The network had to do a major overhaul, because the new showrunner was destroying the characters. She was fired and the show was moved to Wednesdays.

Though, I do not foresee this happening with OUaT. Part of the reason the show went off the rails, is due to Disney using it as a gimmicky marketing ploy. Network interference, in the wrong places, is the problem. Regardless of its issues, the S6 finale worked well as a series finale. ABC should have just cancelled, and bought out the final year on Colin O'Donoghue's contract. Instead of attempting a soft reboot, that is more likely to fail than succeed.

Disney didn't use OUAT as a marketing ploy, A&E used Disney in an attempt to gain viewerships.
