I could watch this show till they all die or I do.
I knew, going in to the binge fest on Netflix that there were only two seasons. I raised three kids with Alan Menken. Figuratively speaking. When Daddy needed some quiet time, all I had to do was pop Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast, Hercules et al into the VCR and the kids were happy. Me too. as I constantly was blown away by the catchiest of catchy tunes. Menken's ability to work with the funniest lyricists of our day continued with Slater on Galavant. I was gobsmacked by the sheer volume of clever, adult-oriented ditties these geniuses came up with. In dumbed-down times, it doesn't surprise me that this show got short shrift, but saddens me nonetheless. I could keep on watching this show forever. I have to think that was a fun set to work on, with all those uber-talented people. And they couldn't have found a better exit line, by the amazing Timothy Omundson, who should be arrested for larceny, since he stole every scene he was in, to my delight: I HAVE A DRAGON!
