Yeah, Once Upon a Time is really, really good. I own the whole first season on dvd, and I'm watching the season 2 episodes as they air, since one of the few channels I actually get is in fact ABC, which the show is on. My parents watch it, too, and used to like it, but they seem not to be enjoying the second season. They find it soap-opera-ish and different from the first season; I'm pretty sure they only still watch it because they know I haven't stopped liking it.

@ Fimber, I disagree, mostly, about British shows being less well-written than American ones. Amercian shows can be pretty, excuse me, but, well, crappy. Canadian shows tend to be a little better (aka, Are you Afraid of the Dark, Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, Heartland, etc... but even they have their major downfalls, as they were responsable for that horrid Degrassi series my cousins watched). Generally, I like British TV better: Merlin, Jeeves and Wooster, Robin Hood, As time goes by, keeping up appearnces etc... Of course there are exceptions to the rule. For example, the British show My Parents are Aliens is cute, but it can't hold a candle in humour to the Amercian show, Third Rock from the Sun.

Also, if someone is looking for a good amercian show to watch, I liked Revolution quite a bit. Good for anyone who's a fan of Hunger Games. I hear it's coming back to TV in March along with Grimm...
