NBC Explains Long Layoff For Revolution

by Ron Rego 1-6-13

Fans had a very loud uproar when they found out that Revolution was going on an extra long break. The break was similar to "The Event" and "Flashforward." The four month break spelled doom for those two shows as reporters pointed that out to NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt during a press tour that the break is terrible. Greenblatt replied, "Is it uniformly terrible, or uniformly terrible for terrible shows?" Greenblatt went on to explain that he wanted to air the show in two big blocks without repeats rather than having two episodes then skip a week or two then show another new episode. He also pointed out he wanted it to follow "The Voice" both times giving them a solid lineup the entire night.

Revolution was a good show for NBC and gives them something to rave about that has been lacking in many years. I am sure it will come back and be successful as I know it is one of the shows I look forward to each week. Its' time slot opponent "Castle" is another show I look forward to as well. Revolution has a great plot and has a good mix for both teen and adult viewers. I can see this show going at least 5 seasons and possibly many more.
