I like an occasional musical number in a tv show

I like an occasional musical number in a TV show. I don’t think every show should have a musical number and maybe some shows are more suited to musical numbers then others.

The Magicians has done musical numbers for a while now. There was an acoustic rendition of Take on Me on the season 4 finale. Also I liked when the cast sang One Day More and one of the characters said “We had to skip a few verses. They’re great but they don’t apply to our situation.”

The Flash had a musical episode with Supergirl guest staring. That was fun. There were original songs and covers. I don’t think there have been any more musical numbers on the show since then.

Doom Patrol had a musical number by that show is in its first season, so it possible the series is still finding itself. (A lot of shows struggle in their first season.) It was fun.

Maybe I should watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which often features musical numbers. Racheal Bloom the star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend wrote at least one original song for the Flash musical episode. However the occasional musical numbers are partially fun for me because they are a change of pace.
