Once Upon A Time....

       There are many reasons why I dislike Sunday nights; just the fact that the is following day Monday by itself is depressing to think about. However, Sunday nights provides me with the best television shows of the week. Theres a show on Showtime called Shamless, Dexter, etc. But by far my new favorite show is on ABC and it is called Once Upon A Time.         
       Once Upon A Time is a show based on fairy tale characters stuck in our world. The town, Storybrooke, MA, is populated by characters from fairy tales, who have been exiled to the real world due to a curse cast by the evil Queen. She cast this curse to get back at Snow White and Prince Charming. The curse causes the fairytale characters to not remember who they really are and they have been stuck there for years. The only one that knows about the curse is a little boy Henry and the Evil Queen.

      The story line of how the fairy tale characters lives intertwine and how they all connect in each others is so interesting. In each episode, they go back and forth between flashbacks of the fairy tale world and the real world and they explain why everything is working out the way it is. I love the show because of how all the fairy tale characters I grew up with are in a show that I can enjoy while I am older.
