“Once Upon a Time” has some of the stupidest, clunkiest dialogue I’ve heard this fall season, but that didn’t stop 12.8 million people with vaginas from watching ABC’s adaptation of fairy tales last night.

ABC’s fairytale drama Once Upon A Time got off to a great start last night, pulling in a 3.9 rating/10 share among adults 18-49 and 12.8 million viewers against NFL football on NBC and the World Series on Fox. This is ABC’s highest-rated new series premiere this fall and the season’s No. 1 drama debut in 18-49 on any network. [Deadline]
