I love fairy tales so the fact that NBC and ABC both have shows on right now are pretty cool.
Honestly though I like ABC's Once Upon a Time a bit more. Maybe because it's not as dark as Grimm, or... who knows. Maybe it's the writing. Anyway I like how fairy tales are becoming main stream and not just in the way of Disney.
Once Upon a Time is clever in the way that while they take story book characters and put them in our world they don't make it to easy to figure out who's who. I mean this in the way that in the fairy tale world Cinderella is of course Cindrella. In our world, her name is Ashley.
They still connect it, ASHley, CINDERella, but it's not obvious. Another example is the Evil Queen is Regina in the real world and in Latin Regina meAns queen. I love subtle things like that. Where you don't make the connection unless you really think about it.
It's a good show and I'm glad they ordered a full season of it.
There's also Grimm this season, which I'm still not sure if I like. And two Snow White movies coming out. I wish they would come out with something other than Snow White though. It just seems overdone
