YES! YES! YES! BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER IS #1!
You forgot Musical episodes from:
Fringe
House MD
Grey's anatomy
Supernatural (there's 2)
The Buffy episode is definitely one of the best musical episodes, and it got the entire cast a chance to show off their vocal pipes!
YES! I loved that one :)
Great, a contender
Apart from Alyson Hannigan, she couldn’t sing to save her life.
I met Amber Benson she was delightful
I know these weren't very popular but more famous show musicals: Song Beneath The Song - Grey's Anatomy and Fan Fiction - Supernatural are still damn good musical episodes!!!
I'm not sure if Supernatural qualifies since they were watching a musical instead of them actually singing, but I still love it.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Fan Fiction isn't considered a musical episode because none of the cast was singing. I wish they would have done a true musical episode, Jensin Ackles has an amazing voice.
I loved Callie singing The Story!!!
Fringe also had a musical episode
Why wasn't the Once Upon a Time episode on this list?! That was a brilliant musical episode!
That episode makes me full body cringe. I liked that show but it died during season 4. I tried to keep going but the musical episode was just so bad..that was what made me stop watching.
OMG THANK YOU I WAS LITERALLY WONDERING THE SAME THING
I agree. I loved that episode, it was a lot of fun
@@KittenUndercover knowing how ridiculous once upon a time was from the getgo, the musical episode is what made you cringe?!
@@KittenUndercover most of OUAT seasons made me cringe!!!
The Scrubs episode was great. I like the way they worked the singing into the plot instead of just having characters singing out of the blue with no logical explanation.
Before I even watch this, "Once More With Feeling" from BTVS had the best musical episode EVER, and it actually fit within the show genre and the episode.
For me, The Flash musical episode, and the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical episodes were the best!💖💖💖
Same
Def the Flash Musical Episode
It's not a happy episode, but I think that it was so greatly performed that it deserves to be mentioned: Greys Anatomy
Me too, even though it was depressing, it was certainly memorable!
@@trinaq completely!!! 100% awesome!!!
I think it was an honourable mention in a previous list on the regular WatchMojo channel.
@@bluebear1985 oh, I haven't seen that video. Which is it?! I would love to see it! I loved that episode (even that's really deep and sad)
I know it wasn't well received but Song Beneath The Song was a VERY important and IMHO a damn good episode!!!
Lucifer should be more than a mention... his duett with god is sooo good!!!
It really was. Another One Bites the Dust was fun(ish), but the weakest song of the episode, IMO. The songs toward the end were spectacular!
I think Dan had the best song, it was a ton of fun to watch 🖤
Can you really count HIMYM? It’s not a musical episode, just a number.
Oh it counts
if Once More, With Feeling" hadn't been #1, i would have wondered what they were smoking over there. I still watch it sometimes. As recent as a few weeks ago!
It’s like the mother of all musical episodes 😅💕
Me too. I bought it as a single episode on DVD alongside the boxsets. There is no better musical episode... There is no better episode, period.
I’m surprised Steven Universe is on this list. It’s definitely a musical show 🤣 there’s a song on every episode.
I thought the same thing. Like Stephen Universe is definitely a musical show
Yeah at first I thought they were making a distinction between shows that often feature music, and entirely musical episodes, but that didn’t fit either.
At the least they should have done Other Friends instead
Yeah what the heck? I thought this was a list of normal tv shows with a one of or maybe even two musical episodes!
You’re totally right there’s a song in basically every episode, it’s just like Phineas and Ferb! How come that doesn’t count then? Bit weird.
@@allisonbergh4429 that was still a musical movie.
The Buffy musical still gives me the chills. After all this time.
You can't forget about Supernatural season 10 episode 5 !! Fanfiction
The whole episode was a literal musical
True. No matter how hard I try, I can't forget about it. One of my least favorite episodes.
My favorite version of Carry On my Wayward Son
I had a roommate who got me into Buffy. He and his girlfriend were super fans, and I still remember the crazy, conflicted feelings when we first saw the commercial for “Once More With Feeling.” It didn’t disappoint, though.
