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?
What am I going to watch in place of revolution now my saturday nights just wont be the same:-(
I really enjoy the premise and style of this show. When people calculate its viewer audience do they factor in those like me who live in England and watch and support a great many series such as this. I am disappointed in NBC if they do take a world wide audience into account.
This was one of the few shows I have watched from it’s start in the past couple years. Revolution has some very strong personal relationships, good characters, and fun action. WHY ARE YOU CANCELLING THIS SHOW! I would not expect this show to be on for 10 years, but come on give it another year to develop! There are so many crappy shows on right now that are really going no where and you cancel Revolution. At least it had real implications of what we could be living like if we don’t manage our science, lives, technology like we should.… Read more »
I can’t believe this show got cancelled! I love this TV series!!! Why is it the best shows get cancelled?
This IS one, if not the best show on network TV right now. They really need to review why it’s ratings went low…. Sometimes timing, and NBC changing their slot, screw’s the show. The show is actually great!!! Someone pick it up!!!! How many times did they try to get rid of Buffy the Vampire Slayer??? She kept coming back! Even from the dead! Surely Revolution can as we’ll. Give the show a chance!!!! Please hear our plea!
Why would NBC cancel a show that is exciting, entertaining. A Terrific watch! How can we keep this on the AIR!!!!!!
TELL NBC TO RENEW REVOLUTION!
Complaining on this site will do NOTHING. Go to NBC’s contact page (http://www.nbc.com/contact/general), use the pull-down to select Revolution and TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK! The only way we’re going to get Revolution back if is we ALL COMPLAIN TO NBC!
DO YOUR PART!!!
Thank you. I did just that.
I did it, I wrote to NBC. This is the 2nd really creative great show that they have shut down. If it doesn’t have cops, firefighters or paramedics then it is NOT a keeper on the NBC network. I told them I would not watch anymore shows aired on their network and I am serious. Let them take a financial hit for one more season and finish the story.
Revolution brought a unique look at just how dependant we have become to modern technology. The story allowed the viewer to enter a world none of us would want to permanently live in. It has the taste of many themes, political, action, historical, and science fiction held together with a family of character relationships. I have yet to meet someone who began watching the show who did not like it. This show could have been like Heros or Lost. It had much more to explore than those did. I would not think it was overly expensive to produce. Why did… Read more »
It is true what you say about if you can get someone to watch just 15 minutes of “Revolution” they would be hooked. This show was the first to use nano-technology, as well as painting the United States as ‘patriots’ out to get their own people. I will never be the same without “Revolution”, dear God I hope somebody else picks it up?
Why would nbc do this there is know reason we have to suffer the consequences of not able to see it anymore.And no i would make a third season.
Revolution was fantastic. We enjoy INTELLIGENT shows, not ‘reality’ garbage. This show fit the bill. It should not have been cancelled!
what? are you serious? NBC you are so stupid!
not surprised , as usual when something good comes along you can it PLEASE WILL SOMEONE PICK UP THIS SHOW!
My TV is on 2 hours a day. 1 hour news in the morning, 1 hour news in the evening. Wednesday is the only day it is on an extra hour. Revolution is the reality show for real people. Just think what science can and will invent in the not to distant future.
I cannot believe this. I literally had tears in my eyes when I found out that my favorite show was ending. I’m tired of all the same crap on TV,this show was fresh and there were some great actors on it. I just dont get how they are going to bring it all full circle so quickly for the final episode. But I sure will be watching and I will miss you Revolution.
The revolution, The resurection and Beleive is the only show I like to watch. All of these realty show should be gone. Drama drama ,drama.I think I ‘m gonna cancel my cable. Without The revolution, the resurection and beleive, it’s not worth the cost etflix would be best.
