Shows with similar thematic elements that debut around the same time isn't exactly something new -- just think of 30 Rock and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Ghost Whisperer and Medium, Lipstick Jungle and Cashmere Mafia or even this season's Mad Men wannabes Pan Am and Playboy Club. Now Grimm is appearing less than a week after Once Upon a Time and on the surface, they have one major commonality: both take classic fairytale characters and storylines and attempt to bring them into the present day. But the similarities primarily end there. Will viewers look past the promos and magazine blurbs to realize that the programs are absolutely nothing alike? Or will they be forcibly lumped together forever? And more importantly, will either last more than a season or two?

It may be a country music show, but Nashville's uneven first season left Connie Britton fans singing the blues.

Welcome to fairy tale mystery theater.

Nothing like some love for actually good shows.

Aw, I kinda liked all of the hilariously bad guest judges last year...

Nothin' grim about this.

Jeez, The X Factor did some serious damage.

From Spy Kids to... dealing human organs on the black market?

Jason Stackhouse's latest girl is... Zooey Deschanel?

This fairy tale isn't going anywhere.
