A Musical Episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

doppelgangwillow · 07-30-2003, 12:39 PM

This idea was brought up on another board about W&G doing a musical episode. I thought it made for a really great discussion, so what do you think? Musical episode or no musical episode?

My .02:

I am SO on board with this idea! Being the OBSESSIVE Buffy, the Vampire Slayer fan that I am, I was/am a HUGE fan of the Buffy musical episode "Once More With Feeling." A musical episode worked out so well for BtVS, one of the most critically acclaimed. It also worked well for the Disney Channel series Even Stevens. However, I guess you have to look at it from both sides, where it didn't work out so well when David E. Kelley tried it with Ally McBeal.

Anyway, the whole cast can sing, so why not?! Debra will claim she can't sing, but I can tell from her rendition of "Midnight Train to Georgia" that with a little practice, she'd be awesome. And with a musical, you need that "Broadway-feel" & they have all been there before! Then there is beautiful Harry...ah, that voice & that talent on a piano. I really don't think they could go wrong! Keep the humor to it & you've got a winner!!!

I think that would be a good idea! To have them all sing through the whole episode would be kinda neat lol.

I could TOTALLY see that to thats a great idea

That would make a pretty good episode. Kind of a fantasy episode. I know quite a few shows have done them. I remember when Roseanne did a musical episode about her getting know bathroom time to herself. So she kills her family and goes on trial.

I would love that. Especially with the "Broadway-feel." To me that would be heaven. Okay, so Debra may have to take a few singing lessons, but I think it's awfully funny whenever she sings on the show, vocally challenged and all. It just.....there are no words. I love it.

Eric M. should sing "Seventy-Six Trombones."

That would be ace! Seen as they are all singers anyhow there would be no burst eardrums.
I'm not a fan of Buffy but the musical I LOVED!
Maybe a musical W&G would entice new fans?!

I remember they discussed this on Larry King and the cast was on board, Eric said they can all sing, I think Debra puts on a bad voice for her character it is more funny that way.

I would love an episode like this, I agree "Once More with Feeling" was great.

We've confused many people on the set because there is not one part of my body that Sean has not touched, nor me his. And I can't explain it-it's just our way of relating. I mean, if we were presented to the queen of England, I'd probably be grabbing his package."
