15 Best TV Moments Of 2017 (So Far)

13. Super Friend - The Flash

The Flash Supergirl Musical
The CW

Episode: Duet

Another musical moment - I'm a sucker for 'em, I'll be honest - albeit a far more upbeat one, which was a rarity in the third season of The Flash. The once super fun superhero show continued to display its darker side in Season 3, as Barry embarked on yet another battle with a dangerous and mysterious speedster, and Duet was a much-needed break from all that.

The much-hyped musical crossover between The Flash and Supergirl didn't disappoint, delivering show-stopping song-and-dance numbers, a heartfelt ballad, and a whole lot of fun. Best of all was Super Friend, penned by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Rachel Bloom and sung by Glee alum Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist.

The song was upbeat, funny, sweet, and very much fit both characters, with great references (by way of puns and one-liners) to the current storylines of the shows, and an exhibition for the wonderful chemistry shared by Gustin and Benoist. It also had tap-dancing. In short, it's a joy to watch.
