I’m loving season 2 and all the different plays being parodied. Especially loving the Godspell and Sweeney Todd bits in episode 3. Anyone else watching this series at all? ---

Episode 3 was astonishingly good, and really set a new high. This guy breaks the references down in fine detail: [Schmigadoon! 2X03 BREAKDOWN! All The Easter Eggs, References, And BTS Info You May Have Missed! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPCKuBDj0e4) ---

I watched both seasons recently. I enjoyed them both, but I was less interested in some of the non-jokey songs they had in Season 2. Overall the humour on the show was a bit hit-and-miss for me, with more hits than misses. ---

I liked season two much more than season one. Now that it is schmiggadon, I’m wondering if there will be a third season, and what they could tackle in that. ---

It was renewed. No clue to what group of plays they’ll tackle. ---

If they are dumb enough to go back a third time it would serve them right to get stuck in Schmess Schmiserables. ---

Timewise, they will soon bump up against the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. I laughed at the very creative takeoffs of some of the songs from _Jesus Christ Superstar_ in season two, so I’m looking forward to see what they will do with _Evita_ and _Phantom of the Opera_ (and others). ---

I wonder if they need Andrew Lloyd Webber’s permission or blessing to parody his style of songwriting. ---

I’m a big fan of Pippin, which is maybe the single show most referenced in S2, so I loved it. S1 was good, but my wife and I both preferred S2, maybe because it was exactly our wheelhouse of shows we grew up with. The older style of musical referenced in S1 was always more a stereotype-to-mock than something we were non-ironic fans of. S3 I would assume would be Cats/Phantom/Les Miz, possibly going as far as Rent. Kind of depends whether they want to do a S4, in which case maybe S4 is Rent through the present.
