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?
How to fail a network: Hook and audience, dump a show prematurely… Audience expectation…. Expect more of the same… a network that won’t stand by it’s ‘wah, we didn’t take #1 in Ratings waaaah! Dump… so why bother watching next one… We had being dumped so early…. at least for your fan’s sake, let someone else make it. Sheesh… I get so tired of this BS.
oops, sorry for the typos… 🙁 Too upset I guess… (sigh)
The best show ever!! So ironic and realistic about USA Government, not surprise why people didn’t like it any more (LOL). I’m so sad this was cancelled. Bring it back please. Please!
I have been waiting and waiting for the release date of season 3. Come on nbc. Realize there are still a generation of people that enjoy series shows that are not sitcoms and reality tv. This was a well put together series. Great actors. Complete with suspense. Drama. Heroism, and reality. Please reconsider. And don’t Just aire shows targeting the younger audience. We pay for cable too we should have at least some choice in the matter … I agree with one of the other comments. If NBC is stupid enough to let this show go. I pray. Another network… Read more »
This was the only show on NBC that my husband and I made a point of watching. Didn’t know it had been cancelled until doing a search for season 3 premiere. Now no reason at all to watch NBC.
Just found out Revolution was cancelled ! I can’t believe they cancel a good show like this , only to keep and put more reality shows on. It seem all television is good for these days is infomercials and reality television. Most which is garbage in my opinion. What a waste of money cable is.
The Nano tech is B.S. They war on the patriots finally gets going and now it’s done!? really wow Take that stupid nano garbage and make it go away. Revolution was good for lack of power, the nano makes this show into some sorry trashy walking dead wanna be. Take that nano garbage and throw it away, bring it back and finish the fight with patriots and Texas.
I have been reading all comments from many people. that have enjoyed this series and are upset that it has been cancelled. I hope that these comments are being forwarded to NBC. so that they can possibly reconsider. or I hope these comments are being forwarded to another network. like Netflix I know that if it was picked up. Season 3 4 5 6 7 8 with the blockbusters. the way they get ratings is outdated and is archaic. when so many people stream the entire season all at one time. like myself I’ve been watching on Hulu TV. because… Read more »
Bring it back.
I just wanted to find out when my favorite show was coming back on and instead I find out its cancelled, unbelievable. So few good shows on tv and one of the best gets cancelled, how disappointing! Good thing there are a lot of good books worth reading.
lol me too. I think the nano tech brought this show down. I mean they made an entire episode about aarons mind. Really!? thats so stupid, no joke i almost skipped that episode but when charlie got shot in aarons dream I stayed but seriously the nano tech destroyedd this perfect patriot texan war story.
Really getting tired of getting into a show and having it taken away! It happens way too often. Maybe television is NOT where it’s at any more!
best serie i have seen so far and i have seen a lot of series… I was looking for an air date of season 3 but the dip ***** canceled it -_- soo watching a serie wich stops with a cliff hanger and won’t come back is totally the thing i guess ? or they kick on people getting frustrated at not being able to see what will happen… NBC are just greedy for money and i think they were like we got it we quit … too bad nobody else would buy the rights they don’t know what they… Read more »
This is one of my favorite shows! I’m really dismayed…
I do not understand dropping such a great show to bad another network could not continue
Why is it you finally come out with a show worth watching and you cancel it. By far the worst network out there right now and poor decisions like this are the cause.
How could you cancel this show without an ending? You could at least have a third/final season and wrap it up. Now we’ll never have answers???
This show rocks, who ever had the dumb idea to cancel this show has there head where the doesn’t shine and should be fired ! This show was just as good as the walking dead and I hope that some other network has the smarts to buy the rights so that it can continue,and so NBC can see what a mistake that they are makeing!
Great show. I’m so sad this was cancelled. Enough of the reality TV crud. Bring back this captivating show please. Please!
