Based on some research, Once Upon a Time is following the same pattern as Roseanne - An ABC hit show that suddenly dropped in ratings and then mysteriously cancelled.

However, 20 years later, Roseanne is revived bringing back all the characters including the ones who died (Dan) and is a huge ratings success. The story even continues where the series finale ended. The Emma baby is the key to duplicating the success that Roseanne is enjoying. You can't really compare a sitcom to a drama, plus we have no idea what the tv landscape will look like in 20 years. Plus, it's impossible to compare a hit sitcom to a show that eventually dwindled and effectively died off.

Plus, tens of millions turned in for Roseanne and Once wouldn't achieve even a fourth of that.
