If they ever reached some drastic low rating (which I doubt seeing they managed to reach lows this season), they could always sell out and do Disney Live Edition and temporarily boost ratings. Unless they kill off every major character and have Henry running around doing tedious things for some reason, I'm sure they'll be fine. If the show is getting them (the network) alot of praise, buzz, or sells merchandise, etc. they may be more inclined to keep it, even if ratings are falling. I think Once falls into one or more of those catigories, so I'm not worried about it. I'm certain it'll be fine. If the showrunners ever discover the LOST Potential they scattered, then they could even resurge into great popularity with another five-seven seasons. (I know theat may be a bit long, but hey it could be a record for ABC, lol).
