Well we have the evil fairy, but where was the good one who saved the day and turned the princess's death sentence into a long long nap? We miss her when we think about the story.
Also about this idea transplanted to the 21st century. If the girl was essentially comatose, the story makes no mention of nutrition or anything like that. True, it's a fairy tale transported, but if you're going to make dad look like Mr. Rogers you might want to deal with a few details.
Costuming advice; make dad look a bit older as the introduction of the fairy tale characters is a bit shaky. Who is that man? Dad or the Prince Charming whose princess failed to wake up completely? The man looked too youngish given the fact that he should have looked 50-60 years old. This should be easy. Also while I assume that he depleted his kingly savings he looks a bit too working class for a king.
Still minor quibbles about a fun show. I could say you got me thinking a bit and that is fun too, but the opening ambiguity could be solved with the statement that he's the father of the "patient", not just that the last name is "king" as the prince would have become a king too.
