The backstories on Once Upon a Time continue to become more complex (confusing?) but enough viewers are willing to stick with it for ABC to want to renew the series for a fifth season.
Once Upon a Time follows the continuing adventures of fairytale characters who switch between their storybook world and Storybrooke, a small town in Maine. The ensemble cast includes Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Robert Carlyle, Colin O’Donoghue, Emile de Ravin, Jared S. Gilmore, and Michael Socha.
This season, Once Upon a Time’s ratings saw a nice boost thanks to a vist from the characters from the animated Frozen musical film. The season’s averging a 2.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.66 million viewers. Season-to-season that’s down by about 6% in total viewership.
What do you think? Do you still like the Once Upon a Time series? Do you find the storylines/backstories confusing? Should this be the final year, even if the ratings hold up?
I love the series. I love the plot twists and different changes in the direction of the story. That’s what makes it so unique and different from all the other shows.
I’d like to see the happy ending. I’m getting bored. Let good finally conquer
There are far too many shows on television that focus on sex and violence. I, for one, am not much of a television viewer. However, OUAT has been this family’s favorite for all four seasons of the show! How delightful that our family can watch a storyline that focuses on love and honorable values that used to be evident in television programing. Please do not cancel this show but support it in all ways. When over six-million viewers are still loyal fans it would be a crying shame to end it all.
This is my favorite show and I cannot stand for it to go off season. I cannot wait for it to return. Even though it is not true it is nice to understand the characters better and why they were not nice in our childhood versions. I honestly believe I will never view them as true villains again. Thank you for keeping this show on the air. Please do not drop this show without a real ending. Don’t treat it like you did “Resurrection” for it and the viewers deserve more than that because of our loyalty. Thank you
I’ve watched all four season in 3 weeks . Just watched the finale . And now need more
One of the BEST shows on tv. Thank-you ABC for renewing a great show , with very talanted actors and actresses . Better than any cable or netflix show !!!

Best series there could be, this show of disney characters is just too much, (in a good way) always about many characters not just focused on one or two its wondeful we are loving this and hoping for many more
GREAT!!!! See ABC can do something right ONCE In Awhile.
Ya, U rite … back stories a bit convoluted, no matter I like this show and will continue to watch. “Pam” a la “True Blood” is great as Malificent … I’ve always liked her ! My opinion, thanks …
Yes keep it going love it
I must say thank you to ABC for saving one great, awesome show from cancellation. With o many stupid decisions on cancellations I was certain that a show as good this would have been gone.
I could not be more thrilled about season 5 coming. Once is still my favorite show on TV, and season 4 has been really amazing. So I would definitely be allright with a season 6,7,8,9,10,…
I think next season should be its last because the story line has been all over the place. I think they should finally say ‘The End’
I haven’t started watching this season yet but think it uses Maleficent as a featured character for the season. I know last season featured a character from Frozen. I’m not sure I like them using the latest Disney movie hit’s character in each season. I did watch both movies and enjoyed both of them. But I think the show was better before they started centering the storyline around their movie characters. I guess it’s panders to the movie fans to try to get them to start watching the show, and up their ratings. I don’t know if it’s working, but… Read more »
You’re right about ouat bringing in Frozen to catch a new viewers eye. Maleficent however was already in season 1 and sorta in 2 in little scenes.. I’m glad they brought her back now and the only reason why they did was for the whole villains get their happy endings with Cruella and Ursella.. She didn’t have a big part, but definitely more appearances in the episodes this season and connected her to a missing piece from whom we met in season 3.
I think that ABC should continue the show. I love the story line. I think that Regina should finally get her happy ending. Raise her sisters unborn baby. And maybe by some potion or spell,she is able to get pregnant. And I would love to see Elsa and Anna cone back somehow. Maybe see Anna’s wedding. Please keep the show going. And can rumplestilsken be good? I can’t wait to see.when is the with season supposed to start?
Hear Hear! Is there an end game for Once Upon A Time planned? Or are they gonna just string it out like they always do and then scramble to make a semblance of an ending. Anyways with OUAT Who is the shows main protagonist & who is the main antagonist, that always seems to be changing. What is the shows central mystery? I cannot figure that out ever since they all learned their true identities & lifted the curse. I almost feel they should have ended the show after Season 3 with the conclusion of the Frozen story arc leading… Read more »
