Some food for thought. Me and RG noticed that ABC hasn’t been doing much on-air promotion for OUAT recently, even though the show returns just 3 weeks from now. We literally only saw the same 15 second promo from this past Monday air just once the entire night. And yet, they’ve played the promos for Quantico and The Family plenty of times. To add insult to injury, Quantico’s promo is a full 30 seconds, unlike the one they’ve been airing for OUAT recently. We’ll be keeping our eyes out for how ABC continues to treat OUAT’s on air promotion as we get closer to the premiere. Maybe we’re over thinking it, but found this lack of promotion oddly strange nonetheless.

With it being the 100th, with all the guest stars returning, you’d think ABC would go all out. Now, we’ve got a few big events coming up so maybe ABC is saving the promo for that–either the Disney celebration or the Oscars. But if nothing new happens during those events, then it’s something to chew on.

Where once it used to be a universally praised show (there were a few minor issues but nothing major overall), as the seasons have progressed it’s gotten a lot more criticism for the messages it is sending out and the decline in storytelling. Some fans have actually left the show because of it, and if the fans are leaving that bodes ill for the show’s future.
Also A&E said they had enough material for 5 seasons so maybe this is it for the show. How can you outdo a god of the underworld as a villain?

Unlikely since all they promote is Hook. The official website is like a shrine for Hook, their twitter is filled with Hook/CS photos).
They claim they have plans for 5 seasons, I don’t believe that’s true.
How can you outdo the random villain from the Underworld? You just bring a different random villain from somewhere else.

Actually they (and Jane) said 7. But amount of material means nothing; it’s all about the ratings/ad money.
Right now I think this is just something that’s curious but not a signal that ABC made some sort of decision about anything. Should we not get any more promos at all–then it’s eyebrow raising. However, as Matt and I have said a few times, the numbers are low but it’s far more likely we’re getting a 6th season.

That is the thing, is episode 100 for who? Only for Adam, but even he knows the truth and please dont come and talk about episode codes that abc may have or not, Blu ray and DVD made by ABC clearly states S4 had 23 episodes, outside US, most of the channels that air OUAT, say S4 had 23 episodes and aired 23 episodes during 23 weeks, that means that for all intends episode 100 was 511 and ABC knows that, reason why they also dont want to cause many buzz with being 100, but i also doesnt understand why they so bad want to pass episode 512 as the 100th episode, why would be a problem if was stated that was 511, also they will have the party now when they are filming 520, when most of shows when reach 100 episodes, do parties when they are filming the episode not like 2 weeks before the episode is airing, so this is the most buzz in promotion they will have and i think ABC knows that these guest stars are not enough to cause buzz and bring viewers, now if this was the arc of Frozen ,that would have some major promos by now, bc they know those would call viewers.

February 15, 2016 at 10:17 am #316781kranenParticipantHonestly I wouldn’t look too far into lack of on air promotion. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is back the same week and that still doesn’t even have a single promo yet.

Yeah but AoS is getting renewed without a doubt. It’s in its third season; one more season and it hits the magical 88-100 episodes for syndication. Even though its ratings are low (mid season finale at a 1.3) ABC wants that syndication so, it’s not in any danger. OUAT has hit syndication already. ABC can sell it to another network for reruns and still cancel the show (though, like I said, the ratings indicate we’re getting a S6)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"February 15, 2016 at 10:39 am #316783RainbowParticipantlike I said, the ratings indicate we’re getting a S6)
Not just ratings, even JMo said some time ago that S6 would be the Last season of the show, which caused a great thing in the fandom, and then she had to clarify that was only her opinion, not something ABc said, but my thought is that probably some of the cast members may have only agreed to extend their contracts only for one more season. At this point the thing is, if this is true, will S6 be a full season or a season only with like 11-13 episodes?But that is a talk to other thread not this one, that is for promos.
But bet the promotion will start with the party, which is something that will be talked everywhere in media and not only the ones that cover ouat.
