I don t think anyone was surprised at Chuck s numbers. The surprise of the night was Grimm all thing

Chuck s fifth season sylvia hotel vancouver returned to 3.4 million viewers and a 1.0 in the adults 18-49 rating, down to an all-time low. Check out the clip from last night s premiere where Morgan ironically mocks baseball.
Grimm, however, opened really well, all things considered. The supernatural drama delivered 6.5 million viewers and a 2.1 in the demo. That s building 110 percent upon its lead in. Grimm ranked as Friday s highest-rated non-sports show and, in fact, was the highest-rated non-sports show that s aired on a Friday since last December. Grimm also built slightly from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. This is definitely a promising start for a Friday drama.
Given the situation, Chuck and Grimm deserve to be graded on a curve (ball). And the issue wasn t how did NBC do in the ratings anyway, but whether these shows are going to be able to perform well in the weeks to come if a percentage of viewers miss these launch episodes since they were watching the Big Game. As the new kid on the block, Grimm in particular had a lot on the line. Chuck fans, one suspects, will find the show. For once, DVR is the network s friend.
Given it s Chuck s last season. NBC had to know it was going to be low. Which is why they didn t pull the shows at the last minute So really as you said, it s being graded on a curve due to the baseball! I expected to be even worse than last year because of the situation. I can see the DVR rating being higher than normal. Only chance Chuck has for a miraculous sylvia hotel vancouver save is if once again NBC has bad ratings for it s other shows. But I think Chuck s lifelines have run out, and they will let this be the last season. Hopefully it rebounds next week a little!
It s definitely the last season unfortunately, with no chance sylvia hotel vancouver for added episodes like in past seasons. At least the writers knew this going in, and I think NBC will let it run its course even if the Friday ratings continue to be low.
I didn t mind Morgan being on board come on, he s Chuck s best friend, so you knew he wasn t going anywhere. I just want Lester dead. I can tolerate Jeff, but Lester is the type of idiot who thinks he s very smart. Annoying beyond belief.
Shocked by how will Grimm performed. Maybe now I'll have something decent to watch on Fridays.BTW,I wanna share a good news to you.My best friend ,she just has announced her wedding with a millionaire man who is a businessman

It s a shame. I checked out their sneak peek of the Grimm pilot nonile and really liked it. Too bad they won t push it back a week to give it a chance. Then again putting it up on a night against a bunch of other genre shows isn t really giving it a chance anyway.
I would also argue that Chuck aired while Game 7 was close. By the time Grimm was on the Cards had opened a considerable lead so I imagine the game lost some fair weather fans that may have gone over to Grimm. I also feel like a show like Chuck probably has a large DVR audience, especially if it s on Friday nights. I watched both Chuck and Grimm and was actually reminded of Dead Like Me while watching Grimm. It has kind of that same look, less funny though. I ll at least DVR in the future.
NBC has a lot of really weak shows. They also have a lot of really strong shows (their Thursday night lineup for example). sylvia hotel vancouver The problem is that they have this reputation of being a weak network so they have problems winning over viewers. It s infortunate too because P R and Community is quite possibly the best hour of television on the air right now.
just because CBS has dominated thursday nights does not mean the shows are of higher quality, forget BBT (which I never realy liked that much) Rules Of Engagement? The Mentalist? if you really think they are better shows than Community or P R, or even Prime Suspect, that would make you the paste eating simpleton CBS has two models for it s programming the Chuck Lorre type sitcom, and variations on the C.S.I. type procedural, and when they do get something different (Quality) they bury it on sunday nights like The Good Wife but most of CBS is crap at least NBC does try..it is the nielsen families that fail the rest of America!
NCIS, CSI, Dancing With the Stars, Hawaii sylvia hotel vancouver Five-O, sylvia hotel vancouver Two and a Half Men, 2 Broke Girls, The Mentalist, and Grey s Anatomy are some of the highest rated shows on broadcast TV, thank god for cable, because they are all crap, with a few exceptions (Modern Family, The Good Wife) everything with any quality tends to fail on broadcast TV (Friday Night Lights, Community, Arrested Development, Pushing Daisies, etc.) America indeed does love crap on television!
I agree with you! I wasn t even that disappointed or surprised with the Chuck ratings news. First, it s in a new time slot. And it s during a Friday. On Halloween weekend. While an exciting World Series was on.. Tough luck for Chuck, but this is good news because their performance should definitely be graded on a curve.
Like you said though, I m just hoping it does better in the next weeks! I ve got no problem with these being the last 13 episodes (that they re prepared for, thankfully). All I care about is that NBC airs all of them completely. This beloved 5 yr-old show deserves at least that.

