Galavant

Galavant, a musical comedy created by Dan Fogelman in collaboration with Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, is a miniseries on the ABC dockett for a short run at the top of the winter season.  The show is in the 8/7c time slot typically occupied by ABC’s hit Once Upon A Time.  The show debuted on January 4 with the first two of it’s eight episodes. The double header airing continued throughout the series, with two half hour episodes every Sunday.  Though this tactic may have been selected to pull in viewers, or simply to run through the episodes quickly to fit in OUAT’s hiatus, it did not seem to affect the ratings, as Nielsen did not indicate there was any change in ratings between the two half hour programs.
