Review: ABC's Once Upon a Time
Once
Upon a Time premieres Sunday at 8/7c.
When I was in my pre-teen and early teenage years, my
family and I would gather around the television set in the early hours of
Sunday evening to watch The Wonderful
World of Disney, the latest incarnation of the long-running anthology
program and the third version of such to air on ABC. Though it was mostly a way
for Disney to deliver cheap made-for-TV movies, repackage those that films
failed to make theatrical release, and (very rarely) air actual theatrical hits
(the last leg of the show coincided with Disney’s purchase of ABC) it was a way
for my family to watch television together when they still had a person living
in the house who was not mature enough for most primetime programming (that is,
me). And given that WWOD has been off
the air for three years now, it’s impossible for not to look at ABC’s new
series Once Upon a Time as a way to
recapture that audience. Unfortunately, playing towards that audience perhaps
isn’t the best thing for the show, as a good idea gets diluted down into
something more palatable for the “family” senses, and suffers because of it.
