Just wondering...does anyone here watch Once Upon a Time?

We do and love the show. Can't wait to see what happens next season. Snow and Charming are taking back the kingdom. Will David and Mary Margaret do the same in Storybrooke?

I watch it every week with my 10 year old, and we both love the way they’ve not only brought the fairy tale characters to life, but have shown the back story in how the characters came to be, etc.

I think it’s a great show and whoever thought of it, and created the story lines, has great imagination.

I can’t wait for next season.

I don’t need to watch make believe shows about fairy tale nightmares when I can simply turn on the news and see the absolutely unbelievable happening in realtime before my very eyes.

Great show. I stopped watching because I missed 3 early episodes so I want to wait to see if I can catch in syndication on my PVR after the season ends.

The wife and I both enjoy this show. Thought it very inventive how the dwarfs get their name. I can go along with pretty much all the characters' back story, but I have to draw the line with Red (Red Riding Hood). Red as a werewolf? Nope. I'm not buying it.

I completely agree!! It’s so nice to see a show with an imagination and something different. You knew when the dragon was slain that was not the end of the story:o)

No.

But I remember Dan Fogelberg’s “Once Upon A Time”.

Sorry to put this thread in to the ditch...

Been watching it all season, and love it too! Haven’t seen the season finale yet, but plan to do it this evening. Looking forward to Season 2 as well.

I watch it and Grimm.

Both are interesting takes on their subjects.

Glad to see Lana Parrilla in a series that got renewed for a 2nd season. Swingtown and Miami Medical didn’t.

Joing Hulus plus - free for 1 week and watch any episodes you missed. I just got done watching 1 through 11 because we didn't save them we have the rest of the season DVR'd.

We love the show you can tell the LOST guys are writing it. It will be interesting to see what season 2 is all about. Rumplestiltskin and Regina will get their powers back. Should be some good battles. I don't think there are 2 sets of characters. I think just when Charming and Snow decide to take back the kingdom is when the curse was broken and they are all in Storybrook but know who they are.

We watch it with our boys too. Another show we really enjoy together is “The Middle”. It just feels so nice to watch something as a family. Usually there are shows the kids like that we as parents have to stomach, just to make sure what they are watching is appropriate. On the flip side, there are a lot of shows that my husband and I watch that we would NEVER watch with the kids. But this show takes me back to watching “the Carol Burnette Show” on Saturday nights with my family and having a wonderful time doing it.

I’ve only sat through a few of Obama’s speeches...but, upon realizing they were all fairy tales, I quit....

. . they’ve not only brought the fairy tale characters to life . .

I like the fact the characters are nicely complex. To me, the most creative thing about the series is how they've taken one-dimensional storybook characters who were filling a story role to make a simple point (not to represent 'real' people) and made them 'real'.

The good guys have weaknesses. The bad guys have some good qualities. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend because there are more than two sides.

My biggest complaint about most of the series was that the episodes were largely 'downers' without any humor or hope. And yes, I know the nature of the underlying 'curse' was that all the 'happy endings' were taken away, but the stories could still have some humor in them. Hitchcock did it all the time.

But overall we keep watching. Seeing new depth in stories that we've all known for a long time is a sign of respectable creativity.
