LOS ANGELES — Once upon a time, there were two TV networks that desperately wanted to attract more viewers. They huffed and puffed and finally came up with the idea to use fairy tales as the subject of their shows. But their approaches were as different as Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.
ABC's "Once Upon a Time" looks at what happens when the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) decides to punish all of the fairy tale characters by sending them to live in a horrible place — Maine. They've been stripped of their memories and only Snow White's daughter, Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), can save them.
The "Grimm" approach at NBC is to have fairy tales based on real-world creatures that now prowl the Pacific Northwest. It's up to Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), the last in the long line of creature fighters, to close the book on the evil creatures.
"Once Upon a Time" comes from "Lost" writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.
Fairy tales premiere in modern television

"The idea for the show really started over eight years ago, and Eddie and I had just come off working on 'Felicity.' We had just been talking about why we are writers and what are the kinds of stories we like to tell. Fairy tales were these really formative things for us," says

That the actors are having a good time with their characters is a blessing to Kitsis.
"Its incredibly challenging and inspiring and certainly contributed to my wanting to be a part of it. On 'Big Love,' we had an actress who played twins, and watching her process was very fascinating." Goodwin says. "I thought that I was going to take from that in developing Snow White and Mary Margaret.
Horowitz. "And then we sat down to write it and we didn't know what the hell we were doing"
Kitsis calls it eight years of writer's block that didn't break until after they started working on "Lost."
The actors play traditional and modernized versions of fairy tale characters. Gennifer Goodwin, as Snow White/Mary Margaret, welcomes the chance to play two different versions of the same character.
"The show at its core is a character show. We are much more interested in the character than the mythology. We are much more interested in why does the Evil Queen hate Snow
There are no polar bears in the opening episode, but the show does have all the layers of mysteries that made "Lost" so addictive. There's the town where time has stood still for decades. Questions are plentiful about the characters, such as who remembers their fairy tale past. Even Emma Swan comes with her own set of mysteries.
"There's a lot of movies and a lot of TV shows, but ours is so not about the fairy tale. It's a police procedural with a hint of fairy tale," says executive producer Todd Millner.
White? Why is Grumpy grumpy?
Why does Geppetto want a boy so badly he made one out of wood? We love the idea of going back and forth and kind of informing what the character is missing in their life, and that's what going back and forth does for us." Kitsis says.
Both series look to live happily ever after.
While "Once Upon a Time" will bounce between real and fairy tale settings, "Grimm" is rooted in the modern world. This will be a familiar format for executive producers David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, who worked on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."
"This show is probably for a broader audience than 'Buffy' was for. It takes a police procedural and kind of turns it on its head. It takes a storybook fairy tale every week and fractures that. So I think it's a new beginning for us; for sure," Greenwalt says. "Our notion is that the Grimm brothers are actually profilers of criminal events. In other words, the stories they told are real, and there's no separate world. They live in our world, and our guy can see them. He can see the big bad wolf and the child molester, for example."
