What do you think? Do you like the Grimm TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
As other viewers have indicated, I also watch very little tv–due to poor quality of most shows airing currently. However, Even with the Sunday evening Once upon a time, NO fairy tale candle can hold its own light in the darkest recesses of the psychological mind–As GRIMM can! I am all for NBC to hammer out a multi-season “established” contract to keep GRIMM searching for new perspectives on even more future e[isodes–much in the same way that CBS signed contracts to keep The Big Bang Theory show on air, for 3 more seasons–when all the contracts for the actors were… Read more »

Grimm has brought me back to being interested in watching television. It is well written, well acted, and really gives a detailed focus that few shows, recently, have exemplified.
We were introduced to Grimm because my son’s fiance landed a brief part in the bee episode. It is my hope that Grimm continues for several years!!!
We look forward to Friday night because of Grimm – best show ever
What is happening with Grimm? They announced last week that there were only two episodes left? I know they started early, but they haven’t had a full season of episodes yet. Please do not cancel Grimm, it’s the best!
What is going on with Grimm? I heard last week they said there was only 2 episodes left, why? I know it started early, but they still haven’t had a full season yet. Are they gonna bring it back after Christmas maybe? Please DON’T cancel it!
They ordered 22 episodes this season and the 11/16 installment will be the 12th. They must have been talking about having just two new episodes left for this year. They’ll air some repeats and then it will be back in mid-January I believe.
Love Grimm. Excellent show with great characters and plots. Keep it coming.
