    Like a gentler Monty Python venture, Galavant pokes, prods and pummels current events. It doesn’t get down and dirty, but it isn’t afraid to wallow every now and then. When it does so with a little song and dance, there’s enough fun to last longer than 30 minutes.

    This is a deceptively difficult form to nail; often those who try end up with little more than a collection of flatulence jokes. Done right, though, as it is in "Galavant," a mindless comedy is not the same as a dumb comedy. It’s smart, just in a carefree way.

    While it's cleverly conceived and occasionally witty, "Galavant" generally plays like a narrowly pitched come-on to theater geeks and fans of early Monty Python.

TheWith it's massive nods to Monty Python's Flying Circus this is one of the most witty and original comedies that I have seen in years. The jokes are funny, the songs are catchy, the writing is brilliant and it is perfectly cast. In the spirit of "less is more" I am OK with the fact that it has been cancelled - before it had a chance to become tedious or predictable.… Full Review »

And that second season was even funnier than the first. And I thought, this amazing show is a hit after all, hurray. And now I learn it was canceled.

    Explains why the second season finale was so neatly wrapped up. It's nice they gave us that, at least.    … Full Review »
