I fast-forward through the songs...

The Buffy one was pretty good

Once More with Feeling
It's possibly the only good example.

The Scrubs musical episode had some real bangers. It's not always cringy or bad

It's guy love, between two guuuuuuuuuuuys
It's more of a "breaks the flow of the show" kinda thing more than the songs themselves for me
- Not when it's Buffy. It fit right in.
I now fully understand the need for "/s"

speak for yourself

Same, they're often some of my favorite episodes, not just because I like musicals.
Writing one often requires much more planning and effort
Seeing how they creatively shoehorned the reason for it being a musical episode is always fun (e.g. Scrubs, Star Trek Discovery)
Some certified bangers

Futurama had a couple bangers both Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back and, of course, The Devils Hands Are Idle Playthings

Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon
The woman that I idolize, or the hands of an automaton
Without these hands I can’t complete the opera that was captivating her
But if I keep them, and she marries him, he probably won’t want me dating her

Arooo

Same, except for It's Always Sunny

DAYMAN, ahhAHHHahhh

Also Futurama, though the "musical" episodes there tend to be only a single song.
How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back is a masterpiece though.

Hail the Klingons Ohura!

- all right that was pretty much the best part of that episode

The Psych musical episode songs are so catchy they still randomly get stuck in my head

Maybe I should give them another try but I tend to skip musicals even when it comes to my favorite show, Psych
The nuts?

musical hate gang checking in

Except American Dad!

Having people who can actually sing helps so much.

They have such insanely good music taste on that show. It's always stuff you'd never think to use, too, but it fits every time.

But main Street's still all cracked and broken, sorry Mom the mob has spoken, monorail!

I hate actual musicals, but generally like musical episodes of TV shows, like Scrubs and Community both have good ones.

Looking at you Strange New Worlds.

It’s as welcome as a stealth mission in an action video game.

This is literally my favorite episode of the series. It's such a joy to watch a silly episode.
- I agree. SNW is easily my favorite Trek, that episode included.
- But we have Red Dwarf and The Orville for silliness. To me it feels out of place in Star Trek.

If any show you're watching can include a musical episode, it's not a show, it's a toddler's cartoon episode.

I'm sorry you think joy is for kids alone
- Musical inserts bring second hand embarrassment otherwise known as cringe.
A lot of mainstream television shows had a random musical episode. It was a complete tone shift, out of place and usually complete cringe.
Looking up a random list, some affected shows that are definitely not cartoons for toddlers;
Lucifer
Greg's Anatomy
Fringe
Supernatural
The Flash
Once upon a Time
Xena: Warrior Princess
- Greg :)

My Little Pony music episodes are not suck

Just the songs? (laughs in ADHD) 🤣

We’d got so close to the end of Doom Patrol too.

SNL = wannabe Hee-Haw
