ABC does not air children's programming in primetime. Sounds like your examples don't realize that, or assumed "Fairytales = for kids!" which we know is patently false. I never said "fairytales = kids", I don't even think that "Disney = kids". Season 1 was not aimed for children, but like it or not they dumbed the show down and stripped every complexity away. In season 1 characters actually delt with real human conflicts that can't be fixed by bolts of purple light, it delt with relatable conflicts and complicated relashionships, while season 5 everything is fixed by dues ex machina loophole, characters rarely have mature dialogues, the romances are shallow and there's magic everywhere - that's what makes it immature, not the fairytale part and not even the Disney part. So basically you equate fantasy with childish. Hate to break it to you, but there is alot of adult fantasy. Cause that what you took from a paragraph in which I said that season 1 was mature? Try to invalidate someone else. I watch Game of Thrones and I watched Buffy, Lord if the Rings and Harry Potter. All of them are fantasy, all of them are mature. Funny how you equate those four with mature, especially since Buffy was after a similar demographic as Once, and Harry Potter is considered children's literature. I'll give you Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings as adult though. At any rate, you listed "magic everywhere" as a reason why the show is immature, which is why I made the comment about fantasy. Anyway, no matter how much you claim to dislike the show (or major aspects of the show), you continue to watch it anyway, so I guess it can't be that bad. XD
