I admit that Galavant is a musical comedy series and Once Upon a Time is a drama - but I'd describe them both as fairy tale themed. But maybe I've based that on the fact I don't like fairy tale themed shows and I don't like both of these.
I'd still class them as broadly the same genre, even if not exactly the same. And I think ABC do too - wasn't Galavant originally used to fill the mid-season gap of Once Upon a Time and heavily promoted within it (suggesting ABC think they share a similar audience)?
