Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - GrimmForum - 05-12-2013 NBC just released their Fall and Mid-Season schedule for 2013/2014 and it looks like Grimm will be moving back to Fridays! I think it's a good move for Grimm, as it has done well on Fridays. Plus, I think it has a better chance of getting more Seasons on Fridays without stiff competition. On top of that, no more Fashion Star and Grimm pairing. NBC will be airing Dateline at 8pm, Grimm at 9pm, then Dracula and Crossbones at 10pm. (Dracula and Crossbones are both 10-episode orders). (On a side note, a lot of people think Revolution will be cancelled next year because it's being moved to Wednesdays without The Voice as its lead.) Here is the Schedule released by NBC, and information on the shows Dracula and Crossbones.

RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - FräuleinWunderlich - 05-13-2013 Good! Thanks Grimm it is tuesday sounds stupid RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - pale boy - 05-13-2013 Fridays are going to be Grimm again! Those other shows sound interesting too. Much better pairings with Grimm than reality shows. RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - Lou - 05-13-2013 I hope those other shows are good. they have some good actors. RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - Martyr - 05-14-2013 Thank Grimm it's Friday! RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - HellJacket - 05-21-2013 I just really want to voice my opposition to the Friday move. Despite what people say regarding Grimm benefiting from being on Friday, let me describe the problem. There's really no way to show whether Grimm succeeded because the show premiered on Friday versus Grimm succeeding in spite of Grimm being on Friday. Any position is ultimately speculation, because we can't go back in time and show the alternate course of history. However, let me eliminate the usual arguments for Grimm being on Friday. 1. Grimm benefits from reduced competition by being on Friday - This isn't the 1990s, or 1980s, or 1970s. The majority of competition for any show isn't from other broadcast channels. It's from cable or people doing something else with their spare time now that they can DVR any show at will. Based on comparing Grimm's ratings from Friday with those on Monday earlier this year and from the episodes following the Voice, there really isn't that big a difference between what Grimm gets on Friday versus what Grimm would get on a weekly night. 2. There are lower expectations with Grimm being on Friday - This is really hard to prove in truth. There just isn't as much data for new shows on Friday. Most of the shows that get sent to the Friday Night Death slot are shows that are only being renewed for syndication purposes (see, e.g., Fringe), have established fan bases (i.e., CSI:NY), or because the channel doesn't want to spend money developing a new series (see, e.g., Touch). The few Friday renewals would likely get renewed with any ratings. Hell, CW renewed a Friday show (Nikita) that was averaging a 0.3 in the 18-49 demo this year solely for slightly better syndication purposes. Personally, I would have liked Grimm to be on another night so that the show may actually get a good lead-in, which is unlikely ever going to be the case (I don't consider the 1.2/1.3 demo that Dateline will average next year to be a good lead-in). However, since Grimm will be on Friday once again, it's past the point for it to make sense for NBC to move the show to another night. Oh well. RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - aguraakemi - 05-22-2013 Whichever day is fine as long as I get my weekly dose of Grimm RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - Sable677 - 06-09-2013 I like having Grimm on Fridays so I am happy with this. RE: Grimm moves back to Fridays for Season 3 - grimmfreak - 06-09-2013 I think all this hemming and hawing about what night the show is on is silly, as long as I get my Grimm, no matter what night it's on, I'm good. |
