Last week, we reported that NBC had ordered two additional scripts for their new Friday night series, Grimm. It seemed that the peacock network was playing it safe, waiting to see when the ratings would level off. What a difference a week can make.
This evening, the peacock network announced that they’ve ordered a full season of the TV series. What’s more, they’re also giving Grimm a special airing in the Thursdays at 10pm timeslot. That will air on December 8th and another original installment will follow on Friday, December 9th, in the regular timeslot.
Starring David Giuntoli, Bitsie Tulloch, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz and Russell Hornsby, Grimm has been the only successful new drama that the network has had this season. The Playboy Club was cancelled after three episodes and Prime Suspect will sign off after all 13 episodes have aired.
Four episodes of the supernatural series have aired so far and have been averaged a 1.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.8 million total viewers (per the final national ratings). It’s the seventh highest-rated scripted series on the network this season (out of 14). It nearly doubles the demo number of lead-in Chuck.
Grimm started the season with a 2.1 in the demo and 6.56 million viewers but declined in weeks two and three. Last Friday’s installment held steady at a 1.6 in the coveted demo and it would seem that NBC believes that a sign the ratings have leveled off. Time will tell.
What do you think? Do you like Grimm? Do you think the ratings have leveled off? Will the series continue to sink or will it rise? Is Thursdays at 10pm a better timeslot?

Grimm is dark and suspenseful and great! I, too, worried when it hadn’t been on for a while. I hope this one succeeds.
I love Grimm and hope it keeps going. I was beginning to worry but now I have a whole season to look forward to.
Loved Grimm. Was highly upset that it wasn’t on the last 2 weeks. I’m glad its back and hope the story develops more and explore the Grimms in more detail.
Fantastic, please don’t leave us.
I love Grimm, I look forward to it on Friday nights and really missed it the last two Fridays. Everyone loves a good story, sort of takes you back to your childhood, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the stories take flight.
I absolutely love Grimm. I was a little hesitant at first but after watching the first couple of episodes, I was hooked. We all grew up with these wonderful fairy tales. Having an adult twist on these timeless stories along with some well written humor is a new refreshing show in the making. It is a clever mash up of several shows into one. As with any show, it will appeal to some but not all. I would hope that this show makes it for a couple of seasons. Cannot wait to see what happens next. Love it!!!
Love Grimm…..Friday night is okay, ‘cept opposite of Fringe which is my favorite, but if I have to will record Grimm or watch on 2nd tv at the same time. Also, watch Grimm on hulu at work during lunch hour or slow day. Keep it going…lots of stories to look at and yes, do a background on Grimms and also Det. Grimm’s boss. We all know something is going on…..give us some answers.
Grimm is one of my favorite shows! I would be very upset if it gets cancelled! It’s different and one of the best shows on tv . I hate all the reality shows! Please give it a chance and don’t take it off!!!
I love Grimm! I have many shows that I watch and have on my Pvr so it doesn’t matter if you move the time slot or day I will still watch it! Networks need to start giving decent shows a chance!
Love the Grimm episodes, please do not take if off the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grimm is a Great Show for 4 to have on. It is about time that they put on a good show. I have watched 13 & SYFY for so long, and 4 only in the mornings.
Thank You for getting a Good Show to watch at night. Please do not take it off. As you did put it on at the start of the fall and getting ready for the Holidays.
Give it a chance to breath.
FOR PETE’S SAKE KEEP IT ON THE FRIDAY 8 PM TIMESLOT
MOST OF US ARE SO SICK OF REALITY SHOWS AND THEY KEEP THEM COMING
MORE SHOWS WITH TALENTED ACTORS AND STORY LINES WOULD BE
APPRECIATED. lIKE THE ‘OLD DAYS”
DON’T TAKE GRIMM OFF.
This show has to be one of my favorites on TV right now. I think NBC would be smart to move it’s time slot so it isn’t trying to compete against Fringe and Supernatural two of my other favorite shows. While this season of Fringe is ehhh, Supernatural is awesome as usual and it makes it tough to decide which will get recorded and which will be watched during it’s airing. They could keep it on Friday just move it up an hour.
I LOVE GRIMM-fascinating and you learn from it also(mythical characters) so welcome
a idifference from cops and robbers shows, so sick of criminal minds,law and order, CSI everything, good time to introduce a different piece!
I love Grimm, that’s for keeping it going.
