Howdy ATA Listeners, this week we are celebrating the return of Once upon a Time by asking the question who's afraid of  the Wicked Witch? Well, I can certainly say there's nothing that can make me go Lions, Tigers and Bears oh my more than Storybrooke's newest resident but do you want to know what's more frightening? Andy's impression of the Witch's wicked laugh, which you will all get to experience if he didn't cut it out of the episode. Then again, if the laugh was left on the cutting room floor believe me when I say it's frightening as Andy doing the laugh for our friend on The Helicarrier Podcast, Siike Donnelly left the poor guy running scared. Anyway, in addition to Once upon a Time, we've got a shorter schedule of reviews that include The Following, Intelligence, Glee, Psych, Revolution, How I Met Your Mother with an extended voicemail from Woo, New Girl, Modern Family, Community and The Big Bang Theory. Also as always we've got the Airwaves Rundown Section where Nico reviews The Walking Dead, Justified, The Americans, Elementary and Grimm in addition to giving us a watch or not suggestion on the new NBC sitcom Growing Up Fisher.

  Eli Baker stars as Henry Fisher in NBC’s family comedy “Growing Up Fisher.” Baker, a 12-year-old from Connecticut, began his professional career in musical theater.

GROWING UP FISHER is a new NBC series that's based on the life of it's executive producer and show creator DJ Nash. IT’S NOT EVERY FAMILY THAT’S BROUGHT CLOSER TOGETHER BY DIVORCE, BUT THE FISHER FAMILY IS ANYTHING BUT TYPICAL–11-year old Henry (Eli Baker) met the most amazing person he’ll ever meet in his life when he was four-and-a-half minutes old, his dad, Mel Fisher (J.K. Simmons). Mel’s an incredible father and successful lawyer…who happens to be blind. Ever since he can remember, Henry has always been his dad’s eyes and wingman, so when his parents decide to separate, he’s less than thrilled that his job has been outsourced to Mel’s new guide dog, Elvis. Meanwhile, his mother, Joyce (Jenna Elfman), begins a quest to find herself, essentially becoming a teenager in her forties. This is an unfortunate turn for the family’s actual teenage daughter, Katie (Ave Deluca-Verley), who finds herself reluctantly taking on the maternal role in the family. Lance Lim also stars as Henry’s best friend, Runyen. Voice-over by Jason Bateman. Harold Perrineau, Matthew Glave, Bill Fagerbakke, Isabela Moner, Carla Jimenez and Sam Pancake guest star. The pilot was directed by David Schwimmer. 'The series will preview commercial free on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 10:38 p.m. ET/PT following primetime Olympic coverage of the Closing Ceremonies before settling into its normal timeslot on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 9:30 p.m.

His latest creation ("Growing Up Fisher" starring Jenna Elfman, JK Simmons, & Jason Bateman) will start airing February 25th after "The Voice."
