I was thinking back on some of my favorite t.v. shows the other day and I realized a trend, many shows had at least one musical episode from Community to even cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants (the latter ironically having a a stage show now ). But should t.v have musical episodes. Now I'm not talking about S.M.A.S.H, Glee or Galavant where the show is centered around music but rather the shows that are not and go back to their non musical ways after the episode. It does depend how it is done, for example if the cast can sing or not, if not then no. Sometimes if music is incoortapted in other episodes it fits in better. Sometimes it is such a huge contrast from the norm that it could hit and other times the audience will be left saying " well that came out if nowhere, what else is on ". In my personal opinion it varies from show to show, but when it's forced you can tell, when it does work it is a pleasant surprise.
