Star Trek; Strange New Worlds did a musical episode in its most recent season, too.
It did also get me thinking that whilst there are several example of musical episodes in drama, I can’t think of a single musical episode in a sitcom.
Plenty of musical sequences - Tongue Tied in Red Dwarf, Barney’s suit song in How I Met Your Mother, a sequence at the start of one episode of the US Office, a dream sequence with Martin in Frasier, the Bollywood sequence in The Big Bang Theory - but no actual full musical episodes that I can call to mind.
Thanks Ash. I'll add a reference to Star Trek. Re sitcoms, a bit of googling suggests that I Love Lucy, The Brady Bunch and, more recently, That ’70s Show, Scrubs and Community, did musical episodes, but I've not seen any of them myself. All American, interestingly. I wonder why UK productions never really took to musicals beyond the odd tune. On which note, I was pleased to be reminded of Tongue Tied - great fun!
