Apple TV+ Series SCHMIGADOON! - News & Discussion Thread — Page 10

I hear you on the melodies, but the lyrics had their moments.  "Where the men are men and the cows are cows" always made me laugh.  

This is really sad. They also recently cancelled Josh Gad's Central Park series so maybe they're maybe they are moving away from musical content. I hope the Come From Away pro-shot doesn't get removed too.

This is the push I needed to cancel my AppleTV subscription until Shrinking and The Morning Show come back.

 

I so wanted to love this show -- and I tried watching it many times -- but I could never get into it.  I just felt it was too 'precious' for its own good.  I was surprised when it got renewed for a second season, because I agree that its audience was very niche.  i expected to be part of that niche, and discovered that it was not.

I was just listening to the soundtracks of the two seasons the other day. I really loved this very silly love letter to musical theatre and wish we could’ve gotten that third season. Don’t know how I feel about the stage adaptation - losing that absolutely perfect ensemble of the TV show feels like it would diminish some of the magic. But at least we had those two seasons. The mashing up of Sweeney Todd and Annie is still one brilliant bit of musical parody.
