Just a reminder that Jane Espenson's new show, Once Upon a Time, premieres tonight at 8 pm on ABC.
Blogcritics talked to Jane about the show last week. Here are a few snippets from the interview:
So this is the year of the fairytale on primetime TV with Once Upon a Time, and then Grimm is also premiering shortly thereafter. Why did that happen, do you think? Does it have to do with the whole True Blood and vampire and mythology thing, do you think?

We have all the latest from the gang at Storybrooke, Maine: Prince Charming, the Evil Queen, and Emma, along with casting news and the latest series information from ABC about the upcoming premiere of Once Upon a Time.
First up, via TV Guide, we have the Evil Queen, also known as Regina in Storybrooke, played by Lana Parrilla:
Next, the very charming Prince Charming, known in Storybrooke initially as John Doe, played by Josh Dallas:
And this from our heroine, Emma Swan, played by Jennifer Morrison:
In casting news, TV Guide has reported that Brad Dourif (Fringe, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers) has been cast as “a beggar who befriends the evil Rumpelstiltskin.” Hopefully he’ll be able to look less creepy than when he was playing Wormtongue. Playing opposite Robert Carlysle as Rumpelstiltskin, maybe the two of them will be vying for Creepiest in All the Land.
