The good news keeps coming in for NBC’s Grimm. Deadline has reported that NBC has given the freshman drama a full-season pickup with a back nine order. This news comes on the heels of the recent order of two additional scripts that came earlier in the month. Additionally, NBC will be taking a big step next month by trying out the show in a new timeslot. Grimm will be airing an episode on Thursday, December 8th at 10 p.m. The show will air again the very next day in its normal timeslot and is scheduled to continue airing Fridays. This Thursday airing, though, can be seen as a test run for a future move. The network has been struggling in the ratings for several years and Grimm’s season average 2.3/7 share among 18-49 year olds and 6.9 million total viewers is seen as a beam of light on Fridays for the network. The Friday timeslot is normally seen as a burn-off zone for struggling shows (see Fringe, Chuck) mostly because most casual TV watchers do not watch television Friday nights. NBC seems to be hoping that moving to Thursdays will grow Grimm’s numbers to a place where it can be seen as an actual hit, not just one by NBC’s low standards.
I’m really not sold on this show. The writing is kinda meh, and the lead character is pretty stupid, as in not all that bright. How he ever reached the level of detective with his complete lack of detection skills is beyond me.
I’m also not fan of the show, but it seems to be getting the “general audience” which is good I think for Scifi in general.
It’s decent enough, so I’ve kept up with it so far; but yeah, nothing has been too outstanding yet. I just isn’t horrible enought to give up on. Part of that is Silas Weir Mitchell as Eddie Monroe, he’s definatly the highlight of the show and much more interesting and entertaing than any of the other main characters so far.
I love this show! I grew up reading all of these stories so its really exciting for me to see someone else’s interpretation of the stories. I mean who doesn’t love/hate/get freaked out by La Llorona ?!?!?!Awesome shoe!!
