“once upon a time” (8 p.m., abc): Think of this show as a fractured fairy tale. This drama imagines a fantastical saga in which Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and other storybook characters are banished to the modern world, thanks to a curse by the Evil Queen. Jennifer Morrison also stars.

“boardwalk empire” (9 p.m., hbo): The Prohibition-era shenanigans continue as Nucky (Steve Buscemi) begins to sense that his opposition is starting to crumble. Of course, he’ll probably drink to that.

“pan am” (10:01 P.M., ABC): We have a Goran Visnijic sighting. The former “ER” hunk takes flight on “Pan Am,” playing a passenger who has a couple of the flight attendants (Kelli Garner, Christina Ricci) vying for his attention.
