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?

I think it should continue
I love Revenge, it full of twist and turn’s, you never know what’s going to happen, but I hope Victoria and Conrad get what’s coming to them. Can’t wait to see Jack’s reaction when Emily tells him she is Amanda, hope he takes her back, but I have my doubts.. Anyway love the show and hope it’s on for a second season, because I have friends whom I’ve told to watch the reruns. Thanks for a great show.
i really Revenge and i am stuck to it! I wish they will continue with Season 2!
Such creative writing! This show just keeps getting better and better! Can’t wait for Wednesdays now!!!!
I LOVE this show. I will be upset if they cancel. It is original, and the actors are great. Way to go Revenge. Gives me some wonderful ideas(:
Love Love Love this show. Because I love this show it’ll end up being cancelled, that’s just how it works with me. I would love to see it renewed, though.
I love this show it has to stay…i would love to see emily and nolan hook up it will be an interesting twist
wow i love this show just a suggestion nolan ross and emily shud hook up……it will be really interesting
I love Revenge, but I lost interest after this huge hiatus :/ I just hope that the show keep being first in its timeslot.
I love this show. I’m so ready for the second season. Loving the plot and all the actors and actresses.
Revenge is here to stay, especially after they drew huge numbers for the return episode, ‘Doubt’. I almost missed it too, after a last second emergency (fortunately it turned out to be minor) pulled me away just as the show was starting. Realizing later that I hadn’t set a DVR timer, I thought for sure I was going to hear some big spoiler the next day before I could catch up. Luckily, my new whole-home DVR, the Hopper, saved the day! When I got back, I remembered my Hopper had (and still has) PrimeTime Anytime enabled, so it automatically recorded… Read more »
Loved the recap. Now lets see some more new shows! Love it!
This is a great show. I know lots of people who like it. We need more shows like this and less “reality” TV.
Please don’t cancel revenge it is the only show I look forward to watch!!!
Thought the recap show was well done. Enjoy wallowing in the backstabbing, intensely feeling, clueless, all that money can’t buy Long Island Hamptons environment where even the people you pay to like you, resent your every breath. Dale Carnegie would have bitchslapped the lot. Keep draining the venom from the asp.
