Then my brother told me to watch it so i did and i was Wrong, its fucking amazing, as soon as i watched the first i downloaded the rest(eetv), im on episode 7 and it just keeps getting better. I wil never judge a tv show again without watching first.

Pretty much the same for me! I'd never even heard of Once Upon a Time and was wondering why some people on here were raving about it!

Watched the 1st episode last week and I gotta say it's a really good show - I ended up watching the 1st season (22 eps I think) in about 4 days!

Thanks to everyone who mentioned/recommended it!

no problem. has the saying goes dont judge a book its cover. probably the one that went under the radar, in the states it geta about 9m on its sunday slot 8pm et/7pm ct. came across this on tv.com and wikipedia when looking at what abc were planning to show since i watch castle and body of proof. read the plot and concept thought it seemed to be ok but in fact has the season went it was brilliant. loved the subtle twists on the fairy tales and the characters.

there were some new shows that looked like they were good but when after watch it they were poor. i like the alcatraz idea but the young blonde in it was awful. secret circle was one that started of good but felt it did not go anywhere and slow in getting there and stopped watching about 13 eps. i felt unforgettable should have least one more season where as awake should have not been made in the 1st place.

teen wolf season starts june 3rd in the states on mtv. living uk just after that. seen sneak peeks and it looks like its going to be just as good as season 1.

just came across a new canadian drama called lost girl while watching another canadian drama called king both on showcase. king is on universal in the uk its their version of the closer, king is pretty good. lost girl is syfy in the uk, also looks pretty so far only watched the 1st 2 eps on season1. also another good canadiand drama is flashpoint.

breakout kings, on universal, has been cancelled by A&E. its was passed on by fox despite strong testing on the pilot.

tron: uprising has starts june 7th, disney xd it is set between tron and tron:legacy. also a tron3 is being planned for filming in 2014.

francios berleand will repise his role as inspector tarconi from the transporter films in the transporter tv series, should be on tv later this on hbo. chris vance, playing frank, suffered an injury while filming so there was hold up for chris to get fit again. 17eps on a £48m budgt locations in paris, berlin and nice but most of the filming is toronto due canada being cheaper to film a series like this, thats why supernatural is filmed in canada and they avoid using any of the big well known cities and places.

also speaking of canada over the last few years american tv is picking up alot canadian series like flashpoint, lost girl, king etc and some are very good. its like the uk picking up all the cop and political dramas from the scandivians and france (spiral).

Watched "The Killing" series 2 episode 10 this morning and it was awesome The killer will be revealed in three weeks The last nine episodes in the series will focus on a new murder / investigation... good times.

the american version will have a new killer and suspect pool. they are creating their world using the original. just wondering if the new murder is based the originals second series.

According to the site Deadline Lionsgate are thinking about turning the movies, Red, Step Up and The Expendables into a tv shows.
