Welcome to the ONCE UPON A TIME ...
50K Celebration

~ ABOUT THE SHOW ~

Quote:

Once Upon A Time is, at its core, a story about hope. "For us, that’s what a fairytale is. It’s that ability to think your life will get better. It’s why you buy a lottery ticket—because if you win you get to tell your boss that you’re quitting and you get to move to Paris or wherever and be who you always wanted to be. And that’s Cinderella, right? One day she’s sweeping up and the next she’s going to the ball. Adam and I just wanted to write about something hopeful that for one hour a week allows one to put everything aside and have that feeling that your dreams just may come true."

- Edward Kitsis, Co-Creator/Executive Producer

Quote:

We kept circling back to the idea of fairytales. The very first stories that you hear when you're a kid. They're full of magic and heroics and fear and joy. But we also found fairytales are full of all these unanswered questions. Like why is Grumpy grumpy? Why is Geppetto so lonely that he'd actually carve a little boy out of wood? And did the Evil Queen really try to kill Snow White simply because of vanity? With Once Upon A Time, we set out to explore those questions and not re-tell these stories but attempt to dig beneath what we all know and try to discover something new."

- Adam Horowitz, Co-Creator/Executive Producer

TESTIMONIALS

I will begin by stating how amazing it is that the OUAT board has already reached a 50K milestone. The show is a hit success and each new episode leaves me wanting more each week. This board is a wonderful place to come to for all types of discussion, with so many great posters who are willing to share their different thoughts and ideas. I often find it difficult to want to leave, lol.

In addition to such unique storytelling, the show is blessed with a beautiful and talented cast. I enjoy watching all the hard work and effort they put into making this show as great as it is and I look forward to many more successful seasons to come. Congratulations to this new cast for helping to bring to life such interesting epic stories inside of fantasy television and congratulations to our board for loving it enough to make this celebration possible.

You guys are such a great bunch of posters and I love our discussions on here. Here’s to this board growing even more and future milestones.

I’m really excited for the future of this show and seeing where it will all lead with you guys. This board is so amazing and we rock!

I'm so happy to be a part of the 50k celebration. It's wonderful to see the board flourishing for what I believe is the best show on television. It's rare for a program to be entertaining for both adults and children. Who doesn't love fairy tales and the timeless magic it brings? I love the parallel worlds being shown and look forward to watching the characters on their journey. It has everything I could want. Family, friendships, love, mystery, heartbreak, triumphs, and the battle of good vs evil. Many thanks to the cast and crew for all the hard work and for treating the fans like we're a part of the family. I'm settled in for the wonderful adventure and can't think of a better place to be than here discussing it with others.

MORE TESTIMONIALS

This is my first celebration with the board and I'm so honored to be among such great fans! I really enjoy the camaraderie among the the posters. I love all the artwork and fan videos that have come out for this show. It's a really great way to unwind after a hard day at work. I always find something to put a smile on my face whether it be the banter about Snowing babies or who gets what piece of Charming's clothing.

I also love Once Upon a Time. It's the first show in a long time that has captured my imagination and heart. Yes, it's a fantasy show, but the real world situations they find themselves in makes it all the more interesting. I find myself looking forward to the next episode as soon as the current one is done. If everyone believed in true love and the notion of happily ever after as much as Henry did, we all just might smile a little more each day.

Love everyone in here!!!

I love the show because I have always loved fairy tales. I've always felt like you never truly out grow them. I love the twist that this show has made on all our favourite stories. It's nice to see an original idea for a show for a change, and not these silly 'reality' shows. The cast is phenomenal: I cant say enough how amazing they are all together. And that truly is what makes the show work: the writers write the lines, but the cast all have such an amazing chemistry together. You could choose some of the biggest names in Hollywood and put them all together in one show, and I guarantee that it would not measure up to this ensemble.

I love this board because that's what it is: a FAN BOARD dedicated to this wonderful show. I can come up here and gush and gush about a show that I love, share my thoughts on what might happen, and have good laughs with fellow fans. Everyone here is just amazing and I am looking forward to all the many more laughs we're going to have

Normally someone would say, "I can't believe we have reached 50,000 posts already!", but I know with this board that's not the case! We aren't called the Goal Makers for nothing! It been so much fun to see how fast we moved to get to this huge goal. This show is wonderful, spectacular, amazing, charming... I really could go on. It really deserves this milestone and all the great fans too. As the old saying goes on these occasions, "Here is to the next milestone!"
