What do you think? Do you like the Grimm TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love Grimm this season, and I think it’s on a strong streak right now. It’s better than I remember of last year’s episodes when I first started watching. I depend on my Hopper DVR on a nightly basis since I work at that time. I didn’t have a way to watch my favorite primetime shows until the upgrade. I didn’t know I could get my all my primetime recorded until my coworker at DISH told me about the PrimeTime Anytime feature. My Hopper will record all four major networks every night on one TV, which leaves all my other… Read more »
Love Grimm and the story line. Better than all the reality shows. Hope it continues
Love Grimm, never miss it, I dvr in case I’m not going to be able to watch it. I love these unique shows beets the hell out of reality tv.
“Grimm” is one of the best public relations and advertising mediums that the State of Oregon ever found by accident. If you hadn’t heard or read some of the comments on television or in the travel colums of newspapers or magazines or bloggers about that quirky place out in the Northwest which isn’t quite Seattle but certainly is zanny, a few episodes of “Grimm” might want to make you check out the place. What you see of the city in each episode is pretty much you get in real life…well maybe not all those trick or treat characters for whom… Read more »
I hope Grimm has many seasons, this show is great
[…] NBC, a rerun of Grimm drew a 0.6 rating with 2.62 million. An original Grimm attracted a 1.4 demo rating (-13%) with 4.87 million. Then, at 10pm, Dateline drew a 1.3 rating (0% […]
Grimm is thoroughly enjoyed in our house but we record it and watch it later. We had Five shows we recorded and watched: Grimm. The Finder, Person of Interest, Sherlock and Once Upon a Time. All deserve additional seasons. They are great shows. Of course Fox did not renew the Finder so now there are only three shows we watch.
For this season, we tried Vegas and Elementary but eh! Stopped recording after watching the first two of each.
Great show! Never miss an episode. It just has to be renewed!
[…] NBC, a rerun of The Voice garnered a 1.1 rating with 3.51 million. A new installment of Grimm drew a 1.5 demo rating (-6%) with 4.95 million. It was followed by Dateline with a 1.3 demo rating […]
[…] night was a positive one for NBC so they’re touting the ratings for Grimm, Dateline, and their rerun of The […]
Keep this show on it keeps you guessing as to what’s going to happen and makes you want to know more about the creatures who surround you. Makes me want to move to Oregon!
Like tbis show a lot. Glad Hank knows.
I love Grimm! I never miss a show. I also have my best friend, mom, and dad hooked on it now. I would hate to see it canceled.
Glad they renewed it! Major star for his mother was a surprise.
When this show began, I was “meh” about it, but it improved over the course of the season, kept my interest with the finale, and had a great premier last night. I hope they keep it up!
I agree with your assessment. I stuck it out because of the flashes of originality and the show really picked up over season one. I thought the first episode of Season 2 really knocked it out of the park. I am so glad they launched early. It will give new viewers a chance to sample it before the field becomes crowded with the new and returning series. I hope it continues to improve and climb in the ratings.
