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?
I am enthralled with the show. I want to see more. Look at how long Lost lasted????
I think this show is great and our whole family looks forward to watching it each week. Yes, of course, most of it is unrealistic but aren’t most shows? The actors are great and so is the writing. It’s an interesting concept and we’d like to see more. Thanks!!!!
Please bring it back, it is such a good show compared to some of the STUPID ones that are on TV now.
I tried to like this show, but there is nothing to like or enjoy watching. Bad writing, bad acting (still whiny), the premise that all ways of generating power is lost (water power perhaps?) It appears that more people are beginning to see that it is time to turn the lights out on this show.
Love, love the Revolution. Please bring it back next season!!
JJ Abrams and NBC YOU HAVE A CULT FOLLOWING and a HIT I have been in broadcasting almost 30 years and I know a hit when I see one. Remember LOST’s 6 seasons and well FOX was do damned picky about Alcatraz because I think you had a hit there too. I love the edge on the seat, what is going to happen next, just like LOST. Keep it up and the 8 million plus viewers will continue to watch. Some people are just to picky and won’t even give the show a chance and I’ll bet they are NOT… Read more »
You have got to be kidding me, this show is god awful at best. This show had tons of potential but totally screwed the pouch with terrible writing and amature at best acting. I say after thirty years you’ve lost your touch at being able to spot a hit, this show won’t make it past it’s second season.
Episode 4 Season 1; amazingly stupid sequence with the guard dogs, appears to have input from PETA in that no one came up with a way to dispatch those evil mutts. Worse thing to do is run, what is the first thing they do? Run. Guy gets bit, they get chased into the friggin diner. No one thinks about whackin the mutts. Kinder gentler, they should all become dog poop why don’t we. I like dogs, but those were trained to be evil. Not the dog’s fault, but I didn’t see any dog mutter’s around.
This show seems to have done very little research and depends on stereotypes and urban myth. It is based on government collapse due to lack of electric power. Real scenarios have been developed for a number of major events. An IMP strike across the USA would be comparable to the scenarios in Revolution. This would shut down power and destroy a lot of electrical devices. It would have a major impact on transportation. When you look at these types of scenarios the impact to transportation greatly impacts the movement of food into cities. The lack of power impacts the availability… Read more »
Yes, SGU was far more realistic. Please. So is Walking Dead. It is no further a distance to a Stargate than to no electricity. Sci-Fi is Sci-Fi. It requires you to lose yourself in the theory of the show… no matter what it is (a federation of united planets, western-like train robbers in space, aliens of any form landing on earth, etc.) and the nice thing about this is you know JJ and friends have some interesting twists and turns in store. This is as close as we get to Lost (including some of it’s great character actors!)… Yes, I… Read more »

I CAN’T STAND this show!! Tried to get into it but just can’t do it. It’s a sad thought to think that all the work we have put into solar energy… wind mills… and the energy created by running water has been a waste of time! Apparently if the lights go out, we become stupid and we forget all about these other resources. But hey, after 15 years with the world in the dark, they can FINALLY get a train running briefly in the upcoming episode!! Please take this stupid show off the air!!!
I think you didnt understand that the point of the show is that all form of electricity is not working anymore…solar energy, wind mill…would be used to create ELECTRICITY…yeah sure you can get energy but to do what if you cant transform it in electricity? Almost everything now is working with some kind of electrical element like cars. The train is running on coal…its not the same thing at all. They could get very old cars working..the one running only on gas but where do you get the gas???
It’s too family friendly for me really. It will get cancelled
Whiny kids, whiny uncle. Ridiculous premise, like we can magically store electrical reactions and turn it off at will. And turn it back on with a pendant. There needs to be some truth to science to be science fiction. I’d rather see a story of people coping in this new world then watch the Whiny’s. I would have left the kid to her own by now.
