Also, I wish they'd stop throwing in pointless things like Frankenstein and Robin Hood. And what makes you so sure only your opinion counts for the show? Sorry, but you sound just that much self righteous in your post writing Frankenstein and Robin Hood off just because you don't like it. Though you don't like that the show creators threw in Robin Hood and Frankenstein doesn't mean those stories, which are not fairytales but classic stories, were not enjoyable for others to see portrayed on screen. That's the thing about this show. Adam and Eddy aren't going to do fairytale stories or not do certain stories because some of their audience doesn't like it. They are not here to play to their audience's whims. They do the stories and episodes as they want to. A lot of people liked the fact that Whale was Frankenstein. Also Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland and Pinocchio aren't fairytales, but I do believe that the show did not say that all of the characters were from fairytales, in the pilot it stated that they were classic characters. It's not just fairytales, it's storybook characters. Frankenstein and Robin Hood are classic stories, they'll be known forever as the mad scientist who created a monster and the thief who lived in Sherwood Forest. I think the additions of these two characters give the show more structure and possibilities, they're expanding their character list so it's not just fairytale characters.

Sure, they are missing some fairytale characters but they'll get there when they want to. They have a good enough storyline and more characters aren't neccesary (or however you spell it). And even so, they've added a lot of new fairytale characters like Aurora, Phillip, Mulan, Anton and Jack. They've told the story of Rumplestiltskin, and there's been a second mention of mermaids so they do exist. Adam and Eddy are getting to The Little Mermaid possibly in Season 3, and I applaud them for not mixing in every possible character in one season, otherwise it'd be a mess and there'd be less ideas for the future. Be patient.

Anyway, those are my thoughts, feel free to disagree as this is simply my opinion.