My carpool partner and I used to duet Xander and Anyas song “I’ll never tell”
What constitutes a musical episode? When I think of that it is the entire or majority of the episode is musical. The HIMYM episode had one song in it at the end. This was not a musical episode anymore than the episodes with Robin Sparkles that had a musical number. A show that includes a musical number in each episode also shouldn't be on this list as it would not be out of the ordinary for the series to venture into musical territory (i.e. Steven Universe). You missed some big ones like Even Stevens, Grey's Anatomy and Xena while including ones that don't even fit the criteria. That's disappointing.
All of this! I was disappointed that Influenza from Even Stevens wasn't at least an honorable mention.
I almost forgot Xena's episode!! That one was incredible!!
Xena: Warrior Princess had two fantastic musicals, The Bitter Suite (nominated for 2 Emmys) and Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire. I was completely obsessed with Lyre, Lyre. The Bitter Suite is notable for starting the trend of TV shows doing a musical episode. The OG, if you will.
Ummmm…..did y’all forget the OUAT musical ep? That one was ICONIC. It should’ve AT LEAST made ‘the honorable mentions’.
The Grey’s Anatomy musical ep wasn’t so terrible either.
Both shows should have made the list
Right! I missed OUAT too!
After season 2 OUAT was stupid
@@tammymartinez7488 highly disagree
You missed out on Xena: Warrior Princess "The Bitter Suite" where Xena and Gabrielle had to go through Illusia to face their past to mend a end relationship that would have killed one or both.
Agreed!!
It’s a crime that this isn’t on the lisr
Beat me to it... I ADORE Once More, With Feeling, but the Bitter Suite was my first LOVE!!!
I agree with all of my fellow Xena lovers. Xena had not only 'The Bitter Suite' in season 3 but 'Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire' in season 5. TBS was a storytelling masterpiece with catchy songs and great plot advancement but very heavy due to the devastating theme. LLHOF was far lighter in theme and delivery and wonderfully camp and OTT. Of course we have various beautiful funeral songs through the whole series, most of which were performed by Lawless herself. Love the music for all of Xena and sending love and strength to everyone out there.
@@rosennadstygia9890 I think that Lyre Lyre was absolutely useless to make. I love Bitter suite, but LLHOF make my ears bleed every time I hear any song from there. Bleh... Disco? Really?? Ugh..
Can we just accept that having NPH in your show = fantastical musical episodes and he should be in everything?
Not that the Once Upon a Time episode ain’t make any part of this list.
“Happy Beginning” is a certified banger.
And wicked always wins
I love that one and Love doesn’t stand a chance and revenge will be mine
None of them could actually sing except Captain Hook though.
Wicked Always Wins and Revenge are my favorites of that episode
Yeah that one was fun!!! I also loved how they made the theme music the basis of Emma's song.
The Daria musical episode “Daria!” I can safely say is probably my favorite episode in the series
“Morning In The Burbs” and “They Must Be Worried” are my favorite songs from the episode
For real! It's my favorite episode of Daria.
You've got to be..... manly 🤣
@@steadman1969 Honey, is that okay? Mannnnnlllllyyyyyyyyyyy!
that Once Upon A Time wasn’t on here, is such a crime and 10 top best musical TV shows.
The fact that Once Upon A Time wasn’t on here, is such a crime.
So true the Once Upon a Time one was awesome. Especially Hook's song
Right that's why I clicked on the list
@@fullhousefrek same
Well that sucks, that was the only reason I clicked on this stupid video. Because that was a great episode I have a lot of the songs on my playlist on Spotify, it was just a fun episode and it's some great songs too
That ep was cringeworthy.
Alyson Hannigan: can't sing
Also Alyson Hannigan: has somehow been involved in two highly-regarded musical episodes on two different shows
"Nothing suits me like a suit" is legend...wait for it...dary song
Nothing Tooths me like a tooth
Dude. I'm lactose intolerant
@@patperez1446 Nothink milks me like a milkkkk!
I love Once More With Feeling, but Xena Warrior Princess had the absolute best musical episode: The Bitter Suite. And it wasn't even mentioned in the honorable mentions!
Honestly I liked the Once More With Feeling best, but Xena’s Bitter Suite is a close second.
Once again MsMojo aims for the bulls-eye and hits the bird on the fence. "The Bitter Suite" - Xena: Warrior Princess.
