This humorous fandoms, or fandoms with a cracky premise, and this any 5-minute fandoms out there that I should check out? both fits "Galavant" very well. I only found out about it when John Barrowman replied to a tweet, saying that he had auditioned for it but they didn't want him.
Two seasons, 18 episodes altogether, just 30 minutes per episode (20 minutes if you don't count commercials). Once you start watching, you can't stop. At least I couldn't. And I was very hesitant at first, as it was pitched to me as being similar to Monty Python, and I absolutely don't get Monty Python humor. But this I loved.
It's set in medieval times, and it is a musical. There is a lot of singing and dancing and overall crackyness. The music was done by Alan Menken of Disney fame which alone is a recommendation. You can also find the songs on youtube if you want to have a quick look. Very humorous lyrics (sometimes of the kind where you wonder how they got away with it, but I guess if you have your critique of American politics in a medieval setting anything is possible - isn't ABC also the channel that is doing the Simpsons? That would explain a lot), great actors, I really loved it.
It's an American (ABC) show but filmed in the UK with lots of British actors I recognized, two from "Downton Abbey" for example. Worth alone for the British accents and awesome locations. 2 minutes in I recognized a cathedral I have visited many years ago. I love such things.
Well worth checking out! Sadly it was cancelled but for a while it was my new favorite fandom. I have no idea if there is fic about it. Maybe I should check!
