NBC has cancelled Revolution Via TV Guide
That was expected.
ReplyDeleteOh yes...such a good year. Hah!
ReplyDeleteDammit!
ReplyDeleteI'm gutted. This season has been improving in my opinion. Although as the silver lining, perhaps this means Kripke and Edlund can come back to Supernatural. Please. I mean I will do anything.

ReplyDeleteI have a feeling something bad is going to happen soon
ReplyDeleteYay. Finally I'm able to stop watching now.
ReplyDeleteDammit!
ReplyDeleteYou feel gutted? Revolution just got attacked by a BEAR.
ReplyDeleteToo bad, loved David Lyons.
ReplyDeleteNBC killed Revolution! Hate you NBC!
ReplyDeleteSaw it coming, but still sad :(.
ReplyDeleteHoping netflix or something else picks it up.
It was execpted but I was hoping it wasn't going to be true I love this show it will be true
ReplyDeleteI will find you. I could use a new rug.
ReplyDeleteThe reign of JJ Abrams seems to be fizzling out. Maybe "The Robot" needs some new blood to reinvent it.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that, in a season that was a turn around for the better, fixing almost every single problem with S1 the show finds itself cancelled
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
ReplyDeletenooo! i love it..!
ReplyDeleteMy turn! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
ReplyDeleteSad to see it go but I knew this could happen. I just hope David Lyons finds work in another tv show.
ReplyDeleteWait, TV Guide says it has been renewed.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest is doing well.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Abrams' extent of involvement pretty much begin and end with him deciding he liked the idea and getting it on the air? Kinda like Believe.
ReplyDeleteI trust Matt Mitovich more than TV Guide.
ReplyDeleteI think it had more to do with Kripke and the other writers than it had to do with J.J..
ReplyDeletePlease, let it be true!
ReplyDeleteNot that this isn't expected, but I'm not seeing a confirmation anywhere else, but that tweet. I'm sure it's going to happen, but...
ReplyDeleteAbrams owns Bad Robot the production company behind Revolution, Believe, Almost Human, etc...
ReplyDeleteAs far as creative input he does have ultimate control, but is for the most part hands off after the pilots. But by proxy of his ownership of The Robot, he is King, and this will reflect on him.
Definitely saw that one coming, not sure whether it's worth catching up with season 2 now.
ReplyDeleteS2 is very good.
ReplyDeleteThis is the one I was waiting on. Disappointing.
ReplyDeleteshowing as cancelleed there to me
ReplyDeleteI agree, but see my other reply below. The buck has to stop with someone.
ReplyDeleteThe first half of S2 is really good. When Connor shows up stop watching.
ReplyDeleteBabar have you deleted your account?! It said this was your comment earlier and now it says guest? Hope you haven't deleted. I liked your input into stuff :(
ReplyDeleteHow is that an official statement at all?
ReplyDeleteI didn't delete my account, just that comment.
ReplyDeleteYep,he always keeps his hands and presences known.It will definitely reflect on Bad Robot as well.
ReplyDeleteMy bad,..
ReplyDeleteI'm at the part where Aaron had a nanite dream episode, how long until it gets bad?
ReplyDeleteOh haha. Good!
ReplyDeleteYep, and I guess I need to start catching up on it.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong though I love Bad robot, and will continue to sample everything it feeds me, but sometimes even a good cook, can serve some slop. Plus I don't like everything in the pantry all the time.
Okay, I am surprised that there aren't more tweets about this on my feed. Joe Adalian, Cynthia Littleton etc have been quiet about this one.
ReplyDeleteYou stopped then,gah!
ReplyDeleteHave not seen an episode since march break, was saving up till finale.... probably wont bother now. As Jack Baeur would say DAMMIT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, the writing for Revolution was terrible imo. Not really down to Abrams if that happens.
ReplyDeleteNO!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll give it a go though. I love Bass, always wanted more of him in season 1.
ReplyDeleteStill surprised you missed this one last year Mr or Mrs. Bear!
ReplyDeleteSHITE!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I just ate it so they'll have to wait a while.
ReplyDeleteGOOD NEWS FANS: https://twitter.com/Snoodit/status/464831345366024192
ReplyDeleteReally? Just now?
ReplyDeleteI was too busy hunting other shows down like Nikita and Warehouse 13. Only managed to wound them though. Got them down to a shortened final season.
ReplyDeleteDrats, but I knew it was distinct possibility. At least Hannibal softens the blow for me.
