Grimm Season One DVD Details Released
The dust has barely settled on the 2011-2012 television season, but the studios are already gearing up the season box sets in anticipation of the fall premieres. Among them is Grimm, which was a major ratings surprise for NBC when the mid-season series debuted. It takes an entirely different look at fairy tales, compared with ABC’s ratings success with Once Upon a Time proving once more that it all comes down to execution.
Universal Home Entertainment will be releasing the first season of Grimm on August 7 and if you haven’t sampled the series yet, it’s worth a look. Here are the details:
OVERVIEW: Classic Grimm’s fairy tales come to life like never before in the “dark and imaginative” (Mike Ayers, CNN.com) supernatural series Grimm, from the producers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, Privileged, Grey’s Anatomy) discovers he is descended from a long line of criminal profilers known as “Grimms,” protectors who are charged with keeping the balance between humanity and the creatures of myth. With newly awoken abilities to detect the evil lurking among us, Nick struggles to keep his old life separate and safe as he becomes ever more entrenched in the ancient rivalries of the Grimm world. Available on Blu-ray™ and DVD on August 7, 2012, Grimm Season One allows fans to experience all 22 chilling episodes back-to-back and uninterrupted.
Grimm Season One also stars Russell Hornsby (Lincoln Heights, In Treatment), Silas Weir Mitchell (My Name is Earl, The Mentalist), Bitsie Tulloch (The Artist, Quarterlife), Reggie Lee (Prison Break, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End) and Sasha Roiz (Caprica, House). Guest stars such as Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (Scarface) Amy Acker (Angel), Titus Welliver (Lost) and Sebastian Roché (Supernatural) also appear in this uniquely evocative series that critics rave “offers genuine scares” (Michelle Tauber, People).
Grimm Season One is available as a five-disc set in special, limited edition packaging with exclusive “Grimm” collector cards. It features never-before-seen bonus material that takes fans deep into the world of “Grimm,” including an interactive creature guide, “Making Monsters” featurette and much more.

Why is the show described as “mid-season” when it debuted at the end of October 2011? “Mid-season” traditionally is used for a show that debuts in January or February. Late October still falls within the traditional “begin-of-season” range (typically Labor Day through November 1).
Because I goofed, plain and simple. I got it confused with Once Upon a Time, which was more a mid-season show.
