one of the new programmes which definitely did attract your attention is NBC's GRIMM, a show which brings a new, dark, look on the fairy tales we loved as kids.
THE GRIMM STORY
Grimm is a new drama series inspired by the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales. Remember the fairy tales your parents used to tell you before bedtime? Those weren't stories, they were warnings! Nick Burkhardt (played by David Guintoli) thought he prepared himself for the realities of working as a homicide detective until he started seeing things he couldn't quite explain. When his ailing Aunt Marie (Kate Burton) arrives, Nick's life turns upside down when she reveals they are descendants of an elite group of hunters, also known as "Grimms", who fight to keep the balance of humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world. As Nick digs deeper into her past, he realizes that he will have to shoulder the responsibility of his ancestors, and contend with a larger-than-life mythology of the Brothers Grimm that is now all too real.
THE GRIMM TIDBITS
The cast also includes Russell Hornsby (Lincoln Heights), Bitsie Tulloch (Quarterlife), Silas Weir Mitchell (Prison Break), Reggie Lee (Persons Unknown) and Sasha Roiz (Caprica). The show is produced and created by people who worked on HOT IN CLEVELAND, ANGEL, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and MY NAME IS EARL and it will be aired this Fall every Friday evening at NBC from October 21st. Before getting this lead role, David Guintoli has had episode roles in NIP/TUCK, COLD CASE, CRASH, PRIVATE PRACTICE, HOT IN CLEVELAND ... while gorgeous Bitsie Tulloch appeared in HOUSE and MOONLIGHT.
Uh, creepy. But strangely interesting. Don't know if I'll watch that one when I'm alone.
ReplyDeleteI'll send Private or Ricco to keep you company when GRIM is on air :)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the Amish community of Lebanon,Pa. Richard from Amish Stories.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I'll be tuned in to this one. Thanks for the trailer.
ReplyDeleteThis makes the second TV Series in my DVD waiting list. The first is Game of Throne. ... or maybe by miracle my local TV station will show it (big doubt but still hoping).
ReplyDeleteI always like things supernatural...the creepier the better :)
nice to see german/norse mythology given its fair shake.
ReplyDeleteGRIMM sounds GREAT! Soooo looking forward to this one :D
ReplyDeleteI think Grimm will be a hit.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow I want this show to start right now. I am hooked! I only hope they don't put this on opposite Supernatural. Then I will be pissed.

@Edmund

@Sam

@Clarissa

@Melsy
he he we shall keep our fingers crossed that they won't do this to you :)
I love the Grimm stories. This looks good.
ReplyDeletethe grim isnt something im looking forward to, but hey, you cant judge a book by its cover
ReplyDeleteThis is the exactly kind of genre I love to watch, but Hollywood always seems to mess up. Really hope it turns out good because I love horror/suspense/creepy stuff.
ReplyDelete@Dan
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Dan ;)
@Tony
check the red letter link for other shows, Tony, you might find something according to your taste this Fall? :)
@Chris
yep, it could go either way, we shall see, we shall see!
I'll have to check that out, and I watch very little TV.
ReplyDeletethat's why you have to choose only the best while watching TV :)
ReplyDeleteGrim sounds right up my alley, and it coming from the executive producers of Buffy and Angel just makes me anti9cpate it more.
ReplyDeletethan you will have a new TV treat to watch this Fall season, Dirty :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, another Brothers Grimm adaptation? Such pretty people in the cast, so far I'm not sure if I want to watch it though. Hmmm, Bitsie was in Moonlight? I watched every single episode of that, I wonder which role she played?
ReplyDeleteshe might have had some episode role, I don't know, haven't watched the show :)
ReplyDeletehmmm... loved buffy and angel! this could be really good. i'll keep my eyes open for this one.
ReplyDeletei really do enjoy your spotlight posts! :)
I'm crossing my fingers that this is good. Not that I need more television to watch, but still...
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That looks very interesting! But didn't that trailer show us practically the whole first episode? Just sayin'... :)
ReplyDelete@Vics
ReplyDeleteI knew you might like this one :)
And I'm glad someone likes SPOTLIGHTS, I do them because there are no news on Sundays, and plus these spotlights usually bring me lots of Google hits later on. Be sure not to miss exclusive spotlight next SUnday, since I'm going all HOBBIT and it will be huge :)
@Josh
fingers crossed :)
And hope you're feeling better.
@Phylly
