musical TV episodes to face for this
list we’ve picked the most original and
well-received musical episodes and we’re
talking shows that went all-in and
dedicated a full episode to song you

how I Met Your Mother fans we had to
exclude girls vs suits since that’s only
the one song perfect way to snag number
10 the devil’s hands are idol playthings
Futurama who is this one eyed female
baby Moses with courage in her female
baby smile
just don’t only barely started as one of
the best reviewed Futurama episodes and
its last before it was brought back five
years later this musical was inspired by
the saying idle hands are the devil’s
playthings and the story of Faust who
sells his soul to the devil
stop take my hands
you evil mental paralleling that fry
tries to win over Leela with his hollow
phoner skills to win Leela’s heart with
the hyung the photos art I need Hatton’s
of transcendental quickness when he
fails miserably he enlists the robot
devil to give him a hand transplant you
have what my old music teacher mrs.
Mellinger calls stupid fingers zany yes
but the plot matches well with the Opera
inspired songs written for it as for me
I must be off to have my doctor check
this cause goodbye
I don’t recall ever fighting Godzilla
but that is so what I would have done
you got eyes that can tear out the heart
of
with what number nine the bittersweet
Xena Warrior Princess I can’t be sci-fi
fantasy series about a warrior princess
seems like the perfect setting for a
musical right you’re acting so strangely
that I hardly know you but still I
wouldn’t trust you as far as I could
throw yeah well bizarre or not Xena’s
Trek into musical territory worked
surprisingly well as it followed the
titular heroine and her companion
Gabrielle to the land of illusion
once there they must confront their
demons and each other to overcome their
problems and work together as a team
once more and it’s hunger consumes for
it lives to destroy metal fighting
hatred he is the star it becomes who you
are with poignant lyrics and emotion
filled musical numbers the season 3
episode is an oddly moving chapter in
this show’s history the short leave of
destruction young which earned two Emmy
nominations
number eight simpson calif fragile istic
expialidocious The Simpsons never help
us with math and book reports might I
add eat my shorts part just cutting
through the treacle everything on The
Simpsons airs on the side of the
ridiculous so even a musical isn’t a
surprise
Marge decides to bring on a nanny to
make their lives better and the one she
hires happens to be a real-life Mary
Poppins sorry Cherie bobbins did you say
Mary pop no I definitely did not I’m an
original creation like Rickey rouse and
modeled muck and even though the real
Mary Poppins Julie Andrews was supposed
to perform the role but didn’t it’s
still one of our faves if you cut every
corner rich is really not so bad
everybody does it even mom and dad MS
bobbins quickly fixes the dysfunctional
family but the beer will taste more
sweet if you get up off your seat ladies
and then ask for a beer not a song but
not before their antics turn her into an
alcoholic wasted weekend and Margaery
shavoo
searching for my lost shaker of salt oh
here it is
number 7 Daria the musical Daria I got a
big wheel rolling in my heart I really
don’t know what that’s supposed to mean
it means a long tail mourn it’s gonna
start on your pants Daria is the last
girl you’d expect to see in a musical
which is precisely why this episode
works so well oh that’s great the toast
is cold what tales of nothing
will on fall with a potential hurricane
on the horizon
the residents of Lawndale break out in
song to express their concern but what
if what if what if the town blow away
where what the football players play we
go to shovel day we still get three
months off
unlike most musicals the topics of these
songs are banal and average which is in
step with the show’s theme of suburban
life I always knew that I would die in
Nowheresville but I didn’t think I’d die
there quite so soon with all inner
feelings coming out in song this episode
was not a fan favorite but hey seriously
who doesn’t love a good tune the big wet
rain storms over I think you hurt your
car the big wet rain storms over now
will you go real far away from me
because you say I crash my car into a
dream number 6 variety is laughing in
the Sun always having fun in all those
things don’t worry you’re working
out the kinks a prison seems like the
last place for a musical to happen so
viewers were pleasantly surprised by
this episode I wanna be free like the
warm September wind be presented as a
variety show but with many of the
inmates expressing their interior
thoughts through song free well can’t
you forget all Phil we are back this oz
installment surprises us with the skills
of some of its stars look I’m standing
naked before you don’t you want more
than my sex so the premise is
over-the-top the episode works well
because of the emotion it brings out in
the characters Oh
it also has some great dance numbers
reminiscent of jailhouse rock and cell
block tango this is
number five mayhem of the musikmeister
Batman The Brave and the bold that it
sounds to me like it’s time to rumble
indeed but it is you who will take that
hum boom I’m sorry hon but did you just
sing that if you’re gonna take the world
over with song leave it to Neil Patrick
Harris to be the voice to do it put down
your arms my friends your arrows guns
and swords as the music Meister he plots
to control others through music and to
take over the United Nations
communication satellite his voice can
hit a pitch that hypnotically controls
anyone who hears it this concerto of
crime is over the episode shines in
scenes that mimic the dance fight from
West Side Story and the music of Phantom
of the Opera cartoon or not this
creative episode was met with critical
acclaim and was even nominated for an
Emmy was the singing really necessary
number for that 70s musical that’s 70
show
leave it to the foreign kid to have an
overactive imagination
I think whatever you’re on I’ll take two
of them during this episode best worries
about his role in the School Musical and
his friends opinions more specifically
he doesn’t think they’ll show up to
support him ah love scars to decrease
his anxiety he has elaborate fantasies
of the whole gang performing musical
numbers to express themselves does I
speak of the poverty of the episode
works because they use great 70s hits
like love hurts
happy together and shake your groove
thing in a comedic and theatrical way
it’s filled again
number three regional holiday music
community clay it’s like a drug that you
use that turns pain into shoes and your
shoes into dance community is a show
based on making fun of pop culture and
it’s no secret that series creator Dan
Harmon dislikes Glee next stop regionals
what the hell are regional say never
stop talking about it
this episode parodies the popular TV
show after Greendale’s own glee club
gets sick and the study group is asked
to fill in for them it hurts my little
head when I’m lying in my bed with
visions of sugarplums socks this a bit
instead of singing classic Christmas
songs the gang comes up with wacky tunes
like Christmas infiltration a song about
Troy wanting to celebrate the holiday
despite being a Jehovah’s Witness why
all the TV specials that I never could I
even cried during a sad one by James
Bond would and win the big night come to
Sonic set the bait cold milk hot cookies
decorative place hello I’m dr. Kelso one
delighted that you came so the doctors
say you fainted then you don’t know what
complain number two my musical scrubs on
behalf of all work here

