Galavant: Pilot and Just Friends

This show is hilarious and just odd. Galavant (Joshua Sasse) is a hero devastated over losing his love, Madelena (Mallory Jansen) to the nasty and childish King Richard (Timothy Omundson). He has abandoned his hero ways until Princess Isabella (Karen David) convinces him to battle against Richard for the sake of her kingdom. But she is double crossing him. The plot isn't important. The comedy is what drives the show. A song starts off the second episode and, by the end, Galavant is out of shape and declares that that was a very long song. Even better is the joust between Galavant and Jean Hamm (John Stamos) which is painful and hilarious as both are in such pain and agony that they are moving at a snail's pace and the joust is just pathetic.
Sure, it isn't much of a show, extremely thin on plot but heavy on songs, even some great dancing and jokes. The acting isn't bad and the sets aren't bad. I will continue to watch this show as it is just a limited series and if you like odd comedies, I would definitely give this one a try. Grade: B+
