Archie, you are not getting it. The fact the show is titled "Once Upon a Time" doesn't imply it only means to reference the Snow White fairytale. But the fact Snow White is a big part of the show is because the backstory of the plot involves her as one of the main people indirectly involved in the eventual casting of the Dark Curse. Just think for a moment about what this show is about. It's about the Evil Queen and her Dark Curse. Where did she get it from? Rumplestiltskin. Now think about the Evil Queen's past. She has a complicated history and feud with Snow White. Once Upon a Time is showing through episodes the backstories in involved in that. Now think about the people in the Enchanted Forest Snow White is involved with. Prince Charming, Red, the dwarves, Cinderella, the Huntsman. It's showing through the Evil Queen's back story interlinked with Snow White's, and through Snow White we get to see the other characters that are interlinked to the story as well. I really don't find that Snow hogs the show. I think that the main characters, Regina, Emma, Gold AND Snow all get about the same amount of air time, with David and Henry close behind them.

Just my tuppence worth.
