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?
Love the show as well as the theme,actors(who played their parts so well)and of course the good vs. evil which exist in real and TV life.
I truly love this show. My teen son also loves it. We are both rather upset that it’s being cancelled. I hope they will change their mind and give us at least half another season to wrap things up.
I know there is a concern for ratings. But I’ve found that I am dvr-ing lots of my favorite shows to watch later. I’m still watching them, just not when they are airing.
Utter tosh!
This is a must view in my household and yes we watch it on catch up! Yet again some bell-end thinks that the normal cop show garbage is worth keeping. Really!
Another Jericho situation where the fans are left with nothing.
I was so looking forward to the California republic and maybe a few episodes regarding the rest of the world the immediate aftermath of the blackout. NBC are a JOKE HBO would have invested and stuck with.
Thanks for nothing NBC
Totally gutted. Love Love Love Revolution. Why have they just pulled it.????
IF NBC CARED ABOUT THEIR VIEWERS THEY WOULD COMMISSION A
SPECIAL TO TIE UP ALL THE STORIES.
This is must see t.v. and they go and cancel it. I agree it should be on at a later time like 9. Why bother bringing a show back for a second season only to get us avid fans even more hooked to cancel it in the second season? I don’t think I will be starting any new shows anymore. Stick with what I watch and forget about getting addicted to something only to have them pull it after second season. Why not cancel Law and Order Svu? That show is getting unbearable.
I AM SO DISGUSTED THAT REVOLUTION IS BEING CANCELLED.THERE IS SO MUCH CRAP ON YOUR NETWORK BUT YOU CANCEL THE ONE GOOD SHOW THAT YOU HAVE…SO DISAPPOINTED YOU HAVE LOST YET ANOTHER VIEWER.
8pm is tough – my older son goes to bed around then and he’s not allowed to watch Revolution (too young) – so we often miss part of it then catch it on-demand later. It should be on at 9, that would be perfect.
So upset Revolution has been cancelled Loved this show
May be if it had a better time slot more people would have watched it. I bet it finishes on a real cliff hanger
so hope they change their minds and put it back on Please please please
Never missed an episode. Love this show. You people always cancel the good shows and keep the crap!!
I am disgusted that they cancelled revolution and can see the reason why . Is it cause they want to put crap on inside. It was one of the best programmes in a long time and i am livid i come from IRELAND and i loved watching it
I LOVE THIS SHOW and since you are cancelling it I will no longer watch any NBC programming again. If you would have only put this show on a better time slot and marketed it better you would have gotten ratings to go way up maybe you need to fire whoever decides show times and marketing and get someone new in there because this is the worst decision your network could make. I hope another network picks this show up and shows you how to market a good series like this.
I love this show, have watched every episode. So disappointed that they are cancelling, hoped they would give it a Season 3. Now will never know how it was going to end, really hate that, NBC really you have shows on that aren’t half as good as this show. Really hope a cable channel will pick it up!!
So upset that Revolution was not given at least a final season. NBC is the worst network on tv for a reason. It was the ONLY show I watched on NBC. Now no reason to watch any others. It had a very loyal following, and regularly beat ARROW in the ratings, and that was renewed for another season. If NBC had actually promoted it the second season, and stopped the big breaks in airing, maybe the momentum would have built a little better. Regardless, they have a big following. Wish we could count on it being picked up by another… Read more »
Seriously guys, do a bunch of monkeys run your network. Revolution has a unique premise that deserves to be played out. You guys keep putting on the same garbage that hasn’t worked for you in years and you continually give up on innovative ideas that have the potential to achieve an almost cult-like status (ie: Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc). Why don’t you try to reintroduce “Saved by the Bell: the Middle Aged Years”? I’m sure some idiot in your developmental department thinks that would be a wonderful idea. Soon you will be below the CW in ratings because you… Read more »
I’m so disappointed that revolution is over… How will we ever know what happens?! I’m definitely going to miss this show! Interesting, fun, the great escape on Wednesday night!
