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?
Once again a major network cancels a great show with wonderful cast. I guess if it was a boring reality show no one watched they’d keep it because you don’t have to use a brain to watch stupid people with no talent anymore on TV!!
It really sucks! And I am shocked! For two years I was watching the series. Every week I was looking forward to see the next episode. After the first season I could not wait to see the second season. I invested so much feelings in this show. All this for nothing. NBC? Never again!
I cannot BELIEVE this has been cancelled. Its my favourite show at the moment. The storyline was brilliant, the characters outstanding….I’m so disappointed. Why would you drop it? My and my sister sit down and watch every episode together. You wont hear a peep out of us until its over. she will be just as upset.
shame on you 🙁
I don’t understand how you could cancel such an excellent program. It kept me interested from week to week. Every time I get interested in a great show it seems to get canceled for some other boring comedy show or something that is worthless to watch. I think I will only watch the movie channels instead of being disappointed with yet another cancelation just when the show was getting exciting and interesting to watch. Wish you would reconsider because it was the best show the network had to offer. I’ll miss not knowing what was going to happen next.
Been watching since the beginning. Loved this show. What’s wrong with this station, you ask? The same thing as always. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC, OR WHAT YOU LIKE. IT’S MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.
SyFy – please rescue Revolution.
Bring it back!!! The 1st season started to lag a little but the 2nd kept my wife and I waiting for the next episode. Great series!!
I loved the show. Please reconsider. I’m so sad.
Let us all hope that the Syfy Network picks it up and it runs for several more seasons
I guess it not a reality tv show which I hate.this must be why they cancelled it.it was just too good of show for NBC.they only show crap tv
Good show.nbc is stupid for cancellation.why not try another time slot.maybe they could sell it to the syfy channel.
NBC is the worst Network for a Reason. Great Show and they Cancel it. DUMB DUMB DUMB…….Never watch anything on NBC again…..
I cannot believe they cancelled another great show, one that was different and exciting. The characters are great and I was looking forward to the next development in a new season so now…again…we won’t know what happens next. Thumbs down on this cancellation.
Once again nothing to watch on NBC
This is the best show,what are you thinking?? I’m done with that channel ;(
