NBC Moves ‘Grosse Pointe Garden Society’ To Fridays: Should Fans Be Worried?

deadline.com:

NBC is making a scheduling change, taking new drama Grosse Pointe Garden Society out of its Sunday 10 PM slot and putting it at 8 PM Fridays, beginning April 4.

The decision comes three episodes into Grosse Pointe‘s run. The swiftness of NBC’s action is understandable as Grosse Pointe has been drawing very low linear ratings, with the series sitting at the bottom of all of the network’s series in both total audience and adults 18-49, averaging just over a million Live+Same Day viewers in Live+ Same Day the last two weeks.

While a move to the low-trafficked Friday night for a new broadcast series would’ve meant a certain death back in the day, the rules are different in the streaming age.

With its serialized mystery-themed storytelling, Grosse Pointe, from the Good Girls duo of Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs, was always considered better suited for streaming.
