Description: “Grimm” is a drama series inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers’ Fairy Tales. After Portland Homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, “Turn the Beat Around”) discovers he’s descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as “Grimms,” he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a “Grimm.” NBC.com
Why Did It End? This show bowed on Friday nights back in Fall of 2011 and seemed like a longshot to survive going into the season. But surprisingly, it did well with its debut and ended up turning into a solid performer for NBC on that typically low viewership night throughout its run. Grimm‘s numbers did start to slip in its fourth season, but NBC kept it going through its fifth year and even gave it a final sixth season to wrap up its storylines. It was well like by its fans and had a decent run with a chance to go out on its own terms. If only more sci fi & fantasy shows were given a similar opportunity.

I’m so tired of networks cancelling truly good shows and leaving crap on-air. Please do not cancel Grimm. Or, Sci Fi network, please pick it up!!
I just want to add, the actors fit together so well.
Please don’t cancel!! This show is MORE Than imaginative it actually brings to life worldwide myths and legends
many of us were brought up with. IT shows the history of it, and of course the possibility, maybe some is real.
The best line to support this show is MONROEs line “Once we were gods”.
hello my name is Krista and I am from Czech Republic I’m a big fan of the TV show Grimm please not cancel my and certainly not just my show Grimm. Friday without Grimm can not imagine. Please renewed season 6.
Greeting Czech Republic.
Please eerie kerpppp Grimm on NBC!!!
This has always been a great show. My family enjoys it very much. Last night’s show just continues to keep us on pins and needles! Can’t wait for next week!
Please don’t cancel Grimm!!!! All the good shows are being cancelled,Constantine for example.
I’m a loyal Grimm fan. Please do not cancel the show!
Grimm is awesome it deserves to keep airing I’ve watched it faithfully for 5 years
Please, dear NBC, do not cancel Grimm! It is such a magical show, and all of the characters are so well written and acted. My family and I love every one of them – even the bad guys. Rather than cancelling, and sinking all that money in to another show that might not even do as well as Grimm, why not change your direction a little and not have Monroe and Rosalie have problems. If you do read any of the comments left by your viewers, you’ll see they are the most loved of all of the characters. We all look forward to seeing them, and their house, every week. We’ve all enjoyed Halloween and Christmas at Monroe’s house, and you didn’t even decorate this year. That simple fact might be the reason viewers have dropped off. Why, why do you people always have to change a good thing? This whole story change is okay in moderation, but stay with the original concept. I’m sure you have a lot of female viewers who have always watched just because of the fairy tale feel and the adorable sets. Hopefully you’re listening, NBC, and you don’t cancel Grimm. Thank you <3
For god sake, you don’t even have the right cast members listed. Please fix this, since who ever posted this it David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby, Bitsie Tulloch, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Claire Coffee, Bree Turner & Reggie Lee.
Corrected. It was a copy and paste error.
Please please pleaseeeeeeeeeee (on bending knees) don’t cancel this show. This is the best thing on television.
I don’t think you should cancel Grimm there are alot of us out here who love that show. Plus it don’t help when you stop it in October and don’t start it back up in January or February you will loss some viewer’s when you do that. So keep Grimm on
Please don’t cancel Grimm it is the only show we enjoy watching.We always make sure to be home in time to watch ot.
Come on, don’t cancel another good show. All we’re being left with is stupid, boring sitcoms My grandsons & I watch Grimm together every Friday..SAVE OUR GRIMM We love the cast, writing & stories…SAVE OUR GRIMM
I don’t know what you want us to do but I’ll say it here. PLEASE don’t cancel this show. It’s such a clever, smart, funny show and it deserves to continue! There’s so many storylines left for them. Plus you can’t cancel because they just ran a competition to bring the winner to their next filming. If you don’t want an enemy for life – LEAVE GRIMM ON! Run a marathon of Season 1 this summer and you will get more viewers!
Please do not cancel Grimm. This show has a lot going for it and many questions to be answered. The show has many sponsors (37 the last show). It’s the best show of all on Friday nights. Maybe Friday night is a death sentence, please move to a more popular night&/or time to give it a chance to attract more viewers. This is a National show, not many can say that!