Really enjoyed Grimm alot, really kept me watching, lots of twists-n-turns, all for the good. Glad NBC made a decision to bring this to TV, at least made a smart choice. Very promising and inventive to incorporate the Grimm fairy tales.
I don t think anyone was surprised at Chuck s numbers. The surprise of the night was Grimm all things considered (the time slot, the World Series, the mediocre reviews of the pilot), this did a whole lot better than anyone was expecting. It ll be interesting to see if the numbers hold week-to-week, but NBC may FINALLY have a new show that will stick around
Why doesn t every network, not just NBC, just wait until November 1st to start airing new shows. This would cut down on the amount of reruns being shown during the playoffs and World Series. It would also allow the season to go until the end of May or even into June. I think that this is smarter than what they do now. P.S.-Huge Chuck fan!!!
I remember the World Series being played over by the 2nd week of Oct. Then they had this stupid wildcard added more games w/c justified the players astronomical salaries w/c justified the shockingly high ticket prices Anyway I thought Grimm has high potential just like Heroes in its first season, sylvia hotel vancouver even tho I don t like monster movies.
sylvia hotel vancouver Actually, no Ricardo, you would be the ding bat in this discussion! At least through the 90 s the World Series WAS played in early October. Baseball is a spring/summer sport to have it run from April to the end of October is simply asinine!! There s absolutely no reason they should be playing at the same time as the NFL the NBA (well, when they SHOULD be playing)!
By the way, if you re going to postpone the TV season for baseball games then why not for football basketball?! sylvia hotel vancouver Hell, might as well not have TV shows in that case! Sorry but not everyone s world revolves around the baseball playoffs or sports in general. I m one of the biggest football fans there is but that doesn t mean I think TV schedules should revolve around our games.
I really enjoyed Grimm! The mythology already hooked me, I liked the two lead detectives, and the fairy tale backdrop was, IMO. far more interesting than Once Upon a Time. I ll be DVRing Supernatural and watching Grimm live from here on.
Baseball sylvia hotel vancouver is a valid excuse. The CW has a different target audience than the main networks. NBC, FOX, ABC, and CBS all fight for mainly the same viewers which is why they re the main 4 stations. CW isnt really competition and are on a whole different playing field. Their shows are mostly watched by teens and females. People who are going to watch Chuck are also going to watch the world series, which was described as one of the best in years btw. It s no surprise that Chuck would start off so low especially considering DVR views still haven t been considered.
Always the pathetic, lame excuses. If Chuck got killed sylvia hotel vancouver by the World Series, why didn t Grimm? Grimm had terrific ratings and was on against the World Series. No one watched Chuck because very few people like the show. Stop with the excuses for shows all the time.
@ jordan. First, the ratings for Chuck are largely irrelevant as it is going into its known final season, has a loyal cult following, etc. Who cares if very few people like the show ? Those that do are very loyal especially to the advertisers. That s why it s on FIVE seasons.
Secondly, the game last night was pretty much decided by the 5/6th inning. Chuck aired against the earlier part of the game but I wouldn t be surprised if casual baseball fans were fine with switching over to something else later in the game.
So the other networks sylvia hotel vancouver (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX) aren t fighting for female viewers?! Really??!!! For your information, my Friday sylvia hotel vancouver night TV schedule includes both Supernatural Blue Bloods. Didn t anyone ever teach you about the fallacy of stereotypes??!
But it seems from the previous night that NBC is being hit pretty hard (check Community, Parks Rec, etc. ratings slip). So it s fair to still attribute it to the World Series. Not to mention even that Chuck s date has been m
