Once Upon A Time!

Several fantasy television series were introduced in 2011; my favorite is Once Upon A Time. At first I was hesitant about this show and thought it sounded cheesy and childish, however, I quickly threw that assumption away. Not only do I enjoy this show, but my boyfriend, parents, and many of my friends are already hooked. This show airs Sundays at 8/7 central but you can also check it out online at http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/once-upon-a-time#linkId-Hashtags-#OnceUponATime;#OnceABC where they have full episodes, games, photos, and more.

What is Once Upon A Time about?
According to Executive Producer of the show,

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

It all begins on Emma Swans 28^th birthday when a 10 year old boy shows up on her door step proclaiming that he is her son that was given up for adoption. He demands that she return with him home to Storybrooke, Maine because he believes she is the “savior” that will break a curse. Even though she does not believe him in the slightest, she decides to return with him to make sure that he has the life she always meant for him to have. After meeting Henry’s adopted mom, who is also the mayor and as Henry believes, the “Evil Queen”, she decides to stay in town. In the episodes to follow, we plunged deeper and deeper into the lives of the characters while uncovering pieces of their forgotten pasts.
