Once Upon a Time
ABC Sunday, October 23 at 8 pm (ET)
Starring: Jennifer Morrison (House, How I Met Your Mother, Star Trek), Ginnifer Goodwin (Big Love, He’s Just Not That Into You, Something Borrowed), Joshua Dallas (Thor), Lana Parrilla (24, Spin City), Jamie Dornan (Marie Antoinette), Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting), Giancarlo Esposito (Gus on Breaking Bad), Alan Dale (24, The O.C., Ugly Betty, LOST, and The Killing).
Plot: Classic fairy tales are set in the present day in a town that’s a parallel world to the fairy tale world. The fairy tale characters obviously have important shoes to fill/missions to complete, but they don’t know who they are.
Why We Are Excited: We like fantasy, and it has plenty of familiar faces. This looks pretty epic for a fairy tale show. We were pretty revved up by the trailer. Also, it looks unique and we like the premise. It looks a lot better than the procedurally minded Grimm. Finally, it's from the writers of LOST. We will watch anything they write.
Why We Are Not Excited: A girl has the last name “Swan.” Unless she turns out to be the swan princess, that surname is lame. Also, the show might be too weird. If it’s good, it might get cancelled.
Preview:
Anticipation Score: 9/10

It looks too conceptual to have long-term appeal on a broadcast network, but I'm with you: I'll follow the LOST writers anywhere!
ReplyDeleteThe LOST writers need to be given free reign to do anything they want for however long they want. It might get a little TOO geeky/complicated/drawn out, but we'd still love it.
ReplyDeleteThe show looks pretty awesome...wish it had a better (or tv-like) title, though.
ReplyDelete...glad that this is a Sunday show. I feel like I can add any show on Sundays. :)
You're right, Sunday is perfect. And yeah, agree about the title.
ReplyDeleteIMDB has the first episode up. Woot! Also, facebook has 300,000+ followers :S
ReplyDeleteThis is true! Thanks for the heads up. We'll watch it tomorrow.
