The show runners would never want to disrespect their fans by changing such a key quality of “Galavant”. It is very difficult to find a show currently airing on TV that the whole family (ranging from grandparents to wee ones) could enjoyably and comfortably watch together. Part of “Galavant’s” allure is that it appeals equally to adults and children alike. We run stuff by my sister who has two small kids who are obsessed with the show and we’re kinda like ‘What do you think?’ With that one, she’s like, ‘I would be laughing hysterically, but I would never turn on the show without previewing it first.” “Your Mother is a Whore” is such a tough call. If “Galavant” moves to an edgier network, would the show runners make the show a little racier? Would questionable and vetoed musical numbers like “Your Mother is a Whore” become a regular occurrence when it finds a new home? Hoberg and Likkel assure fans that the nature of our beloved show will not change simply because a new network would allow things that ABC did not. You can’t help but wonder if “Galavant” would take advantage of a new network’s leniency. We’ve grown fond of “Galavant’s” family-friendly format with a safely saucy wink at adult viewers (often expressed through bleeped out curse words and nuanced innuendos that go over the kiddie’s heads). They often air programs featuring more adult content.

Each one of these networks has their own regulations, which differ from ABC’s censorship. Fans have been targeting Hulu, Netflix and Amazon during the # MoreGalavant campaign. But, ABC’s loss can be another network’s gain. Sadly, business matters outweighed creativity and ABC had to let the show go. is something that they’re all really proud of.” People get into the business because they love making special projects. We’ve got so many amazing cheerleaders at ABC. Likkel elaborates, “They really bent over backwards to make sure that we felt supported and allowed us to pull off some really crazy things, like Morocco. There was always love and respect for the show.” We never felt a lack of love from the execs we dealt with and the studio. Hoberg clarifies, “The truth is, we have so much support from the studio and network. Meetings and presentations are currently taking place (as Karen David inspiringly reminds us on Twitter and Facebook) and despite the cancellation, ABC remains supportive of the show. It’s actually inspiring us to keep pushing to get the show picked up in some form.”

Hoberg excitedly shares, “We’re so blown away by the support that we want to reach out and let people know that it means something.

Your efforts continue to feed their passion for the show and inspire them to keep fighting for more “Galavant.” During our entertaining conversation, Likkel and Hoberg gush over the fans’ unyielding support and offer insights on the show’s “epic” future, including some imaginative ideas for Tad Cooper’s full-grown form.įirst and foremost, Galavanters, Hoberg and Likkel want to be sure that you all feel their love because they are sending those heartfelt warm fuzzies right back at you.

They have been so deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support from the fans.
