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?
This is one of my favorite shows, watched it since day one. Amazing cast, SO talented! The story line was amazing, there seem to be endless possibilities for each characters journey that would have be fun & exciting to watch! I’m also sick of all these “reality” shows. What happened to writing great stories and then being able to see it come to life on screen with awesome characters and an interesting plot. I’m really shocked, appalled, and saddened by this news, this show had substance unlike many other shows being aired. Someone at the top made a bad call,… Read more »
WTF! About a Boy gets renewed… and Two Broke Girls.. really????
Losing a great show. This show was the only reason my wife & I watched NBC.
wow i cant believe this ,this is B.S , love this show D: so sad …please bring it back.
Most of the comments I’ve read are in support of Revolution. I totally agree with all of them!! I thought the show was awesome! NBC-their problem was they don’t know how to schedule their shows! Other people have mentioned the day and time they moved it to and almost any shows numbers would suffer against a show as popular as Survivor! I know complaining about it probably won’t do any good,but this is exactly why NBC is in LAST PLACE and will remain there!!! It would be great for another network to pick it up-I would watch!!! This happened to… Read more »
Hated the show stoped watching it long ago. Replaced it with arrow
I love this show and have never missed an episode! Seriously, I’m just not going to watch any new shows because everything good gets cancelled. Sick of it!
Im so sick of getting invested in shows that are great and then these networks pull the plug, NBC is so stupid, revolution is a great show with great acting and a unique story!! I really hate how they don’t even have the decency to finish off the story, it’s like reading a novel and not knowing how it ends!! Shame on them!
Completely just pissed that this show is being canceled. It was the one really awesome show my husband and I got into. Well, that and Almost Human another canceling mistake you people at NBC made. Grrrr….If it wasn’t for Sports I’ll tell you what I would cut all cable and be done with all of you.
Sorry not just cable but TV period….(even though you basically have to pay for something to get any tv at all)
I love this show, too!! Definitely one of my favorites! I like Survivor, too, and am lucky enough to have a DVR that can record both shows at once. But, I’m sure many people don’t. I think they should move it to a different day/time slot rather than cancel it. I think the show has a great premise to it. Different from a lot of the other stuff that’s out there. I’ll really miss the show. What a shame.
I think the problem with Revolution this year was the show was off for a month, then 2 weeks and people just got tired of it not being on and moved onto other shows. I think it’s a great show and look forward to watching every week. Oh well I guess I will have to watch something else on Wednesday nights.
I agree with everyone so far. You guys are a bunch of MORONS!!!! Just when we were getting a great story with the AI and using mustard gas to start a war, you idiots are cancelling the show?????? WTF!!!! SO ONLY 4 Million people watch it? Last time I checked 4 million people is more than the population of most States. I mean if there weren’t 6 million channels to watch maybe more people would watch the same shows. Oh wait but then you moved the show to a different time slot. GOOD JOB MORONS. Why don’t you just move… Read more »
I haven’t missed an episode and look forward to Wednesday nights. What a bummer.
BRING REVOLUTION BACK! Or I’m done with NBC other then law and order your either shows SUCK!
I cant believe NBC cancelled the only show on there network that I watch. I hole TNT or USA picks it up and continues to film. One of only the few shows I actually look forward to watching. Also if NBC wouldn’t skip episodes every other week they would have more viewers. Great Show!!! Stupid network!!!
