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?
I loved Revolution….I get it on Netflix after the season is complete. I absolutely loved it, Billy Burke is hot!!! Please don’t cancel it!!!

What does your reply mean? “5 stars on NETFLIX”? Elaborate please? …. are you saying that NETFIX is going to extend the Series? or………… ???? What?

REVOLUTION is also one the favorites on Netflix in the number of viewers. Sign the petition (almost 59,000) revolution and join us on Twitter Sunday nights and Wednesday nights to rewatch revolution. We trend in the tweeting. . We are pushing for a network to pick it up or NBC to renew it. We did hear from one of the directors that he is working to try and come up with a pick up or a movie.

I loved this show, favorite one, can’t believe they cancelled it. I have chosen not to watch any new shows NBC puts out because of this.
garbage is what they will put out to replace a great show! DITTO!
Great show, really miss it, not sure why NBC got rid of it! TV’s absolutely chock-full of back-to-back reality shows (which are about as real as fake boobs!), crime shows, and medical dramas already, would it have hurt to give the viewing public something different, something thought provoking for a change? I really hope the NBC Execs. change their collective minds, and give this great show at least one more season, let us find out what the creators had in mind when they started this great adventure!! If that’s not on the cards, maybe they could sell the Rights to… Read more »
I still can’t quite believe that NBC cancelled such a great show! This was a show with a great premise, great story lines, a slew of awesome characters played by an equally awesome cast, and good ratings – ratings that were even better than some of the shows the network renewed!! It just makes no sense to me… We are talking here about the cancellation of a show that won a Saturn Award for best tv show both seasons it was on air – color me confused!! This is one show I would love to see back on tv, sooner… Read more »
I most certainly would have continued it! love this series!
I love the show. I can’t believe it’s ending in they should bring back a third season. Thy can’t leave it the way they did. Please bring it back
Truly sad, one of the few series not a crime drama or idiotic sitcom. End of season 2 spawned what looked like excellent start to new season. No wonder NBC is failing.
I really love that show, very sad they take away the good shows
Great show nbc needs to wake up.
Only the good shows get canceled
So true. Nbc wake up.
TV is ran by morons who have fallen out of touch what people like. Taking Revolution out of it’s time slot was just to help it not succeed. That is why Netflix is the way. Take control over your own entertainment.
This was my favorite show on TV. I am so saddened that it got cancelled. Please bring it back. Just like the show Jericho.. was an awesome show and it got dropped. The shows coming out this fall look hideous.. not at all interested in any of them. Booo Hisss NBC.. not just NBC all of them ABC, and CBS..
i watched every show an want it back i am very disappointed that that show got cancelled when u have a bunch that should be cancelled an didnt glenda baker
Didn’t help that Episode1 of Season 2 was no where to be found. So, if you missed the first episode, you were out of luck. Too bad. Enjoyed the show. Blame this one on NBC for not making the beginning of Season 2 episodes available.
Poor marketing for 21st Century viewers.
