Just like it did last December, Spanish-language broadcaster Univision is starting to log nightly victories in adults 18-49 over its English-language competitors who are opting for pre-holiday fare of specials and repeats. Univision did it last night, tying NBC for the top demo spot with a 1.2/4 among adults 18-49. NBC’s Chuck (0.9/3) and Grimm (1.5/5) each shed a tenth of a rating point from last week. With CBS’ dramas in reruns, Grimm was the highest-rated program of the night in 18-49. At 10 PM, Dateline (1.3/4) was down 19%. It was a down night for newsmagazines all around, with the special edition of ABC’s 20/20 anchored by Diane Sawyer (0.9/3) down 31% from last week. It was preceded by back-to-back episodes of freshly canceled reality series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (1.2/4, 1.3/4), which were down 10% and up 13%, respectively, from last week’s 8 PM and 9 PM episodes. With its dramas in repeats, CBS (0.9/3, 6.1 million) still won the night in total viewers. Fox ran a mix of holiday animated specials and a The Simpsons rerun.

I heart Grimm!
I like Grimm very much, but the 2 main cops to me aren’t as interesting as the supporting series regulars – the werewolf, the girlfriend, and the captain guy. Glad they are expanding the werewolf but I want to have more interesting scenes for the girlfriend, and the captain his story needs to be expanded. Right now the girlfriend is only being given boring scenes where she is supportive blah blah blah – they need to give her something interesting. When is she going to find out that the main cop sees the monsters? When is the captain going to confront the main cop? I hope they start expanding some of the other regular’s roles. But I do think overall the show gets better and better.
Grimm deserves time to grow, the audience and the show.
1. The title player needs a new supernatural go-to person so kill the current lycan.
2. The cop buddy needs to be pulled into awareness of the Grimm World.
3. The title player needs an education on who and what he is. Fumbling around, yet still winning is not fun to watch. Give the guy what he needs in knowledge and training.
4. How can every case he works on be Grimm Related? Show more of his personal life, ie…kill his wife/girlfriend. This will give him motivation. The aunt wasn’t enough.
I like the show, I watch it on demand. I see potential. Make it happen.
Grimm is going to get boring. The lycan is the most engaging character, scratch that, the supporting players are getting more interesting writing than the leads. Everything else is done-to-death monster of the week stuff.
i really like this show. i think character development takes time if, of course, the network doesnt pull it. the stories r fun. both grimm & once upon a time deal w/fairytale characters, but grimm, imho is darker. doesnt have the cute little boy, the love stories the way once upon a time does. i like both shows & i hope that viewers give grimm a chance & the networks dont pull the plug prematurely.
Why don’t you include the names of the Univision shows that posted these numbers in the article?
I agree 100%. It’s unfortunately dismissive of this and other media outlets to barely acknowledge what is obviously a viable economic and creative entity. It WILL bite this industry in the ass.
I agree GRIMM needs to axe the wife/fiancee whatever she is. There needs to be more of the werewolf and less of his partner — in fact it’s too bad they didn’t make the werewolf his partner in the first place.
The fact it’s holding up fairly well as the top rated 18-49 show on Fridays should allow them to fine-tune the show. It has some potential (and I also find it very well shot), but they need to bring all the pieces together.
We are losing the war on immigration.
Can someone please explain how these are good numbers? A 1.5 in the demo is how many people? The show probably costs 2 million an episode to make. Is that enough people to justify the cost? Don’t the CBS shows do much better on Friday night? I’m so confused. Would a 1.3 still be good?
Grimm needs a hot blonde guy that stands out. Everyone has dark hair and is average to below average looking.
Grimm has potential but it’s getting dragged down due to Chuck and once Chuck departs, maybe Grimm will rebound, but NBC needs to worry more about Univision now than their counterparts.
Chuck is a good example of where a show goes when you start off with a premise in which all of the principals are stupid. The clever girl can love the stupid guy, that happens. But the hero’s rivals and the villains have to be stupid and the problems have to be stupid or the hero can’t win. Bleh.
Grimm is still on? I figured that a show that boring and that expensive would have seen the sharp end of the ax by now
