No problem, guys

Another good review:

Quote:

ONCE UPON A TIME (ABC; premieres Oct. 23)

The whimsical abandon of this comedy-drama recalls Pushing Daisies and Ugly Betty, and comes from co-creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, whose credits include Lost and Tron: Legacy. It begins with an enchanted forest and the Seven Dwarfs as Prince Charming’s kiss brings the deceased Snow White back to life. But before this loving couple has a chance to live happily ever after, the Evil Queen delivers a curse that traps them in the modern world. More specifically, they — and the rest of the universe of fairy tale characters — are rendered mortal, ordinary and frozen in time in Storybrooke, Maine. They don’t remember that they used to be storybook characters. They’re denied the happy endings all good storybook characters are guaranteed. Their only hope: intervention by Emma Swain, a 28-year-old Bostonian who just may be the long-missing daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. It is she who must do battle with the Evil Queen, who, now known as Regina, is the mayor of Storybrooke. Ginnifer Goodwin (Big Love), Jennifer Morrison (House), Josh Dallas and Lana Parrilla star in a series that’s dazzling to watch, kooky in concept, and leaves you after its first hour asking, "What just happened?" But you want to see more.

Thank you for posting that Flave!

Let's hope this show has a better future than "Pushing Daisies". I loved that show and it ended to soon so the comparison makes me a little nervous. Hopefully people are more willing to embrace this kind of show these days.

I agree completely

. I'm praying people will watch this one.

Love the review.

The problem is that it seems like alot of audiences are more into the procedurals or reality TV. I wish they would give a show like this a chance.

I think it's because they're easier to watch and don't really make you think. That's probably why I hate both procedurals and reality shows

. It's a pity that's what people watch the most these days.

Aww, let's not worry about that for now

. Maybe the bigger part of the promotion will come later? Since the show is premiering about a month later than the usual?

*OldHollywoodStarlet* · 09-03-2011, 12:51 PM

Oh I saw that. Didn't quiet understand how it worked.

Anyway from your reaction this show isn't being promoted much...yet. I think this September we will see quiet a bit of it. Remember it doesn't premiere until October so it's reasonable that they haven't done anything yet. With their shows back on in September they can show promos then and really kick start it. I think it's a good idea because people will be watching the returning shows and therefore have a better chance to get a glimpse of the show. Hopefully it will get them interested.

Then you and I are the same because I don't like them either.

It's just a shame, because then there's nothing for us folk to watch!

I'm going to try not to be discouraged by that link ...
