It may be awful, but I can't WAIT to see this. Spamalot meets the Princess Bride with a score by Alan Menken? Hell yes.
Hi, Shirley Temple Pudding.

That's pretty much exactly how I feel.

I wonder how many episodes it will be.

Why are some of BWW's article using a photo from the 2015 live-action, 'Cinderella' film?

Just saw the trailer. Yes, it looks bad, but like something that will be interesting to watch anyway. Those are some of my favorite types of shows.

The trailer looks floperific, but I'm excited for another musical program on TV. I don't understand the scheduling at all though. It already looks enough like OUAT with songs. Why make it a midseason replacement for that show? It will only encourage comparisons that I fear will be negative.

I'm glad BWW fixed the photo mistakes in their articles.

As I understand it (and I gave up on Once Upon a long time back) ABC's original plan was to air the Wonderland spin off inbetween the two halves of new episodes of Once last year. The head honcho blames Wonderland's failure on not doing that--and he seems keen on wanting to do that now. WHat confuses me is this is a 30 minute show (which he thinks will be "great for marketing around Christmas") but apparently will "sometimes" have new 8:30 episodes too... Wha? Otherwise will they have repeats?

It doesn't look great, but I like the cast and, yeah, of course I'll watch. Sadly, the song fragments sound similar to the project that I believe instigated the idea for this--The aliens sitcom The Neighbours which had an episode (or two?) where Menken and Slater did the songs. I watched, never having seen another episode, and the songs were jokey but sadly not remotely good. I hope they work a bit harder on this, at least music wise.