That scrubs episode was brilliant. I still sing Guy Love all the time. The song with turk and carla was incredible too
The line “then why’d you tell JD our baby’s Blaxican” still pops into my head from time to time 🤣
@@allisonbergh4429 same! The writing was amazing!!
Once more with feeling is the best musical episode of all time. Yes. Thank you!
Where's Once upon a time? That musical episode is one I was waiting for.
Major dropping the ball to leave off Gray's Anatomy!! “Song Beneath the Song" was the most epic and emotional musical episode ever, when I saw this list title, I was positive it would be the number one pick. Biggest WatchMojo/MsMojo fail ever
I'm shocked Once Upon A Time got snubbed!! "The Song in Your Heart" episode was awesome!
My favorite singing episode belongs to Grey's Anatomy. "Song Beneath the Song" is the episode. It's were Cali's life is holding on by a thread.
So glad that “Psych: The Musical” made the list!😊💗 I especially love that Shawn’s dad refused to sing and the narrator critiqued the storybook pages.🤣
Literally only clicked to see if it was 😂🍍
I've heard it both ways and Jamaican inspector man are classics!!
@@goeltrolden I especially loved when Gus got to be “Jamaican Inspector Man” and started tap dancing when he got stage fright/forgot his lines. Him randomly flying over the set while he sang the whole song was also pretty great.😊
Shoulda been much higher on the list... It was so epic and well done, and the fact that they got Mark from Rent was seriously impressive. Also Lassie has a majestic voice he got to further explore in Galavant.
@@erinjoyner3739 agree there! Sadly, I think the reason it wasn't is because the show itself is criminally underrated 😕🍍
@@goeltrolden Haha very true. And shows like Buffy have crazy fans lol
If number one isn’t “Once More With Feeling” I don’t know what I’m going to do lol
I think seeing the Buffy musical episode was what got me to go back and watch the entire series. Still one of my favourite musical episodes ever.
I'm kinda shocked the Xena episode The Bitter Suite isn't on here. Except for the Simpsons episode that show did a musical episode before any of the others on this list.
After all it is "inconceivable" that they left it out especially with such superb songs as What's Still Unwritten.. Melt Into Me and Hate is the Star that fit so well into the plot of the episode
So glad that the Psych musical and the Community episode made the list! Two of my favorite shows and I almost never see Psych on any of the Mojo lists so that was refreshing to see :)
The Song Beneath the Song episode of Grey's will always be my favourite musical episode. The talent of that cast was next level, the actors they featured (especially Sara Ramirez) are insanely talented vocalists. Plus as opposed to many other musical episodes this one was not a filler. The plot was moved along and it is a hugely important episode that ties the season together.
Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam had me crying, laughing and a roller coaster of emotions at the same time... LUCIFER is the BEST!!!!!
If this comment wasn’t here I was going to add it 😅
The flash musical episode was a mini glee cast reunion 😍
My favorite musical episode was "The Song in Your Heart" in the show "Once Upon a Time"
I was so disappointed that episode didn’t even get an honorable mention!
The whole show after season 2 sucked!
How is Xena “The Bitter Suite” not on here? It’s a masterpiece
☝️ yes this! I've never seen Xena mentioned in anything about musical episodes and they had 2, "Bitter suite" and "lyre lyre"
@@tonyluver16 Lyre, Lyre is a... choice (I love it though). But The Bitter Suite is the best musical episode and it saddens me that it wasn't even included as a honorable mention.
The Bitter Suite is more ambitious, superior musically written, and better performed than this entire top 10. What’s more, it actually served the season’s overarching story line vs most of these listed were pretty much throw away episodes.
Right? It should be. That episode was awesome.
@@risaanav6113 It should have been at number 2, behind Buffy, solely just for how good "The Love of Your Love' is.
The Flash's musical episode is so underrated, Barry's musical proposal to Iris was such a special moment ❤
I have to admit, when Scrubs did a musical episode, I was overjoyed as it combined two of my three favorite genres - music and medicine ( the third being horror )
My List:
5. "Influenza", Even Stevens
4. "Streercar", The Simpsons
3. "Henny Penny: Straight, No Chaser", The Golden Girls
2. "Daria!", Daria
1. "Once More, With Feeling", Buffy the Vampire Slayer
*Edit
#4. "Streetcar", The Simpsons
I'm mad the Even Stevens one didn't get an mention
This is an excellent list
@@stephanielieber1680 Thanks! ☺
The Daria musical episode is also worth a mention.
