    I think the popularity of Grimm and Once Upon a Time (and Terra Nova for that matter) isn't so much about fairy tales or genre stories as it is shows that a whole family could watch together which rightly or wrongly many parents feel is lacking on today's schedule.

    About the Grimm 2.1 being silly/pathetic for NBC to be so glad about, I get where that comes from and joked in a similar way a few days ago, but at the same time keep in mind it was opposite a very popular world series. Instead of wondering if Fringe's absence helped it, NBC might be considering that it could have done even better with easier competition.

    Hey Alan, something off-topic: Can you please fix your RSS feed? Every three or four days it automatically adds all articles of the past few days all at once (for a second time). This is really annoying.