ReplyDeleteI'll really miss it, but maybe in the next couple of years Abrams/Bad Robot will introduce something else I will really love that will be more successful.
Aww hell no!
ReplyDeleteI hope this is real. And if it is, I hope it means the show will be renewed and not actually cancelled, or at least moved to somewhere else
ReplyDeleteOh! Thanks Babar!
ReplyDeleteAh!!! A morsel possibly stolen from your mouth. How does that make you feel? ;)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't you have eaten something other than Nikita last year?
ReplyDeleteLooks like I don't have to mount you on my wall yet little cub.
ReplyDeleteIt seems they are pulling Revolution out of your stomach, no decision yet as it seems :)
ReplyDeleteThey probably won't like what they find.
ReplyDeleteJust like HIMYD yesterday...
ReplyDeleteI agree. I tried my damndest to watch Revolution, I wanted to like it, but I never could get past some of the the things that just felt unrealistic about it. I know it was technically a fantasy adventure show, but some of the suspension of disbelief it took to follow the plotlines was laughable to me.
ReplyDeleteAt least there is hope... I guess
ReplyDeleteEnraged! Take this away from me and I'm heading straight for Community!
ReplyDeleteBilly Burke must have gotten the wrong message too for he is thanking the fans..
ReplyDeleteYou stay away from Community, you bastard! Go hunt The Crazy Ones instead!
ReplyDeleteBut it will definitely be mangled. ;) :)
ReplyDeleteHe is great in S2. David Lyons really gets to shine in the first half of S2.
ReplyDeleteNow we don't know lol.
ReplyDeleteRevolution had a good thing going, but it got stuck again in the middle of the season and really didn't come to head till now with two eps to go.
ReplyDeletePersonally just talking to other fans and from reading interviews I think Krikpe wanted it be one thing and Bad Robot another and it felt like it's been fighting itself between the rough below-the-belt [mis]adventure story and the metaphysical family saga....
That part was still decent. The last two episodes have been horrible except for one Neville/Charlie scene.
ReplyDeleteCommunity has the Cancellation Bear repellant handy. It's a spell and the wordings are #SixSeasonsAndaMovie ;) :)
ReplyDeleteI could have moved past the terrible acting and sub-par stunts in the pilot if the writing was even average, but you're right, it was just terrible.
ReplyDeleteAbrams has his own faults, but this one is on Kripke.
I want to know about Parenthood damnit!
ReplyDeleteSo I think NBC leaked the possibility of cancellation first so as to see how the internet reacts to it. Looks like they are dangling this morsel right in front of the Bear's mouth.
ReplyDeleteAnd a little digested. That could probably mean a half season renewal.
ReplyDeleteAll hopes haven't been dashed,now they are saying NBC and WBTV haven't made up their minds yet...
ReplyDeleteAnother thing: Matt Mittowich deleeted his earlier tweet.
ReplyDeleteYes they are! And it's infuriating!
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for him, season 2 would have been the worst thing to ever exist.
ReplyDeleteIt's stuck in limbo, like Stephen's dad from Tomorrow People. ;) :)
ReplyDeleteOMG please let it be true that we can have another season of Revolution!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now he's pretending that he was joking: https://twitter.com/MattMitovich/status/464834042639044609
ReplyDelete*shakes head*
I hope we get another season, but we must be ready as Revolution could still be cancelled later
ReplyDeleteIf he was actually joking, it was a bad joke. If he wasn't, he should be more careful from here onwards
ReplyDeleteThis one by Kate Arthur is still up
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/KateAurthur/status/464826645660971008
I find it odd that they haven't made a decision either way. They know that the upfronts are next week right?
ReplyDeleteDRAG IT!!
ReplyDeleteShhhhhhh
ReplyDeletemaybe if we dont say it outloud it wont happen
Unless they pull a Hannibal on Revolution, but I doubt it
ReplyDeleteI wonder if NBC has made up their mind but wanted to contact key creative team and cast members first before making it official?
ReplyDeleteIf so I can respect that.
Not the norm in TVland though so I kinda doubt it.....
Yeah because that usually works.
ReplyDeletecancellation bear you are just so funny:) i have read your other comments here and on other post and it wouldnt surprise me if you happend to be a real bear :P sure you dont want to be a stand up comedian instead of eating tv shows ;)
ReplyDeleteNBC has cancelled Community :(
ReplyDeleteMy heart just stopped beating when I read the news!! (not because I was surprised, but because it finally felt so real) - And then I somehow got it beating again, and went back here to find some comfort in other fans. And then I read it might not be true!! :O Here's to hoping again! :)
ReplyDeleteWell ,shit. It's gone. Community is canned. @CancellationBear Are you happy now? Enough of this massacre.
