I think Once will follow the footsteps of Roseanne.

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.
