Not musicals on Broadway, but on television. A bunch of TV shows do a single episode in the entire series that has a bunch of songs in it. I just love that. It feels like a badass character gets like ten times more badass while singing. A prime example is the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Am I the only one who thinks having every character of the series sing for an episode raises the awesome facter by a bajillion?

I hate both the Power Puff Girls and Billy And Mandy but their musical episodes were awesome anyways.

inB4 Buffy.

You know what,fuck it. I don't even like Buffy, but "Once More With Feeling" is one of the greatest things ever broadcasted at TV.

Okay, not part of a musical episode, but still an awesome moment involving people singing. So, it fits kinda!

It's hard to find Once More With Feeling videos on YouTube that have both the video and the music. Damn copyrights.

^ It's even harder finding South Park videos. Maybe that's why my South Park thread died.

Pretend this video shows Buffy singing to a scary demon:

That works too. The audio's a little weird, but who cares, I have the MP3s.

I suppose I'm a bit reversed; I liked the show, but though I found the musical episode interesting, it wasn't my favorite thing ever.

But that^^^^^ still has that element of... literally je ne sais quois... which is quite frustrating. Mixed feelings, pah.

^x8: You can't be inb4 Buffy if Buffy was mentioned in the first post.

I also enjoyed the musical episode of Kanamemo. It helped that there were lesbians in bathing suits involved.

Yes.

That is why Glee is so great.

Also, this troper wants to write a musical episode. If only one of my shows would take off...

I don't know. I do like glee, but since there are songs in every episode, it's just not the same as when there is just one episode of the series dedicated to music, y'know what I mean?

Anyway, did anyone else think Buffy became a bajillion times more badass when she beat the crud out of the minions WHILE singing? It just adds so much more drama...
