While characters of Revolution try to find a way to recover the world’s power, NBC is trying to recover their ratings power. If the TV series can help them or not will ultimately determine if the show is cancelled or renewed for a second season.
The show’s large cast includes Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Anna Lise Phillips, Graham Rogers, JD Pardo, Zak Orth, Maria Howell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Tim Guinee, Elizabeth Mitchell, Derek Webster, and Daniella Alonso.
The first season of Revolution typically airs Monday nights at 10pm. NBC has ordered 13 20 episodes. Below are the TV show’s latest ratings for the first season, the best way to tell if Revolution will stick around long enough for the series’ storyline to conclude.

It was a very positive start for Revolution. It retained most of the viewers from lead-in The Voice and most watched the entire episode. NBC released the first episode online earlier this month so some people may have watched that and not tuned in to see it on television.
Compared to last year’s timeslot occupant (The Playboy Club), NBC was up by 156% in the demo and 132% in total viewers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Revolution TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
[…] in the 18-49 demographic with 12.58 million total viewers. It won the night in both categories. Revolution followed with a 3.1 rating (-3% week-to-week) and 8.21 […]
SCIENCE…used in fiction (sci-fi) this show just makes up rubbish and expects people with at least some kind of IQ to believe it. (doesnt happen)
whats wrong with diesel engines, harnessed to machinery…voila.
we are expected to believe we all turn into 18th century serfs because the lights went out…lol
If this even survives a season it goes to show, we ARE, all doomed
Restart SGU and give us some decent entertainment
Why are people trying to pigeon hole this show as Sci Fi? This show can fit in the same genre as Lost or other shows that are based more than science. If you enjoyed Lost or Alcatraz, then there is no reason to not like this show unless you just don’t like it.
I read another article that described Revolution’s ratings in terms of live views and DVR recordings, and it seems like the show is doing pretty well in both categories. I’m in the DVR viewership, as I prefer to watch TV on my own time.
What a breath of fresh air from “reality” TV!
Keep it…Renew it…Love it!…
I have been in the broadcasting business for 28 years and have seen good show come and go. JJ Abrams had a hit with Alcatraz but FOX did not think so. I think this show is a hit and will survive as it is up against Hawaii-Five-O which can be recorded on the DVR and watched later. I say KEEP IT as I am hooked. I think we have something that replace LOST.
Keep it I am hooked on it so far amazing show I think it will be a hit
I don’t tink it will last. They’ve already given away who the ‘milita’ is controlled by if ‘miles’ has a change of heart than maybe it deserves a chance
I’m not into physics or science but I liked this show and I hope it survives. I plan to continue watching. I recorded DWTS and The Voice and watched them later. I enjoy all 3 shows and its hard to choose.
The science is crazy, but the ratings are stellar for NBC. They might have an NBC sized hit.
[…] was followed by Revolution at 10pm with a 3.5 demo rating and 9.29 million. That represents a 16% decline from the premiere […]
Keep it. Shows what will happen if we let the Goverment take over.
Maybe you missed the part in the pilot when it was explained that the federal government collapsed and the militias took over.
Most cares have electrical systems. Which in the case of this show would be the reason they don’t function.
Okay 1. The show infers that it is at all possible for electrons to not flow through conductors and semiconductors. This would violate probably every law of physics in accordance with band theory and metallic bonding, and all metals, let alone all matter would cease to exist. 2. It is further stipulated that internal combustion engines (cars, jets, coal burning power stations) would cease to function. This would mean that combustion reactions can no longer occur to power machinery. Again, this violates basic physics/chemistry, in that a chemical reaction can no longer occur (perhaps they ran out of oxygen) 3.… Read more »
The genre is called Science FICTION, not Science non-fiction.
“infers” really should have been “implied”. Writer implied he was smart, reader infered “no so much in English.” 🙂
Get over yourself. It’s just a show meant for entertainment. It’s not claiming to be a documentary.
It was awesome
Love it!!!!
