If you're looking for something fun and feel-good to watch next, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more entertaining genre than the musical comedy. And while the song-and-dance format has certainly been explored extensively on the big screen, TV has also offered up some amusingly memorable entries to that great pantheon, from "Glee" to "Galavant" to "Girls5Eva" and beyond. And one lesser-known but no less great musical-comedy series is available to stream right now for free on the Roku Channel: "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist."If you're not familiar, "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" is a jukebox comedy that aired for two seasons on NBC from January 2020 to May 2021, led by Jane Levy as an introverted software developer who, following a brain-altering procedure, discovers that she can now read minds as people begin performing their private thoughts and feelings to her. And yes, each cast member — including Skylar Astin, Peter Gallagher and Mary Steenburgen, among others — very much does their own singing!Given that the Roku Channel is an ad-supported free streaming service — with thousands of on-demand movies, TV shows, and over 500 live TV channels — it's completely free to check out "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist if you haven't yet, and here's why you definitely should.
