Fables Coming To Television?!?

I love Fables.  It's a masterpiece of a comic series.  What is Fables about?  It's basically your fairy tale characters brought into the real world.  This isn't a comic for kids.  There's not always a happily ever after.  There's war, violence and death.  Bill Willingham has done an amazing job creating this world of characters and showing a more human side to them.  I highly recommend picking up the trades and seeing what this is about.

What has me both excited and scared is the Hollywood Reporter has announced that Fables may be coming to television as an hour long program at ABC.  A Fables TV series would be cool.  There's just way too much to tell in a movie or three.  It needs a longer format.  What makes me scared is the idea of it being on network television.  As I mentioned, it's not something for the kids.  I'd hate to see it watered down or compromised just to appease some network execs.
