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?
Best show hands down! Please bring it back.
Love REVOLUTION!!
Heard another station might pick it up.
How can you possibly cancelle the best show I have ever seen on NBC? Why don’t you look at the time slot instead of just canceling one of the top shows you had on NBC!! This is one crazy mistake for NBC and I wtill no longer be watching this station!!!! farewell NBC!!!!
Love the show. I was looking forward to another season. Now there is NOTHING to watch on nbc.
I hope it ends up on another network.
What th’??? WHY cancel a show that was just getting better–especially in view of all the truly crappy shows that are on??? Go figure….
I really enjoyed the series even though I generally watched episodes via video on demand. The finale looked to me like a setup for future episodes, and I’m hopeful that the show will find a home and continue.
only good show on nbc
This really ticks me off that NBC would knock Revolution of the airwaves I faitfully watched that show and to hear its been cancelled really ticks me off
It was good bring it back
Love this show! Please don’t cancel. So many other totally dud shows remain. Love the characters and the acing is great! Please keep.
I can’t believe nbc cancelled the best show they have. I used to watch nbc all the time. Now the only show I watch is Revolution. Guess I won’t be watching nbc anymore. Why would you not look at the time. Wednesday night at 8pm is midweek church services. I dvr it and watch when there is NOTHING on.
This show was innovative, cutting edge, and on par with concerns and issues of the times. It is a shame that it was cancelled prematurely. This shows the lack of foresight on the networks part. It was a thinking person action adventure series which may be the reason it failed. It was a moronic “reality” show. Who wants reality, I live it every day?!
Really liked this show!! Also crossing NBC off watch list!!!!
What the heck! Loved,loved,loved this show! Too much invested in these characters! Crossing NBC off my watch list!!!!!!
