The Resume

    (October 23, 2011-May 18, 2018)
    Fantasy drama series
    Originally aired on ABC
    Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan
    Jared S. Gilmore as Henry Mills
    Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret Blanchard
    Joshua Dallas as Prince Charming/David Nolan
    Lana Parrilla as Evil Queen/Regina Mills
    Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold
    Premise: Fairy tail characters are exiled into the real world and must battle Evil Queen to protect Emma Swan, Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter

Why Once Upon a Time might be annoying:

    The premise sounds like a mash up of several Disney movies and 'Heroes.'
    It probably did not help that ABC (owned by The Walt Disney Company) aired this program.
    Each episode serializes a single character's backstory.
    Despite being set in Maine, the series is filmed in Vancouver.
    There are a lot of time-shifted characters.
    Coincidentally, NBC premiered its own fairy tale themed soap opera 'Grimm' the same year 'Once Upon a Time' debuted.

Why Once Upon a Time might not be annoying:

    It cast a few famous faces such as Goodwin, Morrison, Parrilla, and Carlyle.
    There are several references to fellow ABC drama 'Lost.'
    In fact, the creators were previously writers on 'Lost.'
    Several feminist outlets were pleased with the show for its feminist twist on fairy tales.
    It served as a viable lead in for Desperate Housewives's final season.
