But the musical sitcom did mark John Stamos’ first post- General Hospital role, and the tunes were pitch-perfect for MTV’s Golden Age. This Bill Bixby-directed 1984 fever dream about a pop act on the rise was so crummy that CBS couldn’t bring itself to air more than half of its dozen episodes.

Review TVLine’s ranking of musical shows to find out which series was No.

Finally, educational/children’s programming like Sesame Street was not included. Note: To make our rankings, the show’s characters had to have regularly broken out into song in musical numbers that were either real ( Empire, Nashville) or imagined ( Eli Stone, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), be they original tunes or covers à la Glee. The series must have also aired at least one season, so Rise of the Pink Ladies, which is still in the midst of unspooling its freshman run, didn’t make the cut. The below list includes current entries ( High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) and past ones ( The Monkees), and ranges from quality musical shows ( Flight of the Conchords) to ones that missed the mark (we’re looking at you, Cop Rock). But the aforementioned series are hardly the only ones to have their casts belt out high notes, as evidenced by TVLine’s ranking of musical shows, from worst to best. With the recent releases of Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & the Six, Hulu’s Up Here and Paramount+’s Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, musical shows have taken over the small screen with catchy melodies. The sound of song is in the air - or more precisely, all over TV.
