Despite airing opposite the seventh game of the World Series on FOX, the series had a very positive debut. Year-to-year, NBC was up by 350% in the demo when compared to last year’s School Pride (0.6 in the demo). If most of these viewers keep returning week after week, NBC could easily have the highest-rated show of the night. It should also be noted that the debut of Grimm outperformed most other NBC shows which have the advantage of airing on better nights.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Grimm TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

[…] Grimm TV series was a surprise hit for NBC on Friday nights last season. Will the TV show’s ratings hold up in season […]
Seriously i do like the show coz is a unique idea approach i mush say ,so i hope the show continue they adventure for 2 season .
Monroe, that’s the guy’s name. He’s great. So is Grimm.
Please do NOT cancel this show! I love it. It is so different from anything on tv. I particularly like Grimm’s sidekick, the Blublad – for comic relief. I only watch it and Once Upon a Time. Can’t stand all the new comedies. (Oh, I also like NCIS, and all the CSI shows).
Thank you!
I am honestly hooked on this show Grimm I all the episode plus I still watched it again On Demand. Please don’t cancel this show I really really love watching it. It is so interesting, so different from other shows.
I find the relationships in this movie very interesting. Please continue. It is fast paced, scary, amusing, and I am hooked.
I am absolutely hooked on this and think it is brilliant – well written, hugely imaginative and brilliantly acted. As I am in the UK I am still waiting to get episodes 17 through 22 but please dont cancel this one. I hope that people buying the series pass count in your ratings
MUST RENEW!!!!! Terrific show-just kept OB getting more exciting each episode! Please please keep it going!!
Grimm has become my favorite program…Love Monroe & Nick….I will have withdrawals until it returns for it’s second season! It ended with us wanting more! Please dont’ cancel it!!!!!!
I love this series. It’s by far my favorite since Lost, and I watch it religiously every week. It never ceases to amaze me, and puts me on the edge of my seat every episode. And right now I am still freaking out about the season finale. I will be counting down the days until season 2 starts, but for now, my Friday nights will be sad and lonely without Grimm.
My family never missed a show. We are eagerly awaiting the next season!!! Wow! Loved the season finale. We will watch any new episodes and be thrilled by every one. We watch on Hulu.com though so I hope they are counting the number of views on that as well!!!!
