    Default TV shows with musical episodes

    A musical episode is kind of gimmicky, no question, but I've always found them entertaining. Anyone else?

    One of my favorites right now is the musical episode of Grey's Anatomy, which was done from the perspective of one of the characters who had just been seriously injured:

    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    I think my favorite is still Buffy's Once More With Feeling. It's the only thing I like out of that season.

    I have a hard time remembering anything of that season except that episode, TBH. This may be for the best.

    I used to enjoy the musical numbers on The Drew Carey Show. This is a classic...the battle of the Rocky Horror fans vs. the Priscilla, Queen of the Desert fans:

    I feel like I'm becoming "Soap Girl," but One Life To Live has had two musical arcs. First, in 2007, they did an all original song week. In 2010, the songs were all covers. Not coincidentally, 2007 was when High School Musical became a franchise, and the spring of 2010 saw the "back nine" of Glee's first season.
    So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

    I remember seeing an episode of Glee one time that was mainly songs.

    "Scrubs" had an excellent Musical episode. But way back on "Taxi", the had a dream sequence where they did an incredible version of Lullaby of Broadway.


    I remember the Drew Carey one as fairly good.

    The only one I really know about is the Buffy one. The musical episode is not something we really get on British TV.

    There are the odd musical interludes in shows, like this one from Red Dwarf.

    In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
