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. I don't think OUAT should be cancelled, I just think that abc needs to schedule it like seasons 1&2 so it would improve. I also think that OUAT is in no shape to lead a night so I wouldn't be surprised if it changes timeslot next season. They won't change timeslots, they want to leave the later timeslots for more adult programing. Besides, it doesn't lead the night, AFV does. That's considered primetime for Sunday.