ReplyDeleteWas Hannibal a late renewal last year? I didn't know that thanks!
ReplyDeleteyou already canceled some of my favorite shows, dont try to go after revolution. Im beggin you
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that?!
ReplyDeleteIt was cancelled when NBC enforced a second hiatus that close to the season finale. If that was to give it better ratings, NBC would have made the hiatus long enough to push it past competition, and filled the space with spackle.
ReplyDeleteLoL!!!
ReplyDeleteNow it's gone
ReplyDeleteOkay, now it's cancelled!
ReplyDeleteThey sure played a bit of ping pong with the hearts of the people who watched the show.
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeletei think im going to cry
SO WHAT IS IT RENEWED OR NOT?
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm dead now
ReplyDeleteofficialLY CANCELLED
ReplyDeleteCancelled........ :(
ReplyDeleteNBC was not good enough for Revolution!!!
ReplyDeleteNBC Sucks. I will never watch another NBC show again. :(
ReplyDeleteNever watched it. Didn't look that good
ReplyDeleteExcept for the Blacklist
ReplyDeleteYes to Westworld!!!!
ReplyDeleteFinally they cancel it. All this 'have they haven't they' crap reminds me of Friends.
ReplyDeleteFrom your lips to God's ear!!! If only the world ever worked that well!
ReplyDeleteSander's was probably flipping a coin 100 times and tallying the result. Seems to be how they decide Bubble shows at NBC.
ReplyDeleteAfter the 17 week midseason hiatus last year, I'm surprised it lasted this long.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he'll get something else. Of course, if NBC hadn't just screwed them around to make sure the ratings kept plunging and actually cancelled it earlier, he could have gotten on something for next fall...grrrrrrrrr. Definitely the one person I'll be looking for in future projects!
ReplyDeleteAbrams is really just a figure head for all of these shows. He needs to hire good people and let them do what they do best - and not stick his fingers in the pie - too many cooks in Revolution to my mind.
ReplyDeleteReally! I'm so freaking bummed now..
ReplyDeleteThat repellent sucks.
ReplyDeleteI predicted it would be pulled by mid-season second season after they invalidated the end of season one in the first episode of season two. The total genre change, degradation of pace, and cramming in even more plot holes, made season two fail. Too bad for the fans that Kripke is not going to give it a proper ending (based on the trailer for next week) even though he knew what was coming. At least he was a nice guy to the cast though, with all the demo reel material they shot over the last few episodes, most should find it pretty easy getting attached to a new show.
ReplyDeleteDamn. But kinda saw it coming! :/
ReplyDeleteI'll miss the Miles-Monroe banter!
Not surprising but still a downer. The second season was a marked improvement over its first.
ReplyDeleteMONSTER!
ReplyDeleteThey should have pitched to a different network, like ABC or even the CW
ReplyDeleteNOOOO !!!
ReplyDeleteI honestly haven't watched it yet. :(
ReplyDeleteWell NBC sucks always. I hope the show get at least a good series finale.
ReplyDeleteToobad. The show was so great this year :(
ReplyDeleteThey do have some really good shows even if they make bad decitions sometimes. Hannibal is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of directing and acting, yes. In every other respect, no. Plot, pacing, plot holes, and a genre change from action to mystery/thriller without any mystery or thrills. Meandering is not a genre. At least we did get to see that most of the cast could act, unlike the first season. Looking forward to seeing most of them in new shows.
ReplyDeleteDamn! It has been way better than the first season...
ReplyDeleteBased on the pilot for the finale, it is not. Probably with a lot of magic from the nanites, and sudden, schizophrenic character alterations to fit the desired outcome. Still hoping against hope that Aron will figure out that fridge magnets kill nanites.
ReplyDeleteDamn it every other show of mine got renewed and Revolution was the last one i was waiting for news off.
ReplyDeleteSad to hear this, love the show.
ReplyDeleteOk , too bad, but can we get Ben Edlund back to SPN now please?
ReplyDeletePoach Lyons while you are at it. I could easily build a SPN spinoff around him alone.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with a bit of optimism ;)
ReplyDeleteNO! NO! DAMN YOU NBC!
ReplyDeleteThe logical part of me knows that it was coming, it wasn't really a good show, but I liked it...
