Neither one is super riveting, but if I was going to watch one, it would be **Grimm**. It’s a fun Friday night veg out show. I hulued **Once…** but I only got through to halfway of the second episode. I think I really dislike Jennifer Morrison that much.

I’ve stopped watching Once Upon a Time. Too damn slow.

I like them both, but I’m a sucker for fairytales. Also, I’m directing a stage play of a fairytale in the spring, and I’m fascinated by Rumplestiltskin’s makeup. Every time I see him, I’m itching to see it up close and figure out how they do it.

I like them both so I chose that option.

However if you forced me to watch only one of them or you’d shoot my dog or something I’d choose Once Upon a Time

My impression is that Once Upon A Time is more kiddie-friendly while Grimm is a little more grown-up. For that reason, I prefer Grimm. Also, Once Upon A Time keeps jumping back and forth between the two worlds, which is a little annoying.