The once upon a time musical episode is amazing, because we also got the Captain Swan wedding!!!
Hi 👋 Hannah, your comments so good where are you from?
I always love a good musical episode!!!
I especially loved Mayhem Of The Music Meister, Grey Delisle gave Black Canary a truly magical singing voice!
I loved the Once Upon a Time musical episode. I know it received a lot of criticism, but I thought it was a lot of fun
the song selection for the Lucifer musical was so good! each of the songs was spot on and it actually fit into the storyline instead of just writing a musical for the sake of it
One good one to dig up is the musical episode of Fringe, titled "Brown Betty," in which Walter Bishop has a drug-induced hallucination where Olivia is a detective, 1940s film noir style.
I really love the Buffy Musical episode. It's my favorite, however I was surprised that another Musical Episode wasn't even mentioned. Perhaps it's too old for most to remember XDDD It was the first Xena Musical episode. I think there were two musical episodes in the series but the first one was so much better and I still listen to music from it to this day. It was called the Bitter Suite. I still love to sing Hearts are Hurting and Peace and War!!
Man, it stinks that everyone kinda just forgot about The Drew Carey Show, even as an honorable mention
god those dance numbers were iconic af...I still love the Time Warp/Groove Thing fusion one
Haven't checked to see if anyone mentioned Greys Anatomy, after Cali had the car accident. That is still my favourite!
Yes, it’s a crime that they didn’t even put it into honorable mention. It’s better than most of the mentioned ones…
Mine too 😻
Yes! Finally Psych gets some recognition such a good show with an amazing cast
Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam from Lucifer only gets a honorable mention. I think it should of definitely made the list as it was clever as to how it was a musical episode (God was in earth and made everyone sing and dance) and the musical numbers fit the characters and story. It should be on the list proper.
No, it shouldn’t, because the actually music was AWFUL.
HIMYM was just one song so it wasn't really an episode. Xena “The Bitter Suite” should absolutely have made this list :( I have the soundtrack for "Once More with Feeling" on my Spotify and it gets put on repeat constantly. That and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog :D Does the music still make me tear up after all these years and sing along very loudly to the point my kids look embarrassed? You betcha. ;)
Once more with feeling! My absolute favorite.
Supernaturals musical episode! Definitely my all time favourite musical episode! And Lucifer deserved much more than just an honorable mention !
Well at least you finally included Psych in something lol. But number 9?? Damn. And honestly the musical didn’t feel out of place at all - it’s a comedy. And Shawn and Gus try to sing a lot, with varying degrees of success lol. But you included Psych for once and for that alone I will give you a thumbs up lol.
I am surprised Even Steven’s Influenza wasn’t here. That episode was so perfect! I’m 31 years old and still know every word to Ren’s ‘we went to the moon’ song.
Psych is bar far one of my favorite shows of all time. Wish the series didn't end, but glad that they keep making the movies for us to hold on to (3rd one is in the making btw)
@@Michelle-DiPalo I know, I can’t wait for the third! Psych IS my favorite show of all time haha, I even got my 14 year old niece to be obsessed with it. I wish it was talked about more, it always deserved way more popularity than it got.
@@RonHeartsMe I agree.
10:06 What isn’t Steven Universe a musical show itself?
The emotion in the Grey’s Anatomy musical episode is incredible. I was expecting to see that one in this list somewhere.
Right!?! It's one of the few musical episodes that actually drives the plot forward and the singing is Phenomenal!
I love buffy episode no 1 but grey anatomy could be up there too why
And who else agree with me too
Kinds regards
Charles
I was going to lose my shit if Buffy wasn't on this list. I'm overjoyed that it was #1. It was so fucking good!!
