Last year, the ratings for Revenge hit new lows but ABC renewed it anyway — likely so that there would be enough episodes for a syndication package. How are things going this season? Have the ratings improved or is it time for the series to end?
Things have changed on this season of Revenge but Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) and Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) still have plenty of reasons to hate each other. The rest of the show’s cast includes Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Josh Bowman, Christa B. Allen, James Tupper, and Karine Vanasse.
The first season of Revenge averaged a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.8 million viewers. The second season dropped to a 2.2 rating and 7.0 million. Last season took an even bigger tumble and the ratings averaged a 1.6 in the demo with 5.9 million viewers.
Unfortunately, this season is performing even worse. The episodes that have aired thus far have averaged a 1.2 rating with 4.9 million. It’s the network’s lowest-rated drama and second-lowest rated scripted series (below Friday’s Cristela sitcom).
Based on the ratings, there seems to be little reason for ABC to continue renewing Revenge. If this is indeed the final season (as it’s rumored to be), hopefully the cast and crew will wrap up the series in a satisfying way.
What do you think? Do you think it’s time for Revenge to end? If you ran the network, would you cancel it or keep it going for a fifth season?
I adore this show. This is the best season now that David Clarke is on and it’s getting better. I think they can continue to keep the audience entertained and on the edge of their seats for a few more seasons. Do not cancel this show!
I lost interest last season and haven’t watched since. Far too many crisis, some that should not have been introduced, characters brought in making the storyline shallow, etc. the series is done, so dream up a finale and end it.
Don’t cancel Revenge, but the next season need to be the last one.
I have watched Revenge since it started, and loved it, but stopped watching 2 episodes ago. Since Aidan and Conrad Grayson died the plots have gotten ridiculous. I say cancel the show and believe me I think that this is the first time that I have ever thought that a TV show should be cancelled.
This show is just another example of absurdity, cruelty, the lengths people go to do harm to one another and it’s long past due for this show to be cancelled. this show never should have made it to season 2 and it is now in season 5.
This story is just going in circles. Enough.
Just getting aggravating. Sick of these characters.
Love the show but all good things must come to an end.
There’s nothing left to tell everyone got their revenge lol
The end.
Just wrap up this season nicely and it’ll be remembered well.
I’ve continued watching it but it has been a chore.. I record it and find myself fast forwarding through most of it just getting the gist of what an episode is about.. It’s rare lately if I watch one all the way through. I hope it is it’s last season and it picks up and goes out with a bang because right now it’s just whimpering along.
This is the greatest show ever! I have counted all the shows I have seen and I have seen 47 shows. So yes, in my opinion this show should keep airing. I look forward to every Sunday for this show. The writers of Revenge are brilliant. It’s hard to bring a new storyline to each episode but somehow the writers manage to do it. Emily VanCamp is brilliant in portraying all of Emily’s emotions. This show needs to stay!
1 more season would be good enough. If it needs to end this year, make sure things are wrapped up tightly and in a non-haphazard fashion.
Please do not cancel Revenge. There may have been a few shows that were a little boring but it is a great s how.
I am what u call a baby boomer so I know a thing or two about good tv.
Please, please give it one more season.
Tks
We love REVENGE! I agree with ladt year. It was slow and boring and mixed up and confusing. But, THIS YEAR’S SEASON IS EXCELLENT just like Revenge used to be. We look forward to it every week! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT. If you do end it then at least give us a good ending to it all.
Devoted watchers for years!
I still watch every week and will continue to do so. Please, ABC, do not cancel! You can’t believe the ratings. I don’t know one person who is counted in the ratings group. Who are these people?
My Sundays would not be the same without Revenge. I think this
season is just getting started….it seems promo draws the crowd.
I know other people enjoy this show because it is different
than all the other shows out right now. Itsa keeper the writers need
to put their energy behind it
Don’t cancel Revenge. Give it another year. I am sure it will get better.
I really like this show and look forward every Sunday to watch it.
I am sure the writer can spruce it up to get more excitement into it.
