| Grimm Last Season | Mockingbird Lane Last Season |
| 2.0 (premiere, Monday 8/13/12, 1.8 Stars and Stripes) 1.6 (Friday premiere, 9/28/12, 0.7 Grimm (R)) 2.0 (after Mockingbird Lane, 10/26/12) 1.56 (Friday-only average) 1.3 (Friday finale, 4/26/13, 0.7 Fashion Star) 1.7 (finale, Tuesday 5/21/13, 3.3 Voice) | 1.5 (10/26/12) |
Perhaps because of the proximity to Halloween, the last Friday in October has been very good to Grimm historically; it shocked the world by premiering to a 2.1 demo against Game 7 of the World Series two years ago, and it hit its only other 2.0 on a Friday last year with the Mockingbird Lane lead-in. Another 2.0 tonight feels like a stretch, as the show was pulling around a 1.4 late in its Friday run last season, and its new teammate Dracula won't be a direct lead-in. But the upper half of the 1's seems doable. And as a show with a potential future, Dracula has gotten more promotion than Mockingbird Lane did when it hung a 1.5 on this night last year. Is it good promotion? I'm not sure.
Grimm PLUS Dracula Over/Under: 3.25.

Grimm's Friday spring run was hampered by two factors: an incompatible partner in Fashion Star and the buzzsaw that is Daylight Saving Time. So I'm not putting too much stock into those numbers.
Halloween-themed programming tends to get a bump; last year's It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown special was up even in the face of the holiday, and though the Toy Story brand helped, the recent Halloween special did way better than I expected. NBC has more of a stake in Dracula (*rimshot*) as a series than one-off Mockingbird Lane, too.

Grimm: 1.9
Dracula: 1.5
I think you're way too high.
Grimm: 1.6
Dracula: 1.2
Shark Tank is pretty potent, and 5-0 has been holding up decently, as well. Also, I question how well any show can do Fridays at 10. Blue Bloods started strong, but it's fallen to the low 1s, where shows have been for a while.
Over.
Grimm 1.7
Dracula 1.5
TOTAL: 3.2- UNDER
I think my initial thought of 1.6 & 1.4 could be a little low but I'm only willing to give them each another tenth. Under.
Over. All I need is 1.8 & 1.5.
Grimm - 1.6
FLOPula - 1.2
UNDER, it's NBC, it's a FLOP.
Over. At a guess 1.8 and 1.6
The compatibility is strong on this one. If a busted pilot could get a 1.5 then Dracula can get more than that. Grimm's level in a reasonable situation seems to be around 1.7, so I'll take the over.
Over. 1.8/1.9 and 1.4./1.5.
A reluctant under
Under. I have absolute faith in Grimm, but Dracula seems like a bomb in the making.
Over.
For one week only.
Grimm - 1.8
Dracula - 1.6
