everyone? Will Madalena find a new "boy toy?" The answers are very different from what you expect.

Not even Disney musical legend Alan Mencken can save this show from its shortcoming: a crappy libretto that TRIES to be hip and funny. I sat through the first ten minutes of this painfully self-aware tripe before I gave up. Comedy is at its best when it seems like the jokes just roll off the tongue without effort, not when everyone mugs for the camera, begging you to notice how hip & funny their line was. Want to see a good, hip Medieval/fairytale comedy (but without the music): rewatch THE PRINCESS BRIDE.

I'm not one for musicals... I dislike the singing and dancing... That being said, I was looking forward to this show but was initially disappointed that it was a musical. But score one for my laziness, I kept it on because I didn't want to change the channel, and low and behold, I started enjoying it. The comedy is in the music. If you listen to the lyrics, it's quite hilarious. Looking forward to the second episode.

After watching this show, it promptly became my favorite TV show. I love it so much, the musical aspect, comedy, characters, and the plot. It parodies tons of things and has such catchy music. I have really bad depression and PTSD and this show really makes me forget my troubles and laugh for a while. If you hate musicals or Monty Python and the Holy Grail this show is not for you.
