So, this week, I was hit with a gut punch. Grosse Pointe Garden Society, the NBC murder-mystery drama that I have fallen in love with, has been moved to Friday nights. Now, you must be thinking: “Kareem, it just moved to another night, why is it such a gut punch?” Well, in the TV world, a show moving to Friday nights in just its first season is usually a good sign that the network is losing faith in that series, and could meet the dreaded cancellaiton ax. It’s too early to say if Grosse Pointe Garden Society will meet this same fate, but its relocation to Fridays has me worried as its ratings have lagged. I’m enthralled by the mystery surrounding the main plot, and it has quickly become one of my favorite shows to watch week-after-week. So, this is my personal plea to NBC. Please, renew Grosse Pointe Garden Society for a second season. While the ratings are less-than-stellar, it’s a series that, I feel, needs a second season.
