I tried "Once Upon a Time..." & "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" but I didn't really liked it to keep watching (too childish i guess (not the correct word but closest i could come up with))
I also watched 2 or 3 seasons Merlin but that was not my thing either.
I know, I don't consider any of those suggestions I made to be Twilight-esque in the least.
I'll admit the portrayal of several Nursery Rhyme and Disney created characters in Once Upon a Time does make it seem rather childish, but I for one think it's an excellent series. Sure there's the occasional sappy, romantic scene but the series contains a deep level of character development I find lacking in most television shows these days. Not to mention watching your favourite childhood characters grow and develop during the series as they deal with moments of conflict, love, hatred and betrayal is rather interesting to me. I find the series does well in portraying how these previously one-dimensional characters would act and react during these situations. They also give very detailed and interesting back stories for some of the characters during the episodes as the series goes on, usually based on the actual stories you've heard or watched in life.
I'll suggest some more shows later on if I can recall them, I'm certain I've watched more than just the few I listed.
If by childish you mean lack of blood and gore however, well... Not all fantasy series are going to be like Game of Thrones.

The show was garbage, though; not only was it dripping with cheese, but it was full of anachronisms. I pretty much rolled my eyes the entire hour. I'd rather watch "Once Upon A Time," which is just a recycled plotline from the 1987 run of "As The World Turns" acted out by Disney characters (and Paula Abdul, oops, I mean the Evil Queen... Seriously, who fears a woman with a top-of-the-head ponytail?)
