So far, Revolution is the biggest hit of the new television season. It premiered to a huge 4.1 adults 18-49 rating. It held up well in its second week, beating the season premieres of Castle and Hawaii Five-0 head-to h-head with a 3.4 adults 18-49 rating. NBC is touting how well the second episode did in Live +3 ratings. In theory, this could be a strong week for Revolution since interest in its competitors might have peaked with their season premieres and the odds that this week's Monday Night Football Game will be an insane as last week's are very slim. On the other hand, The Event premiered big on NBC then declined steadily. The question remains: is Revolution the next Once Upon A Time or the next Fast Forward? Take your best guess.
I’ll go ahead and say a 3.0 rating. Still respectable though.
loved the “Actual Worldwide Blackout Occurs at 10PM; Nielsen Does Not Release Ratings”.
Somewhere around 8 million, 2.5-2.9 18-49.
From what I understand I think the show will fall from a great height.
3.0
This show is one of the most hyped up overrated piece of junk I’ve seen in a while.
Bears vs Cowboys on MNF. Two teams with large followings will probably impact the ratings for Revolution (and everything else) tonight. I’ll guess 2.9
The next Flash Forward 3.2
3.1
I think the show is going to stabilize around high 2s and it might hit low 3s occasionally.
Its going to fall fast and hard
2.8
Could be low three’s, but I’m voting in the 2.5-2.9 range. I think it’ll take another hit and follow the trajectory of shows like The Event, Flash Forward, Alcatraz, etc.
I think where shows like this really die off is when they start with reruns or go on hiatus. Your average police procedural can keep going. Serialized dramas don’t fare so well.
Even if it drops to 3.0-3.4, most of the loss should be blamed on a better MNF matchup (fanbases). I see it bouncing back to a 3.5 sometime this fall, it all depends on MNF matchups.
Does location of the show matter? Revolution is a Midwest/Chicago based show. Chicago Bears are playing Monday night.
I voted 3.5-3.9 just on the fact that I know H50 fans that are choosing Revolution over it for their live viewing.
It survived vs H50 and Castle’s premiere.
It can happen again.
Match up last week #s.
Sara Bibel has a sense of humor.
Dear God put us out of our misery with this trash. I did watch the premier and was bored and hated the entire thing. I actually thought the loss of electricity was intersting but they should have focused on that maybe not skip so much time. Anyway, I predict that Hawaii 5 0 will go up in ratings not to beat anything specifically but I think that rating last week was too strange for it to continue that low.
Blackout, aka Bears-Cowboys.
I say around a 3.0
I simply don’t understand why people hate this show and compare with non-sense shows like LOST.
@bob
Yeah NBC are gonna cancel this show right now cause it’s doing sooo bad in the ratings
