ABC rang in its new year of original programming with something truly original on Sunday night:

Galavant, a musical event that starred Joshua Sasse as a knight whose armor loses its luster after the love of his life – Mallory Jansen’s Madelena – gets abducted by the wealthy King Richard (Timothy Omundson).
