OUAT held it's own against NFL

http://www.tvline.com/2011/11/ratings-once-upon-a-time-mitch-albom/

Due to almost an hour’s worth of NFL game overrun on CBS, Once Upon a Time this Sunday was pitted against not one but two football match-ups, yet luckily managed to (mostly) slip the tackle.

The ABC freshman, which on top of all else was coming off a one-week bye, drew 10.7 million total viewers while scoring a 3.4 demo rating. That’s a dip of just 6 percent in total audience, and a forgivable 11 percent drop with the 18-49 crowd.

Interestingly, Once hit series highs in both the Teens (up 18 percent) and Kids 2-11 (surging 31 percent) demos. P.S. Who spied the Apollo candy bar that Henry brought along for his adventure into the hatch sinkhole?

P.P.S. Yes, that was a shard of Snow White’s glass coffin that Regina was sure to hide. P.P.P.S. As a tweeter reminded me, Archie’s dalmatian is named Pongo, heh.

What were you watching — cricket or football? (I’m here all night!)

LOL this show's ratings are pretty remarkable. I hope they hold up for a long time.

I like this show, but there was too much green screen stuff. It looked pretty bad in a few places.

Anyway, i felt bad for Snow, but I knew she wouldn't get her prince back that quick and easy.

That interview makes me want to stop watching Once Upon A Time now before completely disappoints me. I gave up on Lost by mid-season 3. The show had turned into a disaster. It was obvious that the writers were clearly "lost" and making up crap as they went along.

So far it seems that they definiately have a direction for the show and know where they are going. I am just worried that the show has to sustain a certain rating to survive, as it has be expensive to produce, and it will get axed before we get the answers ( and before we see Regina find her soul and lives happily ever after with Emma...sorry, those two have smoking hot chemistry and put Snow and Prince to shame!)

I know what you mean though, I LOVED Twin Peaks and was caught up in the mystery to find a stupid resolution to the murder, then the show morphed into something stupid with aliens or something.

OMG they killed off the sexy sherriff. I'm pissed!

Poor Graham. Poor Emma. That was so sad! Did anyone notice that the actor had a British accent when he was arguing with Emma in the scene when he kissed her? He was quite sexy. I will miss him. Regina is such a bitch. Ugh. Next time, I hope Emma pummels her treacherous ass. I would look forward to Regina getting hers, but this show in keeping with Lost no doubt will not have a satisfying end.

So Snow had a one night stand with the doctor. Oh well, David did go back to his wife.

Don't you guys think they'll have the Huntsman in more Fairytale flashbacks though?

Building sharply on its repeat lead-in (America’s

Funniest Home Videos

) opposite sports-driven competition during the 8pm hour from NBC’s big

Sunday Night Football

game (NY Giants-Dallas Cowboys) and CBS’ NFL overrun-boosted programming, ABC freshman drama Once Upon A Time finished as the #2 entertainment program in its slot to the season finale of CBS’ Amazing Race XIX in viewers and young adults, while beating out the Amazing Race closer with Adults 18-34, Women 18-34 and Women 18-49. For the new series’ 7th consecutive broadcast,

Once Upon A Time

qualified as Sunday’s #1 entertainment program with key Women(W18-34/W18-49).

So much for a ratings "drop" LOL

Actually it did drop in the ratings this week.
