On Monday night, we got a glimpse of the fall with the season premiere of NBC's Grimm fresh off tons of Olympic promotion. The start of its three week Monday run before it goes back to Fridays delivered its best demo since the series premiere last October. While the numbers could have been better with so much promotion, it did get some new sampling which might help it on Fridays where it overperformed last season. Elsewhere, two new late summer shows had series premieres. NBC's Stars Earn Stripes didn't do much but didn't completely tank while FOX's Hotel Hell got off to a good start though it couldn't compare another Gordon Ramsey show that followed (Hell's Kitchen).