10: "Regional Holiday Music" - Community
9: "Pysch: The Musical" - Pysch
8: "Mayhem Of The Music Meister" - Batman: The Brave and The Bold
7: "Girls Versus Suits" - How I Met Your Mother
6: "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" - Futurama
5: "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious" - The Simpson's
4: "Mr. Greg" - Steven Universe
3: "Duet" - The Flash
2: "My Musical" - Scrubs
1: "Once More, With Feeling" - Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Yes! As soon as I saw this video I knew it had to be Buffy, such an incredible musical episode as all the cast and songs were so good
Psych: The Musical is number one for me.
You know that's right!! 🍍
Thanks for reminding me how much I love scrubs
I'm so glad that Once More with Feeling was number one! That is my favorite Buffy episode.
I feel like the xena musical episode should have gotten an honorable mention since it predates all of these. Well, maybe not the simpsons episode, but the live action shows.
I know it's a teen Disney show, but I loved Even Stevens "Influenza: The Musical." The final number "We went to the moon in 1969" has stuck in my head for years!
Not going to lie, I was going to be upset if Once More with Feeling wasn't on the list, and I giggled like a kid when it came as number 1. That episode was a huge obsession in my friends group in high school (we were hard-core Buffy fans) and I can still sing every song from heart lmao
Once Upon A Time should have at least had an honorable mention.
"While Batman doesn't necessarily strike us as a song and dance kind of superhero"
Holy Musical Batman is typing...
Just checking to see if Buffy is still #1
The musical episode of Once Upon a Time should be on the next list!
Just came to check that Buffy was number one.
House MD musical "Get Happy" was amazing and I'm surprised it's not here. It's on a completely different level than the rest you show, except "Suits"
The episode won, I repeat WON ,an Emmy which is more than .... never mind.
FINALLY! I agree with Buffy as number 1. You didn’t mention Joss wrote the songs himself. You also didn’t mention that three of the cast have sung professionally AND you either didn’t notice or didn’t comment that Hannigan ( pardon any spelling error ) was in Once More With Feeling as well as the How I met your mother episode.
Omigosh the whole time I was hoping for Buffy so so happy it was number one :)
Fun fact: during Barney’s final note, the woman to the right in the pink shirt dancing is Heather Morris!
I love how Neil Patrick Harrison has multiple listings, I accept nothing less
This show came after your review / ranking, but we have a new #1 musical episode:
Star Trek Strange New Worlds "Subspace Rhapsody". Truly outstanding.
The Flash episode was so good!!!!
Community, Scubs, and Even Stevens musical episode are my favorite
Yas!! Buffy! Such a powerful emotional episode. I was hoping that opera episode from Hey Arnold would get a nod 🤣
Xana Warrior Princess had 2 musical episodes both great! First was all original songs and second was all covers. Chef's 💋.
You didn’t even mention the Once Upon a Time musical!!!!
“Once more with feeling” is my absolute favorite. Number two is “The nightman cometh” from It’s always sunny in Philadelphia.
You missed Xena, but I'm so glad you remembered Buffy the musical
I was just waiting for number one. Love it!
“My Musical” from Scrubs is my personal favorite, but I think Supernatural: The Musical from the Supernatural episode “Fan Fiction” should have at least gotten an honorable mention on the list
I'm sorry, but how was Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam only honorable mention? That episode was extraordinary! The reason behind the singing was plausible, the song choices matched the characters and the story overall was amazing! It would've been at least top 5 for me. Also, this list is missing the Once Upon A Time musical episode. That one was great.
You might have to re-do this list now that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Space Rhapsody musical episode came out. It was truly outstanding! I would put it in the #3 position just before Flash, just because all of it was original music like #1 & 2. And they even had some references to the #1 pick. (Bunnies, I’ve got a feeling). I wouldn’t bump # 10 off though, I’d just remove HIMYM from the list. It was one song, not a musical episode.
I had to come here and make sure that Once More With Feeling was Number 1.
Yes!!! “Once More, with Feeling” had to be #1.
Yes, to Buffy, Scrubs, The Flash and Lucifer an honourable mention???? that show deserve to be in the list more than just an honourable mention! and No OUAT! what!!!!! they're all my favourite musicals!!
also just realised through this video that that Community episode and that's so raven episodes are musicals!! ah!!!! another reason to love them and they're gonna on the list!
a little upset they didn't include OUAT since I love that episode 😭
