Weasel2000 and I are watching too (at my request). We are muuuuuuch further behind than you are (funny how we seem to have less tv time than we used to). I've wavered between thinking it was weak and getting into it... but the more I see, the better I like it. Glad to hear that you are enjoying also (and to know that it keeps getting better).

I'm not too surprised they are sticking with very Disney-esque fairy tales. This is a network TV audience they're aiming for (crud, I've just labeled myself an elitist, haven't I?) But my point being, if you're going to do "familiar-fairy-tales-with-a-twist" it is helpful if you start with base material that you can count on pretty much everyone knowing. Disappointing, perhaps, but not surprising.
