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 LOVE Revolution!!! I’ve watched it from the beginning and am completely hooked! So happy they brought it back!!! 🙂
I love the show. My son and I watch it every week. If it ends up being cancelled please give it an ending and not leave us hanging.
I lost interest 🙁
Like it a lot…keep it on the air.
I love the show! I’ve watched it from day one and couldn’t wait for it to continue! I have to record it so that I can watch it the next day because I work Monday nights, but I don’t mind at all. I only have a few shows that I can not miss and Revolution is definitely one of them! So as for cancelling or continuing the show, PLEASE continue!!!
I’ve liked Revolution from the get go. I’m a big fan of Billy Burke as well as the other characters. I think the storyline has great possibilities. I get so engrossed in the show sometimes that I’m disappointed when it’s over. I think sometimes people read too much into things and don’t sit back and just enjoy it. I truly hope it is renewed for another season.
I love the show! The relationship between Miles and Charlie is the heart of the show and why I watch it. This must be renewed for another season as there are so many unanswered questions. Can’t wait to find out what happens next.
I really liked the idea of this show. But in the last few episodes they gave a glimpse of what is causing the blackout. A virus that absorbs energy. I don’t remember the cast mentioning if it was only electrical energy. But if you use the generic term of energy absorption. Wouldn’t lighting a fire be cancelled out due to the energy being released due to conversion of wood to fire to heat. Or our own bodies producing energy be kinetic or thermal energy. Since the people on that world are breathing in the virus. This virus would have killed… Read more »
It started out dragging and slow, with some bad acting by the girl who plays Charley and Billy Burke and some other characters. They lost the boy, who at least could act, but he was killed off. They dragged the plot on episode after episode. It should have been fast-paced from the start. Keep it fast-paced. Billy Burke’s acting has improved. The girl who plays Charley only seems to have a couple of emotions: unemotional pissed off killer, or before she was too emotional. Always the same look on her face. She should take acting lessons. She does seem a… Read more »
Love the show! Just waiting on when they announce that Charlie is really Miles daughter! I’ve seen that coming for a few episodes now!
” Revolution. J.J. Abrams is brilliant . His he is a great story teller. ” True, but he is just a producer on this show. He is not telling any part of the story. Eric Kripke is, as he is the show front-runner. Too bad they did not hire anyone with more than a grade 6 education for the science component of this show. It is pure fantasy, and is getting sillier as it progresses. Self-replicating nano-bots with today’s technology? Sure. This may not be cancelled yet, but it will hit 1.5 before this season is done, and the NBC… Read more »
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW. I AM NOT A BIG TV FAN BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW PLEASE PLEASE.
But they haven’t canceled it. No decision has been announced yet that I’ve found.
This show is pretty good. The reason NBC is deciding to cancel it is because they messed it up. Why on earth would you play a show’s first 10 episodes, and then go on a 17 week break??? Who the **** is going to remember anything from the previous episodes???? ******* stupid NBC!!!! THEY ruined this show!!!
I agree. ABC did that with LOST and that is why it went under. These networks need to stop this stuff. There was and exhuberant amount of reruns on all the networks this season. They are hurting themselves by doing this type of programming. Sept-May is a television season so have a new show on EVERY week. DUH
But they haven’t canceled it. And it’s their Number 1 rated show. Would be really stupid to cancel their number one show. I don’t think any network would be that stupid.
The show had an interesting premise, but hasn’t executed. It’s become too predictable, though perhaps they should kill off a few more of the main characters and start back over with some who can act.
I like Rachel and Miles. Those two are great actors. And I think since episode 9 the show has really taken off!
This show had promise but it turned out to be awful!
