This week's Once Upon A Time is all about the melodrama. Here's Kylie's frustrated review...
This review contains spoilers.
4.7 The Snow Queen
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s got the suckiest life of them all? It’s going to take a disaster to convince anyone in Storybrooke that the answer isn’t “Me, me, me.” Each is entrenched in her own little world. They bump against one another in flares of conflict and then retreat to brood over their peerless misery. Add in the inevitable tragic backstory of our most recent Big Bad, and the viewer is left exhausted.
Let’s take this one character at a time.
Emma is upset about her parents giving so much attention to their newborn son when she was “abandoned” as a child (yes, she’s jealous of a one-month-old). Didn’t we already resolve the abandonment issues like three years ago? Well never mind that,...

This week's Belle-centric Once Upon A Time story shows Rumple in an even worse light. Here's Kylie's review...
This review contains spoilers.
4.6 Family Business
After being mostly absent this season, Belle makes up for lost time this week in an episode that treats her to a level of focus unusual for any one character in Once. Belle’s episodes tend to be stronger than the average fare, and this one keeps with the trend. Though the plotting is rough in parts, there’s some good character development going on here, and that’s something we haven’t seen in a while.
In flashbacks we learn that Belle knows Anna—and knows some things about her that she’s afraid to admit. On a quest to restore lost memories of her mother, Belle travels to Arundelle and gains the Anna’s assistance in asking the rock trolls for help. Grand Pabbi...

Joey Murphy and John Pardee have been upped to executive producers on ABC's Desperate Housewives.
Murphy and Pardee have been serving as co-executive producers and writers on the series, a production of ABC Studios. The writing team, longtime friends of Housewives creator/executive producer Marc Cherry, have been with the show -- which is heading into its fourth season in the fall -- from the start.
Along with Cherry, the duo will executive produce alongside George W. Perkins and recently upped Bob Daily.
Before Housewives, Pardee and Murphy worked with Cherry on several series, including the mid-'90s Fox comedy The Crew, which the duo co-created and produced and on which Cherry served as writer/executive producer. The pair also co-created the CBS pilots Family Business in 2001 and an untitled family comedy in 2002, both of which were written with Cherry, and were co-executive producers on CBS' Some of My Best Friends, on which Cherry was an executive producer/writer.
Murphy and Pardee also have served as co-executive producers on ABC's Bob Patterson, also from ABC Studios (then Touchstone Television), and were supervising producers on CBS' Cybill and NBC's The Jeff Foxworthy Show.
They are repped by Paradigm and attorney Michael Gendler.

Enjoy Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? "Black Eye for the Straight-laced Guy" might be next. Showtime Networks has ordered a presentation pilot for Make Me Cool, a primetime reality series in which a squad of hip African Americans helps terminally uncool individuals -- not just Caucasians -- overcome their obstacles. Meanwhile, Sci Fi Channel has officially greenlighted Battlestar Galactica as a primetime series (HR 2/3). Cool, which is a working title, was brought to Showtime by Jay Blumenfield and Anthony Marsh, two of the co-executive producers on the Showtime series Family Business. They will cast three or four people for the principal roles, but no specific plans have been set.
