I think a "Desperate Housewives: The Next Generation" would bring in higher ratings and viewership that continuing Once Upon a Hook. When "Desperate Housewives" was on actresses like Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher were regular staples on entertainment news show. Barely anyone on Once Upon a Time has generated the same level of attention/buzz to keep the show going strong.

One glaring advantage I see right away: In Desperate Housewives, the main housewives were fully developed characters - not just tools used to support the "fairy tale of season a/b" format. Respect your opinion, but seeing as this is Once Wikia and not off-topic, there won't be discussion of Desparate Housewives.

But I'll have to give to you in part on success and format, but you have to remember that Once is a different genre. And part of Once isn't that the main characters aren't developed as any show doesn't have fully deveoped characters until it's over, but in Once's case, they just stopped developing characters. Even claims of Once: Hook can be dashed aside because he doesn't even get actual character development post season 4a. Man pain doesn't equate to development.

Once won't go anywhere and this isn't the disccsion of that. Frankly, If they had that idea, they would most likely replace Blood and Oil or one of the other bad new shows.
