10 Best Musical TV Shows, Ranked (screenrant.com)

TV musicals like Glee and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend have dedicated fan bases and critical acclaim, thanks to their fabulous musical performances and unique exploration of characters' inner desires. Many of the best musicals have happened on TV, providing an excellent platform for storytelling through music, drama, and comedy, with streaming services allowing for more experimentation and creativity in the genre. Shows like Nashville, Smash, and Empire started strong but eventually lost their charm due to clichés, melodrama, and implausible plotlines, while underrated shows like Galavant struggled with low ratings but offered cleverness and fun.

The list includes:
10. Nashville (2012)
9. Smash (2012)
8. Empire (2015)
7. Galavant (2015)
6. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (2020)
5. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2019)
4. The Monkees (1966)
3. Flight Of The Conchords (2007)
2. Glee (2009)

  1. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015)

Can't argue with number 1. Personally I'd add Schmigadoon to this list somewhere.
