ABC does not air children's programming in primetime. Sounds like your examples don't realize that, or assumed "Fairytales = for kids!" which we know is patently false. I never said "fairytales = kids", I don't even think that "Disney = kids". Season 1 was not aimed for children, but like it or not they dumbed the show down and stripped every complexity away. In season 1 characters actually delt with real human conflicts that can't be fixed by bolts of purple light, it delt with relatable conflicts and complicated relashionships, while season 5 everything is fixed by dues ex machina loophole, characters rarely have mature dialogues, the romances are shallow and there's magic everywhere - that's what makes it immature, not the fairytale part and not even the Disney part. So basically you equate fantasy with childish. Hate to break it to you, but there is alot of adult fantasy.
