What were your other choices for fantasy on TV? Fantasy Island and Highway to Heaven? Now, you have, or have had, network TV shows like Buffy, Angel, Lost, Once Upon A Time, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Game of Thrones, Grimm, Supernatural, Merlin, Charmed, The Dresden Files, Wizards of Waverly Place, and the new hit Sleepy Hollow. That's not even counting syndicated shows like the aforementioned Hercules & Xena, Legend of the Seeker, Relic Hunter, Beastmaster, etc. So, I find there is way more fantasy around now than in the 1980s.
