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?
boooooooooo love this show so mad they ended it without an actual ending
Shame on NBC. Revolution is a fabulous show with a demonstration of what we could do to ourselves in the upcoming years. Material was original; Casting was excellent; multi-themes/stories happening; it NEVER got boring, and had some real surprises that audiences did not expect. Plus it demonstrated how feeble human nature can be at some times in our relationships with others. “What can I get from this person?”, rather than this person is someone who is valuable in my life; were often themes stressed in the material. Again, bad decision NBC! Why do television stations pit their finest against other… Read more »

DITTO……….. AS I COULD NOT HAVE SAID THIS BETTER MYSELF! BTW………. N B C now stands for the NO BROADCAST CHANNEL!
I loved this show! The ratings may have dropped on television, but they need to think about all the people who watched it online. I found this show right after the First Season was added to Netflix and I impatiently waited for the Second Season to be added. I’m not a huge fan of watching television, but I love watching TV shows on Netflix and when Season 2 was added I watched the whole season in 2 days! They need to bring the show back if not for a full season at least part of a season, so there can… Read more »
This show was AMAZING!!!! Screw NBC and their profits. I loved this show. Im a huge critic when it comes to series and Revolution had such a great plot and cast. After the first episode I was hooked. The show was brilliant. When watching it, it made you feel like you part of the group and lives. I think that they should just give it one last shot. Theirs a lot of petitions online where people in the hundreds of thousands agree along with our side. A lot of people say that their wasn’t enough action in the 2nd season,… Read more »

Thy should at least finish the show and then no one will hate hem for canceling it!! And no one will get upset that hey didn’t know what was going to happen next
This was a amazing show I don’t see why they would want to cancel it. I’ve loved watching this show for a while now it’s amazing my family wild sit in our living room and watch it together while we were on the edge of our seats wondering wha would happen next. Please bring this show back!!
Revolution needs to be back in the air! It was an awesome show! Great characters very sad
My husband and I so liked this show. This show with the wonderful story lines of alliances and back stabbing could have gone on for years. The cast was just great! Please bring it back!
revolution was a great show filled with suspense and action I cant understand why nobody watched it. the actors and actresses were fantastic how can you not make a third season that’s ridiculous. I don’t even watch tv I just watch Netflix so Im hoping Netflix will take up where nbc left off.
I absolutely loooooooove revaluation there must be a season three I was really looking forward to it hopefully Netflix will pick it up and continue the show I hope 🙁
That’s why I got rid of cable and satellite cause all the good shows get taken off the air for crap shows. I only watch Netflix now. Maybe ABC, NBC, CBS, FX and all those other networks should just sell the rights to Netflix to keep the good shows going.
