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?

Yup! My wife loves these evening soaps.

Gives me time to browse FR and other conservative sites.

The whole first season will be available on dvd by August 28, 2012.

And yes, the storyline is interesting. They’re borrowing some basic ideas from CS Lewis. A wardrobe after all. A small hint, I believe, that they understand Lewis’ larger point about the real things embedded in mythology.

Now that Emma is “in,” next season could easily devolve into a childish dungeons and dragons game writ large, and that would be bad. I hope they stay with the theme of true love as the supreme subversive power. Gold’s take on this point is very interesting, and exquisitely cynical. I wonder how “redemption” will work for him, or Regina, or whether they will allow that some just never get it, which here in “Real Land,” seems to be the case.

I used to like that and Grimm (NBC) before I got rid of my cable TV. Now I just have Netflix.

We also watch Grimm & OAUT. They are the ONLY TV shows I watch and I love both of them.

I've never heard of The Middle and just looked it up on Hulu.com. Apparently (according to the comments) hulu stopped carrying new episodes.

I also watch Eureka, Merlin and Touch with our boys, although if Touch throws in another gay or lesbian story we'll stop watching it.

Yes, I'm hooked as a viewer but don't recognize Rose Red or The Huntsman.

I watch it...like it...I think the evil queen/mayor is hot!

It's always a big clue when pleasure is used for programming. It almost always means the reality it represents anything but pleasure...

PS I think Rose Red is Little Red Riding hood but my wife insists that she is an altogether different character.

OK, now you have my attention. Those guys should be national heroes for writing LOST. We’re about 2/3 the way through, watching it on Netflix. Best series ever.

Actually, I think Once Upon a Time is the perfect show to watch back to back on Netflix. It’s too easy to miss what’s going on and who’s who when watching it once a week.

What I thought was funny about that was how Red, who turns out was the big bad wolf, had a boyfriend named Peter. Peter and the Wolf! Props to the writers for that one!

The Middle is on ABC Wednesday at 8 or 830. It is a typical family with typical family problems. It’s a comedy so it is pretty fun to watch.

Yep, watch it and Grimm. Didn't care for Grimm at first but it grew on me.

I was worried that they would not be able to keep things going on OUAT. It would have been hard to keep going with no major victories for the good guys. The way they did the season final put that to rest. A major victory that came through a unexpected twist and before there can be much rejoicing a new major danger erupts.

Bravo!
