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?

This series is wonderful. It may take a couple episodes to get into it, but it is by far the best night-time drama [soap] since Dynasty and Dallas. Get caught up to speed by watching past episodes online. It’s worth the time.
LOVE Revenge!! PLEASE keep this show on the air. I can’t wait for Wednesday nights to see Revenge.
Excellent…captivating…a good escape series.
I love love love REVENGE!!!! great show that i just found!
Definitely keep REVENGE and ONCE UPON A TIME. These are fresh new shows; so tired of the hum drum weekly comedy shows, that feels like it has to cast one of every type of person (black, white, gay, lesbian, single mother, divorced couple, etc) just to keep up with the times.
Why is it that shows that have any factor of intelligence, excellent writing and great actors are always on the chopping block. Have we become so brain dead that any series that forces us to think is to much of an effort. Do not cancel this great show.
We love the series!!!! I even have my 82 year old mother hooked
Love the series. Can not wait from week to week
Love this show! I look forward to it every week! It is so good. Every girl needs a friend like Noland, he is like a fairy godfather using technology as his magic : )
Love this show! My favorite series!
We love Revenge – watch each week and DVR when we can’t be home. There is a little piece of all of us in that show. KEEP IT COMING!!!!
Please do not cancel this show it is the best on TV>
By far the best show on network TV!! Renew it! Love this show and look forward to it each week.
I love this show! The actors were casted perfectly. Revenge is my Wednesday night show. Keep it on!!!
I love REVENGE ! This is my favorite new show. Please ABC keep this show and also I love Once Upon A Time. ABC keep both these shows!
