Episode 01-02: Wednesday, 9/28/11
As expected, there was a good amount of drop off between weeks one and two. Episode two drew a 2.7 rating in the demo with 8.54 million, a loss of 18%. Hopefully this will be the end of the erosion but my gut is that it isn’t. CSI easily won the timeslot this time around.
Season average: 3.0 demo with 9.28 million.
Episode 01-01: Wednesday, 9/21/11
It was a positive debut for Revenge with a 3.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 10.02 million viewers. That was good enough for the drama to win its timeslot. One the downside however, the series lost a lot of viewers between the start and finish of the hour. It went from a 3.8 in the demo (thanks to Modern Family) and ended with a 3.0. That’s a sign that those people who switched it off mid-way won’t be back next week.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Revenge TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

Love the show. My husband and I haven’t been this anxious for every week’s new episode since “24”!! Please renew for another season!!
I love this show… Please I want to see what Emily/Amanda will do next.
I’m hooked!! I can’t wait till Wednesday for a new show. I love it. Best show on tv.
In lieu of the episode last night it appears a decision is made. Despite its unrealistic premise I am addicted to the show. It is not unconceivable that no one would recognize her. People in their 20’s retain an apparent resemblance to the way they looked as children. Yet I love watching its characters and plot.
We really enjoy it! Please stop showing reruns and renew it for another season.
I look forward to this show every week on the internet. I would be REALLY disappointed if it didn’t finish the story. It is frustrating to get really into a show just be be let down by a cancellation of the show or weeks of waiting for the next episode to show. That has happened a lot with ABC. Just saying…
This has become my husband and my favorite show. We would really like to see it continue and would be very disappointed if it were to be cancelled.
One of the better shows on TV! Please keep it coming! Hate the reruns in the regular time slot!
Please keep this show -we love it~
LOVE this show!!!! Keep it coming!!! They should be repeating episodes during the week, so anyone who missed it can catch up. But STOP the reruns in the normal viewing slot – dropping the month of Dec and these last two weeks is a buzz kill.
I love this show and hope it will continue another season!!! Writers keep you wondering what will happen next.
Love this show
Please DO NOT cancel this show or I shall have to take revenge on ABC!!
This is a really good show, we have our ladies viewing night every wednesday. please bring back this show, wednesday night is not the same without it
My partner and I just LOVE this show. We have it recorded on our DVR so we can watch the episodes a few times and every time we catch something new that we missed before.
Please, please, please do not cancel it!!!!!!!!!
