queerguru loves T.V. shows that do not take themselves too seriously, and we have found a new one that we have fallen in love and with and put on the top of our ‘must-see’ list from now on. When ABC’s parody fantasy/fairytale musical sitcom Galavant was renewed for a second season despite it’s poor ratings it came back this weekend with a very tongue-in-cheek series premiere entitled “A New Season aka Suck it Cancellation Bear”.
It opened with a very funny song called ‘A New Season’ that asked the audience to ‘screw all those apprentices and every batchelorette” and went in to boast of an upcoming roster of “new guest’s who’ll cost the network a fortune”.
The first of these guests (who may or may not have indeed cost that much) was the wonderful Kylie Minogue who was even more outrageously camp than usual (hard to believe, we know). Kylie played The Queen (!) owner of the Enchanted Forest’s resident gay bar who flirts with the (very hot) Galavant (Joshua Sasse) ordering him to either remove his shirt or be thrown to ‘The Bear’.
She sings to the knight: “You trespassed upon my kingdom, and now you’re in my sway. Which basically means as Queen of all queens, I’m going to make you pay. One thing for sure will settle the score, and trust me it’s more than fair. Off with his shirt! Strip him down. Don’t be shy boys, go to town.”
P.S. Like all fairytales, this one has a very happy ending. Since the scene was filmed in L.A. in September the petite Australian 47 year -old diva and the hunky 28 year-old Brit actor have very much become an “item”. Here are pics of them (courtesy of Getty Images) on the happy couple celebrating at a rugby match. Just like her big 1998 hit single ‘I Should Be So Lucky‘ , we say that Kylie so deserves to be exactly as that.
