I am worried..?

I don't think they're being mean. I'm one of the people on IMDb who are saying this show won't last long. Not because it looks bad; on the contrary, I think it looks quite good and I am very excited for it. It's for that reason that I fear for its future, as shows I like are invariably canceled before their time.

Also, the concept is so whimsical that I think the show will have a hard time appealing to a general audience. I bet you anything that it will become a cult show and garner a small but very dedicated fanbase. But that's the thing about cult shows: the network doesn't really care whether a small amount of people fall head over heels for it, they want a LARGE number of people to just LIKE it. It's all about the ratings, and in my experience, whimsical and medieval fantasy shows just don't do well in the ratings department.

I very much hope that Once Upon a Time lasts at least one full season, but I would be more surprised if the show garnered a massive audience than if it were canceled after just one season. Sad? Yes. Pessimistic? Definitely. But that's what the constant canceling of brilliant shows has done to me.

I totally agree. I've only seen in 3 times and i'm in LOVE!!! They just cant stop it!!!

I think it stands a good chance. It has an interesting storyline and alot of potential for future episodes/seasons. It's good for the entire family too. Only one episode and I'm intrigued!

many shows in the fall season start at this time. Grimm just did and a show called You Deserve It, begins on Nov 21st. The people on IMDb have become all about disputation and being nasty in disagreeing with any nice comments. I never encountered such rudeness. I have stopped posting there...

I love the show. Based on the premise, it seems to be a one season series to filled the time slot. I'm looking forward to see how it developes/

i think the show has a chance, because if it didn't it would not be on tv still.