peculiar condition where she hears
everything in song when you leave us all

solve her problem Turk and JD assure her
that everything comes down to puh one of
the episodes many comedic songs from the
top of your head to the sole of your
shoe we can figure out what’s wrong with
you by looking at your poo benefiting
from the guest star power of Stephanie
dear Brut so a well-known Broadway star
as the patient this is one of scrubs
most well-received episodes because it
earned five Emmy nominations and one win
it’s like I married my best friend but
in a totally manly way we like to think
guy love put it over the top don’t
compromise the feeling of some other guy
pulling up your heart into the sky

that would have stayed we

somewhere then let’s recheck the
retroperitoneum catch on access and buy

number one once more with feeling Buffy
the Vampire Slayer every single night
the same arrangement I go out and fight
the fight still I always be the
strangest strange myth nothing here is
real nothing here is right joss whedon
isn’t afraid to take chances as this
episode of Buffy proves I’ve got a
theory that it’s a demon
a dancing demon something isn’t right
there I’ve got a theory some goodies
dreamin and we’re all stuck inside his
wacky Broadway nightmare after a demon
works his magic the people of Sunnydale
are forced to reveal their inner
thoughts through song That’s
Entertainment the music in the episode
is lyrically complex particularly in
Buffy song going through the motions
which is about being unfulfilled with
life after returning from the dead
walking through the pot nothing seems to
penetrate my
the episode may open an emotional can of
worms but it still retains the wit and
charm the show is known for
