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?
Very bad news. I loved this show. Not a lot of good shows out there anymore. Too bad they couldn’t have ended it by wrapping it all up with a good finale. Really sad to see this show gone. I loved the characters, and the story line was really unique. Bad, bad news. Well, one more day for me to go work out at the gym in the evening, instead of sitting on the couch, since this was one of only four TV shows that I really ever bothered to go out of my way to watch.
I’m heartbroken. It’s a big shame. It’s not like NBC was doing any commercial promoting it either. I didn’t see much online promotion as well. Moving timeslots was a bad decision on NBC’s part. I truly enjoyed the story line and the characters. It was one of my DVR record and rewatch along with Walking Dead. Maybe Netflix will pick it up as an independent.
This is the same kind of thing that happened to JERICHO fans.
A real shame :(( as a family we look forward to Revolution every week. The actors are fantastic.
I wish the networks would make decisions about which shows live or die while shooting is still going on. That way, a finale of sorts could be aired and I wouldn’t feel like I just read a book with the last chapter torn out. It SUCKS, but I did something about it. I encourage you to join me. I got burned by the death of too many shows like Invasion, Firefly, V, Body of Proof and Detroit 1-8-7. Now, if a show sounds good, I don’t watch it. I record it on my DVR but don’t watch it until I… Read more »
I am so sick of starting a new series, getting sucked into the story and then BAM! The network gives the ax and the viewers are stuck with no resolution to the story. Then they wonder why no one watches all these new shows???? Because we are tired of wasting our time! A little respect for those watching all this time would be nice. Perhaps a wrap up two hour event? I mean really I am so ready to just ditch all these networks all together. What is the point?
NO! Would be nice if they actually put an end on this season but not holding out much hope since the cancellation came so late.
Revolution is one of the few network shows that we watch. The acting and writing are great, the stories interesting and we appreciate the action and humor. We’re very disappointed in NBC. Surely there are other shows that should have been cancelled instead.
it seems like when a network starts a new series,they should at least have some respect 4 the viewers who have been watching and have a conclusion to the show,but as always,money talks,and to hell with the viewers as 99percent of the time!!!!!!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY that is to bad I was a follower like many and this series had a lot of pluses.
I am sorry to see it go with so many lame reality shows on now this is a joke.
My husband and I love this show. I wish HBO or Showtime would pick it up. What is wrong with NBC? This is the only Network show we watch.
I wish when a network like NBC wants to attract you to a series and they have a second season , where the ratings are cause for cancellation…They should shoot some kind of a finale to it for the people that invested their time into watching such as “Revolution”!!!
I agree. I feel like I have been reading a really long book and someone ripped out the last 3 chapters! It’s annoying but I do not think there is any way to shoot a ‘just in case’ series finale because it would not line up with the prior episodes.
Also I liked Aarons AC/DC Shirt
What a bunch of loosers this NBC are. I only watch Revolution and the walking dead from America because most of there other shows are for the burger eating overweight sad reality tv addicts . revolution is just as good as walking dead and that’s going to season 5 .
Gutted! Really wanted a third season
