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?

Great show. Hope they renew it
Really love this show! I love Nick and Monroe. They keep me glued to this show. Keep up the good work!
WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS PROGRAM EVERY FRIDAY THEY BETTER RENEW FOR THIS NEXT YEAR ITS THE BEST PROGRAM BETTER THAN THE REALITY CARBAGE THEY HAVE ON THOS SHOULD BE CUT.
I discovered the show Grimm while looking for something to watch “On Demand”on a boring Saturday afternoon. To this day I don’t know why I choose “Grimm” but I’m so happy that I did. I was hooked from the start, this show is great!
My family WON’T miss an episode. We have our favorites and Grimm has joined that rank. It is fun, interesting and slightly scary all at the same time. Good characters.
This is the best show currently on TV. I even like it better than NCIS, and I like NCIS a lot.
Absolutely, I want it renewed for as long as the actors want to do it.
My favorite part of this show is Monroe.
We love watching GRIMM. Hope you will continue airing this TV series. I wait for Fridays to watch the show. Well done! Good selection of actors. More power to you all.
Love, love, love “Grimm”. Have not stayed so glued to a series in quite some time. I look forward to every Friday night with this show and everything comes to a stop in my house when it is on. I also noticed that SyFy was showing reruns. Glad to hear that NBC ordered a second season. Should it not continue on to a third season, it should be quickly switched over to SyFy.
My husband and I love Grimm the story line keeps you interested. When watching on Friday that’s the fastest an hour ever pass. Time fly when your having a good time. 4 thumbs up for Grimm.
One of the most interesting, imaginative and enjoyable shows on television. We look forward to Friday night in order to see what happens next.
Fantastic show-really enjoy it-keep it coming!Thanx.
I love this show and would be very, very disappointed if it was canceled. The rest of my family loves it too.
Best show on tv in years and years. Watch it every week and then watch it again when it’s on cable’s ON Demand.
Please, please, please keep Grimm, I love this show and actually look forward to it. I’m looking forward to see where Nick’s relationship goes Juliet, I hope he finally tells her the truth. And I’m anxious to see how Nick reacts to Capt. Renard’s secret. Will he finally grimm up? I love Monroe and his new love interest, this show can’t do any wrong in my eyes 🙂
