As for the musical episode, I'm usually not a musical guy, though I've seen some musicals that I've really loved. It comes down to the writing obviously. and the ability of the cast to be in a musical.
But you look at some of the episodic shows that have decided to do a musical episode and for the most part its really been positive, especially if you can protect the cast members who can't sing or dance.
In Buffy, Once more with feeling was probably one of the top episodes in that show and the cast threw themselves into it. Hannigan (Willow) couldn't sing so they gave her one line in the episode and it worked "I really think this lines a filler".
I tend to trust this cast and the writing team on this show to pull it off.
