Once Upon a stupid idea for a TV show...


I don't know about you guys but I've been seeing the nonstop commercials for this new show that starts next Sunday the 23rd at 8 on ABC & it looks so stupid.  They have a wonderful cast starring Jennifer Morrison & one of my faves, Ginnifer Goodwin but I still don't think the cast will be enough to carry this show.  They have been hyping it up so much & usually when a network is doing that it's because the show needs the hype & I think that will be the case here.  Here's ABC's description of the show direct from their site:

And they all lived happily ever after – or so everyone was led to believe. Emma Swan knows how to take care of herself. She's a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who's been on her own ever since she was abandoned as a baby. But when the son she gave up years ago finds her, everything starts to change. Henry is now 10 years old and in desperate need of Emma's help. He believes that Emma actually comes from an alternate world and is Snow White and Prince Charming's missing daughter. According to his book of fairytales, they sent her away to protect her from the Evil Queen's curse, which trapped the fairytale world forever, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Of course Emma doesn't believe a word, but when she brings Henry back to Storybrooke, she finds herself drawn to this unusual boy and his strange New England town. Concerned for Henry, she decides to stay for a while, but she soon suspects that Storybrooke is more than it seems. It's a place where magic has been forgotten, but is still powerfully close… where fairytale characters are alive, even though they don't remember who they once were. The epic battle for the future of all worlds is beginning, but for good to win, Emma will have to accept her destiny and fight like hell. 

That doesn't sound stupid at all...don't worry, I'm totally kidding, it sounds ridiculously terrible!  Below is the trailer for the show if you want to check it out.  It seems more like a TV movie or miniseries, or a show for ABC Family but Sunday nights on ABC...I don't think it's worthy of all that.
