The Question, Friday 3/8/13: Has NBC Fashioned a Grimm Friday Schedule?


NBC's Friday newsmagazine night has actually been somewhat competitive. So... why not? Let's replace it with a flop reality show and a wildly incompatible (yet solidly-rated) genre drama. So tonight, NBC rolls out one of the strangest pairings you'll ever see, Fashion Star and Grimm. Has NBC Fashioned a Grimm Friday schedule? That's The Question for Friday, March 8, 2013.

Fashion Star Last Season Grimm This Fall
1.6 (premiere, 3/13/12, 2.3 Loser lead-in)
1.3 (8:00 tryout, 5/8/12) 
1.6 (finale, 5/15/12)
1.56 (season one average)
2.0 (Monday premiere, 8/13/12)
1.6 (Friday premiere, 9/28/12)
1.6 (fall finale, 11/16/12)
1.68 (season two average to date) 

It seems pretty certain that Grimm will be doing most of the heavy lifting in the quest to make the over here. I'm skeptical that Fashion Star will even be able to get to a 1.0, since most of its season one aired with little competition after The Biggest Loser and The Voice. The good news for Grimm is that it's had plenty of incompatible and very weak lead-ins and has still been able to post pretty solid numbers. So that won't be as much of an issue as it might be in other cases. But I'm still guessing the show will come back near its season-to-date low end, if only because, y'know, nobody's watching NBC promos these days.

Fashion Star PLUS Grimm Over/Under: 2.45.

No entries accepted after 6:00am ET the morning after the date in the headline. If editing your pick, please leave a separate comment.

Nice bounce back from the weak headline on the last Question.


Also...uh...this is tough. I think...it's going...uh...to be...uh...(keep stalling by typing)...


Over. I think Grimm'll return a bit better than you're giving it credit for.

Spot said...

Under. Grimm returns flat or down slightly, and Fashion Star totally collapses.

Spot said...

I think Fashion Star could just reach a 1.0, but I also think it won't quite need to for it to go over, so that's my pick.

Spot said...

1.6 for Grimm, .9 for Fashion Star. That's an Over!

Spot said...

Grimm: 1.5 (but i think it will gain its strength back)
Fashion Star: 1 (this one will be going dooown)

That is still an over, although barely

Spot said...

Over. Even if Fashion Star got a .8 it would still be over.

over

Over.

Spot said...

Under, like by half a point.

Are you gonna post the Thursday ratings?

Under. While I think Grimm will be steady, Fashion Star will flop. Badly.
Grimm: 1.6
Fashion Star: 0.7
Total: 1.3

Spot said...

Grimm: 1.3
Fashion Star: 0.6


TOTAL: 1.9- UNDER

Spot said...

Under. I'm a seller on NBC until The Voice returns and the network actually has a platform to promote its shows.

Spot said...

Sorry, I was off the grid this weekend. I'll put Thursday and Friday up tomorrow.

Should've been 2.3, but result is the same.
