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?
So sad. Goodbye NBC, you’re the GREEDIEST network and I too will not watch anymore of your channel broadcasts
What!!! I can’t believe NBC canceled REVOLUTION!!!! Come on some other network please pick this up!!!! Like USA, TBS….. I really HATE reality shows….like another person just commented I live reality…..I don’t want to watch it on tv!! Come on NBC pull your head out……loved the show….loved the actors!!!!
I’m sorry what? “Timeslot”!?! It’s 2014 not 1980! Who watches TV in a “timeslot” any more? This show being canceled is about politics and allagory.
so bummed – really liked this show shouldn’t have moved it ,
One of the few shows that is really different and good. Figures crappie shows get renewed and good ones are always canceled. So tired of this.
My wife and I love this show! I can’t believe they are canceling it (anyone ever hear of a DVR). Ugh!
So disappointed with NBC right now…
Yeah I am just as sad as all the rest of the Revolution fans that the series is cancelled but I thought hey at least have either option A. Three more episodes to wrap the series up or B. Have Netflix or someone else pick it up either way we win but for now it looks like we lose.
R.I.P. Revolution (2012-2014).
Should not have cancelled Revolution.
Very sad that Revolution has been cancelled. You can’t keep moving a show around to different timeslots. It did not belong in the 8PM timeslot. This is a great show….NBC made a huge mistake….come on CBS or ABC…pick this one up!!
Really? They move the show it drops in ratings and you cancel? One if the few shows I know got better who ever decides these things probably want another reality show. No wonder I hate networks. I will not watch season finale won’t give NBC the power. I tell you one thing NBC had done this before to me never again… NBC goodbye.
Amen Mark, GOODBYE NBC, i’m done with you. You’re by far the greediest network of all, you should see how they are with sports. I’m a huge hockey fan. ALL they care about is ratings. When doing Winter classic games, they only pick the same few teams to host because they have more fans.
the reason viewers lose interest in shows is it is too long to wait between seasons

Liked this show a lot!!! Would be better to keep Revolution than some of the new completely insipid series you have planned for us this fall. Bye Bye
This is one of the few shows my husband and I watch. We cannot stand reality TV. Where can we go to watch TV shows that aren’t reality shows. I live reality.
So disappointed that yet another great show is being canceled.
