Its debut Adult 18-49 rating was closest to the rating for ABC’s Once Upon a Time. That show survived to make it to a second season. It skewed a more female than Revolution did, though. As it was, Revolution came in at 45% Male/55% Female.
Revolution did have the benefit of three things. First, it got tons of promotion during the Olympics. Second, it had a strong lead in from The Voice, which generated a 4.7 rating last night. Third, it debuted a week before the “official” start of the season. Castle wasn’t on and Hawaii Five-0 was a repeat. They will have their season premieres next week. Last year, Castle had a 3.2 and H5O a 3.4 for their premieres. Next week, Castle will be coming off a season ending “cliffhanger” where Castle and Beckett finally “did it”. So, it could have a strong debut next week for the “morning after”.
Revolution may see its ratings decline in the coming weeks, but this is a good number to start with and leaves more room for possible declines. Personally, I liked the show and I want to see where it goes from here.
Incidentally, 89% of Revolution's viewers watched live.
Fox’s Mob Doctor didn’t even get interest for its first episode. It had a dismal 1.5 A18-49 rating.
