I hope they do have another season because I want to encourage shorter seasons. I like the British approach of seasons (series in UK terminology) that last only six or so episodes. It makes the shows much less of a commitment. ---

Well, cable already is doing the shorter season thing (10-13 eps a season). And some network shows have that as well. I do think that 6 episodes a season is a bit too short for most things. It worked for this because it wasn’t really about the plot so much. ---

This was way better than I had expected, even though I had hoped it would be as good as it turned out to be. Does that make sense? It does in my head. Anyway, I have only seen good reaction to it, so I hope that counts towards its renewal. Sometimes that does make a difference. ---

Listen to their little wrap-up song from the end of the season and you can see even they weren’t sure if their show would gather ratings. [“Will all this singing kill our Nielsen ratings?”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKjnNZlLcvo) ---

One of the best show renewal news I’ve received, that’s for sure. I thought it was no contest it was a goner! Hooray that it isn’t! ---

I just binge-watched all eight episodes last night and I still don’t know what I watched. But I liked it 😉 > [@dropzone](#): > > His squire is Magnitude! Pop-POP! Dammit, the one person I didn’t look up on imdb! I should’ve known! > [@kunilou](#): > > Yeah, that was a pretty slam-bang sequence of events in the final episode(s). I completely lost track of who made what deals to align with whom. Yup. At one point, Richard was locked up, still talking about fighting the duel the next day and I was like “You’ve already lost! He can just kill you now, why on earth do you still think there’s going to be a duel?” Loved all the cameo’s though, don’t think Anthony Stewart Head and Rutger Hauer have had a mention here, and I swear it looked like Christopher Lee pronounced the young Dickie as King in the flashback… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/galavant-tv-miniseries/709053.md?page=4)
