Television Viewership: We need a new episode of Grimm! I’m glad to see Face Off saw a huge spike in viewers (almost 400,000 more tuned in this week compared to last week), but the new shot Hot Set tanked on its premiere night. Any film/television enthusiasts should really give it a look because it shows how sets are created.
