I was really excited about this show, but I've been watching for a half hour and I haven't laughed once. The humor is immature and lacks substance, the characters are poorly acted, and the songs are underwhelming. I'll watch the rest of the episode, but I doubt I'll continue watching.
Anybody else want to chime their opinion? I'd like to hear what you think.
It's lacking something!
shareAgreed. It's lacking a lack of singing. Musicals died out for a reason. It's time to stop trying to dig them up.
shareThey didnt die out, goofball. You can choose to ignore them though.
shareMusicals died out for a reason. It's time to stop trying to dig them up.
Have you tried booking tickets for the latest new musicals?! Hardly see them dying out with shows like Book of Mormon, Matilda, Wicked, Hamilton selling out day in and day out!
It's hot... but not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married...
I agree. It's awful. I was so excited to watch this with the family but it's just a string of bad sex jokes. Too bad.
shareNobody cares about your awful family. Your prudishness has nothing to do with the quality of this show. Stop trying to sanatize things for your own idiot mores. If you want to shelter your children, you do that. Just leave the rest of us alone. You Parents Television Council people are just whiny losers.
shareHow weird. I got a notification that there was a response to my post. There doesn't seem to be any.
shareThat's fine, everyone else can see it
shareWeird, just a post with no content again. Funny.
shareFor complaining so much about sex jokes you sure are being a bit of a douche.
shareExactly what does a douche have to do with sex? Someone needs to go back to sex ed class! Take notes during Galavant.
shareWas that an intentional joke? Because a douche is used to clean vaginas. And it's not that it relates to sex, it's that you're complaining about how sex talk ruins a show, and being a snarky a-hole
shareActually douche is French for bath. Just washing in general. It's Americans who have sexualized it, probably because more than any other people on Earth Americans are both fascinated by and terrified of sex. It's why they love huge rockets and guns and hate displays of affection.

"mores'? Morals? Actually the level of jokes does have to do with the quality of the show.Have you ever heard of the terms High comedy and Low comedy? The highest form of comedy is satire, the lowest form of comedy is sex and bodily function based comedy, just above it is farce/slapstick, and so on and so forth. The worst thing you can do is run an entire show off of low comedy. You have to have smart intelligent jokes that drive the plot, while having lower comedy along the way.But as with all comedy its a personal preference. Comedy is the most personal of all the theatrical forms because it works on offending. If it touches something you actually have an opinion on, it can ruin the entire thing.
shareoH no it's not a family show! Help us all!
Obviously this is for a younger audience, and I love it.
I agree. The music is terrible. The acting limp. Not funny at all.

This show will have mix reviews, not everybody will get the jokes and the humor.
I loved it. I WILL definately be watching.

#BATB on the CW!!
I got the jokes just fine. They just were not funny. A much, much lesser version of Spamalot. "Yo Mama" jokes? I guess some people are easily amused. I don't mind silly, but they just fell flat and tired no matter how hard they were trying. The songs were terrible, too. Not really memorable.
shareThe yo mama jokes wasn't the funny bit of that joke. The joke is that yo mama jokes were tired and stupid way back in 1265.
shareI like medieval stories and some comedy. I don't mind low-brow humor. I do not like musicals. I was hoping this show would be more comedy and less musical, but its been the other way around so far. Zoned out during most of the singing. The moment I truly laughed was at the end when Sir Jean Hamme was puking out his helm, and during his very slow joust with Galavant.
Will probably tune in next week, but I really do hate musicals.
I am loving it.
