‘Revolution’ Gains Momentum This Week in Ratings

At 10, “Revolution” (2.1/6 in 18-49, 6.3 million viewers overall) was up a bit over last week’s preliminary estimate and should finish up about 11% in the nationals. The network went with more emotional, uplifting promotions leading up to this episode and that may have helped hold on to more of the core female audience from “The Voice.” In the 10:30 p.m. half-hour, “Revolution” matched last week’s rating in men 18-49 (1.5) but surged by 16% in women 18-49 (2.2 vs. 1.9).

‘Revolution’ Tops 10 o’clock Timeslot, but Slips to Series Low

Good news first: Revolution topped the 10 o’clock timeslot Monday. The bad news: It dropped to its lowest rating to date.

The NBC drama slipped 7 percent to 7.1 million viewers and a 2.6 in the adults 18-to-49 demographic behind lead-in The Voice (11.5 million, 4.3), which also fell slightly. Revolution still topped Hawaii Five-0 (7.7 million, 2.0), which was flat, and Castle (10.7 million, 2.1), which was up, in the demo, but it was the least-watched show among the three.

Can ‘Revolution’ Fans Keep Momentum Leading Into 4 Month Hiatus?

At 10 p.m., Revolution on NBC finished third in the overnights with a 4.8/ 8. But that beat year-ago occupant Rock Center With Brian Williams (2.7/ 5 on 11/07/11) by 78 percent and it will lead the time period in the demo. My concern regarding Revolution is the upcoming hiatus, which tends not to work to the advantage of any new series.

Revolution finished with 7.74 million viewers and dropped from 3.0 rating last week to a 2.9 rating this week.

Final Ratings for Last Night’s ‘Revolution’

Earlier I posted “ratings” which included false numbers for those who had the news on instead of ‘Revolution’ due to Hurricane Sandy.  Official ratings, not including those who were affected by Sandy are out.  ’Revolution’ dropped to a 3.0 (lowest) rating and had 7.9 million (lowest) viewers.  Once again, this does not included the potential fans that would have watched and were affected by the power outages last night.  We should be back to our steady rating trend next week or maybe an increase!

‘Revolution’ still continued to have the highest ratings for the 10pm hour and NBC won the night overall!

‘Revolution’ Holds Steady During Hurricane Sandy

Revolution came back last night after a week hiatus with a 3.1 rating (-6%) and 8.39 million viewers.  With over 6 million people without power (literally) on the east coast, however, viewership and ratings may not be 100% accurate.  Some with working broadcasts were switched to their local weather outlets meaning anyone with their sets on at 10pm on NBC could affected the ratings.

‘Revolution’ Rises and Stays Dominant in Ratings

Revolution delivered 8.8 million viewers and a 3.4 rating (last night for its 5th episode “Soul Train”), reversing its gradual downward-ebbing trend. That’s up 13 percent from last week and marks a three-week high for the show.

Revolution 1x05 Soul Train 010 300x199 Revolution Rises and Stays Dominant in RatingsRevolutions‘s powerful lead-in The Voice (12.8 million, 4.6) was perfectly steady with last week’s rating, so that didn’t boost it. Both of Revolution‘s 10 p.m. rivals — CBS’ Hawaii Five-0(8.4 million, 2.0), up 5 percent, and ABC’s Castle (10.9 million, 2.0), down 9 percent — aired original episodes, so there wasn’t softer competition last night. In fact, you could say there was more competition since Fox (which normally doesn’t program 10 p.m.) had baseball playoffs going late into primetime. So can we credit Revolution itself for this gain then? “I don’t know of any artificial reason for the increase, looks legitimate to me,” one network ratings analyst emailed.

Revolution was a big swing that many us thought would open to a sizable number, but we worried whether the J.J. Abrams-produced drama could sustain itself given the track record in recent years of other serialized high-concept sci-fi shows like The EventAlcatraz,FlashForward and VRevolution does, however, have one very important thing going for it: It’s better than those shows.

Also, NBC just put out an announcement: For the first time in 10 years, the network has won the first three weeks of the broadcast season in the adult demo. Moment of silence for this milestone … now back to Monday’s rundown.  EW.com
