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?
Yes bring Revolution back!
Bring revolution back, it was my favourite show!!!!
Revolution was original & well written. It was also refreshing in its lack of predictability which is so prevelant in less deserving shows.
However NBC is quite predictable in its decision to cancel and intelligent program and keep less evocative programming.
I watched Revolution from day 1. I have recorded every episode. It is the only TV show I watched. With NBC cancelling it, I can now say I don’t watch TV at all. No reason to.
If Revolution ever gets a season 3, I will record each one and watch them with my family.
Someone please email the NBC thinkers and explain all these posts to them?
Let HBO or AMC pick it up and lets keep this show going!!!!!!
Every time we start getting used to and/or really liking a show, you cancel it!
Screw you NBC: Creetings from Finland.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW REVOLUTION I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE IF NBC DOES’NT RENEW IT FOR SEASON THREE BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO GET EVEN BETTER THE LONGER IT’S AIRS BECAUSE THE STORY LINE AROUND THE ACTORS SEEMS TO BE MORE EXCITING AND THE SHOW JUST KEEPS YOU HOOKED I DEMAND A SEASON THREE BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST TV SHOWS THATS BEEN OUT IN ALONG TIME AND IF NBC DOES’NT REALIZE THAT THEY WILL REGRET IT
moet doorgaan !!
It is a great show , far better than some that are on now!
Some shows are so silly that it’s pathetic ! We need to have more shows like Revolution.
Please leave it on!
It was a good show. Why did they cancel it. You aren’t going to find a better show. KEEP IT ON!!!
I work 12 hour shifts as a Taxi driver and dont have cable nor have the time to watch a tv show at its scheduled times. As many people I know we watch tv shows on the internet at our leisure, when time permits. I will sit for 2 to 3 hours watching a show. This one was the one I lost sleep over because I could not stop watching it. NOW THAT IT IS REALLY GETTING GOOD. YOU CANCEL IT.. WOW NO WONDER I DONT WATCH TV ANYMORE. NO WONDER I HAVE LOST FAITH IN NETWORKS. IM NOT ALONE… Read more »
I agree 100 percet someone has to do something
The cancellation of Revolution is another reason not to watch NBC. With all the junk NBC puts on the air, Revolution was a nice change.
Cannot believe NBC canceled Revolution. I hope a cable channel picks it up. NBC should never have put it in the 8pm time slot! Tough slot for that show…but then again tv execs don’t care about ratings any more….look at their news programs and yet still they pay these people millions.
Loved Revolution and was really looking forward to season 3,I’m really fed up of Sci Fi series being cancelled when we have an amazing load of American junk on TV .A professor friend of mine told me that the reading age of the average American is that of a 12 yr old and I think TV is mostly aimed at those people so the ratings look good.
