How times have changed. Last year, Revolution looked like it was the big hit of the 2012-13 season. Now, NBC has cancelled it, according to TV Guide.
Revolution revolves around the Matheson family and others who live in a world where there is no longer any power. The cast includes Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Giancarlo Esposito, Zak Orth, David Lyons, JD Pardo, Stephen Collins, and Elizabeth Mitchell.
Following The Voice, Revolution started out very strong last year but the numbers fell as the season progressed. NBC renewed it for a full season off 22 episodes anyway and relocated it to Wednesdays at 8pm. It’s really struggled in that timeslot and this week fell to a 1.2 demo rating with 3.78 million viewers — an all-time low.
Not surprisingly, NBC has decided not to order a third season. There are two installments remaining and they will air on May 14th and May 21st. The final episode of ABC’s Mixology will also air on the latter date.
What do you think? Did you stick with Revoluton? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled the show or renewed it for a third season?
I love this show.. Don’t cancel it. One more season!
Really?!? Are you seriuos? In my opinion it’s one of the best shows ever. I think the structure of the plot is maybe not perfect but the idea is innovative and surprising all the time. It’s definitely not one of the dull to death tv series. BAD DECISION calcelling the third season. You sholud reconsider it one more time!
The reason that they would cancel a show like Revolution and not one of those reality shows for air heads is because there is absolutly no brain activity necessary to watch those lame reality shows, in fact you lose IQ points the longer you watch. I’m going to sign a petition for another network to pick up the show:)
Really sucks that NBC cancelled such a good show.
Best TV series since Firefly and they handicap it, then cancel it… Who employs the idiot that moved it to Wednesdays? The main problem with TV companies is that they never give any good shows time to take off and build a following these days, not everything can be expected to take off like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad. The TV executives are short sighted and impatient… just like the kind of people that watch all the terrible reality shows they put on instead. The TV companies don’t care about making good shows with long story arcs any more,… Read more »
You guys suck! Revolution was a great show
An action show like Revolution costs alot of money to make. If the viewers arent there,which they arent, then no need to waste time or money. The plot had too many holes, most of the acting was awful, the writing was awful. I literally dont care about any of the characters. A great show has you emotionally invested in them. They should have started the series directly after the blackout. This 15 years crap was stupid but jj abrams (sp?) gets off on his flashbacks. The walking dead is where its at. AMC is getting 7-12 seasons out of it… Read more »
Seriously the best show!! Everyone who loved it should go to The Petition Site and join the 30,000+ people who have signed to try and get it another network to pick it up!! Search for “Revolution season 3 The Petition Site” to find it
revolution is the only show i watched. The reason why Revolution was watched less was because it was move to a Wednesday and many people work and families don’t have time to watch so they will be likely to tired. Mostly i am disappointed with this channel, you should also think about the people who watch not about the money you get. You haven’t give an ending just leaving us thinking what might happen. That ridiculous
Yeah Thanks NBC for cancelling yet again one of your better programs !! Well MAYBE
SYFY will have the gumption to buy it!! I am sorry I DO appreciate the 2 years of Revolution BUT I expect MORE out of one of the OLDEST networks !! Too often you kill your BEST programs and leave the common fare tripe .
Maybe they should start canceling some of the reality shows. I looked forward to watching Revolution every week. They should a least give us an ending.
NBC is so poorly run. I was just feeling good about network TV again. Now two of my favorites are canceled . . Revolution and Believe !!! What is wrong with you Execs??? Agree with others. Get rid of the gosh awful reality shows!!!
I agree with you all, every single post! Revolution was the best, I mean it still is the best. I am so upset and annoyed that the “NBC” would do this, they would do whatever it takes to get that extra bit of money. I hate the NBC for this.
Wot a joke, this has been one of the best series I have seen in years. To cancel it now is
Rediculous, call yourselves a TV channel. Disgusted on your woefull decision.
I suppose some guy in a suit who knows nothing made the decision. Stick with it and finish what you start, great role model you are if things get tough quit, great message to send out. Should be ashamed for a big channel .
God so glad they cancel this . Second season is just a joke ,got to the point of well there’s nothing else to watch might as well watch this. Should send me of to sleep.
So glad you’re in the minority!
PLEASE~~~~~ DO NOT CANCEL “REVOLUTION” I Truly enjoy this show… You air pathetic Reality shows that No one watches… PLEASE~~~~ think of the Fans for once and not so much of the ratings & money making!!!!!
PLEASE give us one more season!!!!!!!
A truly devoted Revolution Fan!!!!! 🙂
