GRIMM
NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: NBC promoted this series heavily during the Olympics, and is hoping that launching its second season the night after the Olympics end will result in a much larger audience for this genre show. In the opener, the series borrows a page from True Blood, and features an animalistic shape-shifter. It also borrows from Once Upon a Time, and has one of its main characters (Juliette, played by Bitsie Tulloch) stuck in a spell-induced, memory-erasing deep sleep.
