Although the numbers appeared steady, The Grinder’s ratings were at an all time season low after last night’s episode. The series viewership numbers have seen a  consistent decrease since October 20th from 2.864 M viewers to 2.249 M viewers as of last night, November 24th.

The Grinder Ratings

Despite the dismal numbers, The Grinder is not the only series to notice surprisingly low numbers last night. One of television’s highest rated series and a main competitor among other shows, Dancing With the Stars finale episode’s numbers dropped since last fall’s finale. As stated in today’s TvByTheNumber’s article, “the show drew a 2.4 rating in A18-49, a 0.6 drop from last year’s 3.0.” Both NBC’s The Voice and CBS’ Limitless hit season lows as well. The Grinder’s lead-in, Grandfathered dropped 11% in ratings. As this is a busy holiday week with many travel arrangements, the lull in numbers is presumably attributed to this fact. I would not be                                                                              surprised to find a boost in numbers after                                                                           L+3 ratings roll in.
