Which do you like better? Once Upon a Time or Grimm?

I like them both, but I personally prefer Grimm. I love crime shows, and the darkness to all of the tales.

Now what about you?

[Twisted_Misery]

I love Once Upon a Time.
I like Grimm.

I watched Once Upon a Time for a while, but I'm kinda falling out of it sweatdrop

There's way too much stuff going on for me to fall out of it.

[Liebe Liese]

I enjoy Once upon a time. I never seem to make it in time to see Grimm.

[Kenocka]

I like them both. Both are cheesy but still watchable.

I should probably go look for the inevitable crossover fanfics.

I tried to keep up with Once Upon a Time but the lead character was off putting to me, the tough woman with issues thing...it's a little too worn out for my tastes. I know that eventually she'll change but no thanks. And what's worse to me they used too much of the Disney stuff. If you're going to tell me about Snow White don't wake her with a kiss, that's Sleeping Beauty, and for Cinderella there had better be some foot mutilation and some eye pecking at the end of her story.

Grimm I enjoy watching when I can catch it. I do love crime stories and I can see it trying to carve its place in the niche but with the exception of a few side stories the 'mysteries' are the same. Something happens to someone, oh the killer or whatever isn't human, he goes to what's his name's place for info which helps him to do his job as a Grimm. I like the twist they've put on the characters and stories (the times that I realize which story they are focusing on).

Well you have to consider that Once Upon A Time is airing on ABC which is owned by Disney...so it should be expected that they'll plug in some familiar names and looks. Naturally they're going to go by Disney standards and not the original story.

@ OP: I actually enjoy Once Upon A Time very much. I haven't been able to sit through Grimm. Supernatural cop shows never seem to stick with me. Don't know why.

[Kerashk]

I thought you were talking about the normal tales... not TV... eek confused xp

I figured as much with the ABC connection. But I still cringe at it.

[Vintage Promiscuity]

I couldn't stay interested in Grimm.
I watched the first few episodes and I was sort of just like. "Meh."
Once Upon a Time is terribly addicting though, and I adore it.

[The Chimera Doll]

Once Upon A Time.
Grimm is really good though. I enjoy both but OUAT is incredible and perfect, for me.

[Rapunzel_Bunny]

I like Once Upon a Time because it's a show about Snow White and other Fairytale characters I would like Rapunzel to be in and Episode of Once Upon a Time or even Grimm I like both shows!

[DJ Double B]

Hmm... You all make great points on both sides. I usually try to catch OUAT when I can, or just on demand for comcast. I love the show. It's adorable. But I make it priority to watch Grimm when it's on TV xDD I think part of the reason I love Grimm so much is the fact that I love crime shows. I love NCIS, Criminal Minds, etc. as well.

[Sweatpants Princess]

Pfft, I despise crime shows, they strike me as inane and repetitive and a waste of time.
So. No brainer.
Plus, I've kind of fallen in love with the OUAT cast, aha!
