On the heels of CBS renewing 15 shows, NBC has renewed its first scripted series in
Grimm. Who would have thought when NBC released its fall schedule last May and the supernatural
Grimm was plopped down on a sleepy Friday timeslot that this would unfold? More people thought the show would be the first cancelled show by NBC than the first renewed. But that's what happens when an entire drama lineup tanks and a Friday drama overperforms. Though its ratings are nothing spectacular (average of 5.4 million viewers, 1.6 demo), that is good for Friday AND for NBC. They may be tempted to move it to another night but it hasn't shown a ton of promise when given a chance on Thursdays with repeats or one original episode.
NBC has a lot to figure out as most of their lineup is in disarray but
The Voice, The Biggest Loser, Celebrity Apprentice, Dateline NBC, Law & Order: SVU, The Office, Parenthood, Parks and Recreation, and
Smash are likely or certain to be renewed.
30 Rock, Awake, Community, Fear Factor, Harry's Law, The Sing Off, Up All Night, Whitney, and
Who Do You Think You Are? are on the bubble, while
Are You There Chelsea?, Fashion Star, The Firm, Rock Center, and
Who's Still Standing are likely goners. Yet to debut this season is
Bent, Betty White's Off Their Rockers, and
Best Friends Forever.