Now all my bubble shows have been canceled. I need a drink... or 10 maybe
ReplyDeleteI would have taken a 13 episode season to wrap things up properly.
ReplyDeletedamn, there goes another one of my shows.
ReplyDeleteRight there with ya!!
ReplyDeleteMeh. This is the worst cancellation for me this year. So disappointed! :(
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooooo - but it was expected, still hope dies last.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apRSsBrz7i8
ReplyDeleteYou know the only problem about being right is that now I have nothing to make fun of next year!
ReplyDeleteThis one hurts the most :(
ReplyDeleteWell, it was pretty boring to be honest, so I can't say that I'm surprised. It was a good watch, and I am gonna miss Tracy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to the fans.
ReplyDeleteEdlund has been missed. I don't see him coming back but I hope he does.
ReplyDeleteEdlund back to Supernatural for season 10? He has been missed this season.
ReplyDeleteThis really sucks, I really liked this show, there's been way too many cancellations today. With the way Revolution is going so far, it seems like they might not end the show properly. I just hope it doesn't end in a cliffhanger. I'm going to miss Miles and Monroe and the whole gang, one of the coolest casts on TV!
ReplyDelete=(
ReplyDeletei really wanted a third season...
They didn't it was going to get cancelled so I think it might end on a cliffhanger.................. :(
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes!
ReplyDeleteThis sucks. NBC sucks. They are making a mistake in cancelling such a wonderfun show.
ReplyDeleteIkr, this really sucks :( today was just horrible, way to many cancellations.
ReplyDeleteThey can't possibly use that excuse. Ratings have been poor for weeks. I've expected the cancellation for about 2-3 months.
ReplyDeleteAbrams lately has been playing more of a producer, but recant interviews with those he has worked with do site his executive position and he does often give suggestions. In Revolution's case, for instance, Kripke came to Abrams with his pitch, but Abrams sites in an interview before the first season with EW that he thought is sounded too much like "The Stand" so suggested the blackout and nano-tech aspects. This season Kripke also said that the nanites story was "the Bad Robot glaze of the season"...Michael Pitts was previously an assassinate to Abrams during Star Trek (2009), he since has become a story editor and is a consultant and co-writer on some of Revolutions more recant episodes.
ReplyDeleteI definitely see signatures of both Kripke/Supernatural (dialogue especially with older male characters, references to SNR + themes) and Abrams (Alias, Lost, Fringe + major references to those works Ie: "Home" in parallel "The Truth Takes Time", "Kashmir in parallel "The Passage Pt 2", Lost rifs, several Bad Robot actors make juxtaposed role appearance, Nanites = Smoke Monster + Observers + Fringe "firefly" concept + "Green Mana",, ect), but I think in some ways they were fighting each other in terms of being that metaphysical family saga verses a war torn near satiric misadventure story.
Yeah but who knew.. When I saw that Hannibal had been renewed, I almost thought Revolution would be renewed as well.
ReplyDeleteRevolution is the only one that I cared about on NBC.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the shows I watch have been renewed or are waiting to be renewed ( I hope! )
NBC should just give up on any future production. They fail almost every time.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, though I do like Parks and Rec and About a Boy, which are safe thankfully, but man, Revolution was so unlike anything on TV, it was one of my new favorite shows.
ReplyDeleteWell it's not like Revolution was the only thing to go, but poor Believe and Almost Human (which IMO is more Fox's fault). I think that for whatever reason Kripke and Bad Robot were at odds, because so many fans felt pulled between the two different story lines and I think Supernatural fans in particular really hated the nanite story line, which according to Kripke, was the Bad Robot part of it.
ReplyDeleteI would agree except that I think it's clear that Abrams wants the company to stand for particular things. It's not like Abrams went to Kripke either, it was the other way.
ReplyDeleteRevolution once was one of my favorites shows but then I don't know, I got bored but I just kept watching and I don't regret it at all, now it's become really intense compared to the first half of season 2!
ReplyDeleteI felt that battle when I tried watching Season 1.
ReplyDeleteI hated the writing, the pacing, the family focus (all Kripke), but I liked the conspiracy, mystery and dystopian/ utopian elements (Bad Robot).
I knew from the first handful of episodes that I disliked the pacing and writing and it would likely not change to favor a more slow burning, heavy mythology type of show I like.
Honestly, That was my initial worry with the show as I recall, the Kripke involvement. Sure, it could have been cancelled even if JJ was writer/ producer/ director and Kripke was not involved, but I did not see the two styles working into one cohesive series.
