Does anyone watch this show?
As amazingly cheddar as it is, I'm really loving it. Fairytale characters and all the legends that are associated with them - 2 seasons and it's not too Disney heavy.
Opinions?

I gave it a few episodes because I really like the girl from House, but the show was a little too corny for me. I understand the tone they're going for and the audience they're appealing to... I'm just not the target audience.

Opinions? What till season 4 when the first half is Frozen heavy and that's the only parts of the season that well written. |

It peaked at the Peter Pan season for me, which was my favorite. I got my wife into it as well. We struggled through the Oz season, and we gave up with about 4 or so episodes left in the Frozen season. It's just gotten way too ridiculous. It's always been cheesy, obviously, but it was a fun cheesy early on and slowly turned into a chore for us. There use to be some fun mystery to the show as well and I found a lot of that went away over time. They kind of did all of the backstory available and now they are sort of relying on the outside gimmick of whatever theme they are using.
Not one of my favorite shows ever but there were times I really did enjoy it a great deal. It was fun while it lasted for me. I still have the last several episodes of this season on my dvr, so I may get around to finishing the season at some point. For the most part I'm all done with it though.

I really dug it for a couple seasons but once they got to Neverland I just stopped going out of my way to watch it. Seeing all the Frozen stuff doesn't help my desire to catch up. Not that I hate Frozen, just not my thing.

Part of me wants to check it out, but the Fables fan in me says I'd be comparing it too much to that to really enjoy it.

I feel that the show is getting to be more Disney Princess oriented anymore. Until Disney considers doing a Once Upon A Time episode based on Princess Kida from Atlantis The Lost Empire, then I would be interested. Disney never considers Princess Kida an official Disney Princess.

Also a big Fables fan, and it's really not close to Fables, primarily because the show is nowhere near as good as the books. You can tell they used the bare bones of the Fables concept, but it's really not that similar, especially after like season 2. Some elements are apparent, like Storybrooke being hidden from the rest of the world, and some of the Snow White traits but I really only compared the two a handful of times. You're better off with Fables though. Once Upon a Time wasn't able to do what Fables has done, and I can't imagine anyone would tell you differently. I would recommend Fables to everyone. OUAT is something I would recommend only if you're out of really good stuff to watch on Netflix. |

I love the show! Seasons 1-1st half of 3 are great! The 2nd half of season 3 was a bummer, but Season 4 has had some highlights so far. The first half of Season 4 ended strong and I think it will pick back up in a big way.
I actually have been collecting their autograph cards lately. I have Regina, Mr. Gold, and a few others. So I'm a pretty big fan, I love the adventure and creativity in the show.

The Frozen season turned me off. Also, for being an ABC show with a good budget, the special effects are the WORST.
