Any watch "Once Upon a Time"

It's a new tv show, started this fall.  set in a town called Storybrook, where all of the people are really from fairy tales, but trapped into a modern day town and don't know it.  dh and i are watching it together each week, the one show we actually follow.  i'm enjoying it.  i find the writing is actually pretty good and very creative.  so many shows these days are just the same plot, throw in some sex jokes to keep the viewing up, and that's it.  but when i watch "Once Upon a Time", i feel like there was actually a lot of thought that went into the story lines.  taking old fairy tales, but adding some kind of twist and then tying them all together.
so, yeah, i would recommend it.  anybody else watching it?

	I watch it on Hulu. I think all the episodes are on there (on the free Hulu) so anyone who wants to get caught up, can!! I like it too. It is from some of the writers and producers of LOST (If I remember correctly?).

	I watch it! I'm glad to hear other people are watching it b/c I hadn't heard from many people talking about it. I do think it is clever & I like the spin on the fairy tales (like who the Beast was in the Beauty & the Beast show) & how the fairy tales are connected to each other. Although, so far I'm not caring for Prince Charming's modern day personality, he's basically a cheater.

	I watch it too. I know quite a few people that do. I enjoy it. All though there aren't that many shows that hulu has that I don't watch so . . . I enjoy this one more than most though. Some I just watch to be distracted while I do work but this show I actually pay attention too. I am mad at charming and snow though. There current personas that is. I think that storyline isn't written that well because honestly it isn't apparent why he just can't leave his wife.

	DH and I are hooked, too. But I agree with NG, Snow and Charming make me crazy.

	YES!! We watch it every Sunday evening. It comes on at 7pm here and the kids even like it. It is different and I didn't think I would get into it but I really like it a lot!!

	I love this show! DH and I watch it on ABC.com - I just watched this weeks episode. It was a good one. One of my favorite parts about the show is that most of the females are such strong characters instead of these whining damsels in distress that need princes to save them.

	DH and I watch. I agree with teh modern day PC and SW though. So out of character for them to be sneaking around cheating. It creeps me out.