Oh yeah, that's true
ReplyDeleteIf NBC cancels all its shows, it could at least keep Revolution. Or maybe, do a season with 13 episodes to conclude the show.
ReplyDeleteoh damn... just when the show got really good.
ReplyDeletethis is what I thought as well XD
ReplyDeletePity.... on the plus side, can Eric go back to SPN and clean up that mess now please?
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched it at all since the beginning of S2, I really lost interest after Charlie's brother died and she was being an uber "female dog", I couldn't stand her character anymore and wouldn't watch it. I feel bad for the peeps that liked the show though. :(
ReplyDeleteThat'd be nice. Or maybe they can go to the spin off and help it out because I thought the backdoor pilot looked god awful.
ReplyDeleteYay, now I don't have to catch up to it from S01E03 onward. I liked the show a lot, but as I went on I was able to see where it was going to go, and after The brother died, I knew this would not last long, and there you have it. It didn't
ReplyDeletesorry for the people who were watching it, I feel you.
please PLEASE! come back a save your other show the Fans need you Kripke but I will not get my hope up on that too.
ReplyDeletePlease let them bring Edlund and Kripke back!! I miss Edlund's zany episodes and would love to see some more Kripke episodes since that is quite honestly his legacy!
ReplyDeleteToo late...backdoor pilot didn't get picked up...let's just bring them back to Supernatural :D
ReplyDeletei wounder how they are going to end the season, now that's also the serie-final...
ReplyDeleteturn the power on..?
So true
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I read the creator said there were going to be a couple of clifhangers. At least I hope they do something with the nanos in the finale
ReplyDeleteThey did it in like 10 minutes on episode 15, so it's not impossible.
ReplyDeleteThat blows I thought revolution was a great show even though it got turned around into a sci-fi, it was still pretty Interesting, and the story was good. You cant say it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteAww, no Nate then. Hopefully his character on TVD will get brought back before the other side crashes for good. Just knowing that he's out there somewhere alive is good for me, even if he rarely guest stars on TVD or TO.
ReplyDeleteFirst, it was a SciFi from day one - as per Kripke treatment, script, and PR statements. Secondly, yes we can say the story was not good. It was fine in season one where there was an actual plot, but in season two it was almost procedural in the meandering mess that stumbled from episode to episode with only the thinnest threads to tie them together. The majority of season two was supposed to be the war against the patriots, yet with only one episode left we have had *one* minor skirmish!
ReplyDeleteThe Miles and Monroe from season one could have taken them on buy themselves as insurgent style tactics and done far more damage. You also obviously missed the fact that Charlie's army suddenly disappeared last episode. This season was a total mess and Kripke proved that the success of Supernatural was mostly due to his production team on that show.
They said that back before Kripke was slapped with a second hiatus. If he has any sense, he was re-shooting/editing the last episode. If not, he is going to burn a lot of fans.
ReplyDeleteJust when I started to really enjoy this...so I guess there willl be a big cliffhanger and no answers? Though, I actually don't care 'bout answers, especially not the sci-fi subplot, the characterdevelopment though...of season 2 that is...but while writing this...I start to realize, I'm pretty relieved it's canned, well...tme to find new shows I guess!
ReplyDeleteIt is pure BS though. Sixteen years without maintenance means there are no functioning power grids on the planet. Besides, as soon as the nanites started becoming artificially intelligent, they stopped eating all the power - as they were too busy developing the most complex code ever. So the power should be working, there is just no way anyone is going to notice it.
ReplyDeleteThe brother did not die until about episode 9. You would have choked when you saw Rachel and Charlie basically shrug their shoulder and start working with Monroe at the start of this season. Then again, you would have been distracted with about 50 plot holes (over the entire season so far).
ReplyDeleteNo. The show is doing just fine without him. It was his co-creator and the rest of the production team that were doing most of the good work on SPN. Kripke can set up basic plots, but has no ability to develop them without a heck of a lot of help.
ReplyDeleteIf it were so wonderful the ratings and reviews would not be so horrible. If the show is costing more than it makes, it has to be cancelled.
ReplyDeleteIf the finale is unsatisfying I'll just watch episode 15 again and stop it before the nanos get the code. And then, may Revolution RIP. Will be missed.
ReplyDeleteWe all did the second NBC hit Kripke with a second hiatus. It is almost guaranteed that it came with a wrap order. If Kripke ignored that, and burns the fans, he should plan on take a few years off as they will remember.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! He is missed. Hope Kripke stays away from it though.
ReplyDelete
