I am a SUCKER for re-told fairy tales, so I was immediately intrigued to read about Grimm, a "fairy tale police procedural" that NBC is going to be airing this fall. Here's a series intro (from Hitfix.com):
In this re-imagining of Grimm’s fairy tales in the 21st century, Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) discovers he’s a descendant of a group of elite hunters known as Grimms who are charged with stopping the proliferation of supernatural creatures in the world. Luckily, he gets a hand in sorting out this strange new (but old) world from Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), who just might be more big, bad wolf than regular guy.And a trailer:
So whaddya think? :)

Well, when NBC loses it (as they always do), maybe Syfy will pick it up, because it looks like it's better suited to Syfy's audience than NBC's. (Though . . . NBC really doesn't have an audience anymore, so maybe this will actually start drawing people back?)
Too scary-edgy for me. I couldn't even finish the preview. :)
Ruth, did you also see the video previews for Awake? I had seen Grimm which I thought would caught my attention since it's fairy-tale themed but in the end, doesn't look like something I'd watch. But on the same website, I noticed Jason Isaacs in Awake and I think it looks really interesting! Here's a link! http://www.daemonstv.com/2011/05/15/awake-nbc-first-look-with-harry-potters-jason-isaacs/
@Kaye - It'll be interesting to see how this show fares. I agree at first blush it seems more suited to SyFy, but ABC has a fairy tale-themed show coming in the fall too, so will one or both make a go of it? I'll be anxious to see how they play out. Cons: Right now this is slated for Friday night. Pros: The final season of Chuck will be the lead-in.
@Lori - This could easily end up being too dark for me too...but right now I'm still intrigued. :)
@Charleybrown - I love Jason Isaacs, but haven't paid a whole lot of attention to his new show (yet...!!). Thanks so much for the link - looks VERY interesting! And he's just great to look at anyway. :)
Sounds like it has potential!
@heidenkind - I know, I'm very curious about it - especially the "buddy" dynamic that it might have between Grimm & the "wolf" character - could be fun. :)
