The series is in no danger of cancellation. The ratings numbers aren't supercalifragilistically enormous, but they are adequate for the time that the show airs. and there are other factors that weigh in as well. Once is a very popular show on Netflix, which generates income for ABC. Also, Once is more merchandiseable than many of the other shows, primarily because of the genre that it sits on. (How many action figures for Violet Davis' charactger from HTGAWM do you find, vs figures for Regina or Snow).

Bottom line is that we'd all like to see the ratings be better, but the ratings are not the end all, be all of cancellation. there are many other factors, and Once is quite comfortable.
