This show is trully unique and a nice change from the current police/crime/drama shows on the air right now.  I love fairly tales, so it is a nice twist on the stories I already know and love.  There are not too many shows that I have to tune into each week, but this is one of them.  Not only is it great for those of us who love the fairytale aspects, but it is a show for any adult.  I know my daughter has been wanting to watch it from clips, but I am holding off until she is older.  It is a prime time show for a reason!
