Polls are very important when it comes to shows. It tells the writers/producers what they like and what they don't like. The Viewers are the ones who hold the greatest say so on rather a show gets renewed or canceled. Don't forget this.
Question: "Why was Grimm Canceled?"
Answer: "A decline in viewership"
Who are these so called viewers?
These so called viewers are those nobodies you claim have no say so.
I have to agree with you N.W. The polls and opinions from viewers are very important, if not, most important. Thats what makes a show run and can run further with many seasons as long as viewership stays high or gets higher. The higher the viewers, the higher the rating and more to long term profits.
I will like here to add - Are some of you here not aware that from S1 to S6, the Grimm makers and NBC do have pro specialist of survey teams who work specifically on this by gathering numbers and figures and opinions from the viewers (being key)? Just because G&K came out openly to do thier own survey in S6 does not mean they were never on track with this. It does not mean that they have not been monitoring before in past seasons, they certainly have, only these people you do not see or hear of as they could be independant parties on contract for the Marketing Survey Team.
So those saying that having a viewers survey ("the NoBodies") is a wrong way to go and reason as to why the show dropped are not correct. With the marketing sense - you must have your foundation plans for point of sale, it will be so wrong for them not to do this.
When you sell any brand, you survey to see how it sells, or why its not selling and work your POS on areas with least sales to improve it in various ways, Who buys the brand? - Consumers, just like who watches thier shows? - Viewers. It is general in marketing 101.
