Do I know you?

So. While we were in California, walking around Hollywood, Geo spotted a huge side-of-a-building type ad for the new NBC show Grimm. He pointed it out to me and asked, "Does that look familiar?" I wasn't really paying attention and just kind of shrugged, what with all the modern re-tellings of fairytales that seem to be all the rage. Then he says, "Is that a rip-off of Supernatural or what." I looked at it a little bit closer--two guys investigating urban legends fairy tales come to life. Um, yeah. It does, actually.

I just watched the lengthy promo trailer on the official site. It actually looks like it could be intriguing. Why? Because it's like CSI Meets SPN. Two of my favorite shows in one. Kinda.

But SPN has one thing Grimm does not.

Jensen Ackles.

'Nough said.

*clears throat* TWO things *cough*

Well, yes, of course. But you are talking to a Jensen/Dean girl.

And when I saw that this new show actually runs opposite Our Boys, there's no contest. How could I possibly give up on the Brothers Winchester unless it was for RL stuff.

I'm hoping NBC has it available OnDemand so I can check it out - anything genre, I'll check out at least once. (Thank goodness for OnDemand and Amazon Video On Demand - I watch at least half my "must see TV" list that way these days.)

You have to wonder about the wisdom of network programmers, when they're running SPN, Fringe, and Grimm opposite each other. *sigh*

Oh, I'm quite certain the network is attempting to cash in on the popularity of SPN and Fringe. The fact that both shows (I gather?) are successful in the 9:00pm Friday dead spot probably has something to do with it, yeah? The fact that they're marketing it as "from the executive producers of Buffy and Angel," along with the fact that it's a combination of crime procedural (extremely popular right now) and supernatural (also very popular right now), it feels more like something that came out of a think tank rather than something that actually has heart. I might give it a look-see if I can find it on-line, but it really didn't strike me as "must see."
