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?
If another network dosent pick up the show im gonna quit watching tv shows . MAYBE IF THEY CHANGE THE DAMN SCHEDULE BACK TO WHAT IT REGULARLY WAS THEN IT WOULD BE AWESOME . THEYDONT UNDERSTAND THAT MOST PEOPLE RECORD OR WATCH IT ONLINE BECAUSE THEY CANT MAKE THE SCHEDULE.
Another one bites the dust!
Series 2 didn’t have the same impact as series 1 with the “secret bunker” but was still worth watching and I enjoyed it. What with Almost Human being cancelled not a good week for sci-fi.
It makes you wonder why you put effort into watching new series.
SO pissed NBC im sick of the way you treat your viewers Revolution was one of the best shows that I so enjoyed watching. Im really just done with NBC you give us this great shows that I personally invest my time watching then you dump it if has a slow season you move the night when it was fine where it was and that’s your screw up now the fans pay. GOOD BY NBC JUST HAVE HAD enough
Love this show! One of the few TV shows that I watch. Very disappointed that it’s being cancelled. Probably would have done better if aired a bit later. 8 pm is not a great time for a show with as much violence as this. If I still had little kids around I wouldn’t have been watching it. Too bad NBC couldn’t figure that out.
So very upset. One of the best shows on TV.
NBC, you had the second best show ever made and cancelled it. I am done with NBC, will not watch your network anymore. You have taken a big step toward ending network television. I will not watch any show again until it has been on at least 3 years and has been renewed for a 4th year. Then I will buy the DVDs and catch up. With everyone doing this, all shows will be cancelled right away because no one will watch them! Not very smart of you.
I enjoy watching Revolution, please do not cancel such a great show.
It does make you question the mentality in for Americans when they cancel a great show like this but keep crappy shows about a load of bitchy housewives
watched every episode & never watch reality tv. This was a very very good show. This season was another chapter. That is how it has to be. It shows another layer of putting it together as its a tv show not a movie. so here goes another great show with good acting. It is not phony & fake. They make it as real as it gets.
Big mistake…. Almost as bad ad when Fox canceled Firefly. When a network cancels shows like these mega-classics it turns people off from getting involved in anything else they offer. Shame on you NBC.
Well another show gone that I liked…no ending and 2 seasons of wasting my time why don’t they get it stop moving them about..here in the UK they moved it to a Saturday night at 10pm when most people are out or perhaps watching a film. I record this show and usually watch it sundays. Its a real shame been the best show I’ve seen for a long time looks like I won’t be buying the box sets to a series with no ending
Gutted there wil, be no series three. One of the best in rdcent yeara please bring it back.
Best show on tv…would have renewed it!!!
This just proves how NBC as their head up their ass. Unfortuately no show can compete
in the same time slot as American Idol and Survivor. Which both suck.
I am very disappointed. I watched every episode. They don’t take into account how many people tape the show, or watch it on Hulu, etc. I am going to boycott NBC because of this.
Nbc you suck. You should just go back to Mondays! I hate getting involved with shows and producers dont have decency to at least give it a proper ending. Cbs here I come
