NBC PICKS UP FULL SEASONS OF THREE ACCLAIMED FRESHMAN SERIES --
"REVOLUTION," "GO ON" AND "THE NEW NORMAL"
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - October 2, 2012 - On the heels of winning its
first premiere week in the A18-49 demographic in nine years, NBC has
picked up three of its new fall series - the adventure-drama
"Revolution" and the comedies "Go On" and "The New Normal" -- for
full-season commitments for the 2012-13 season, it was announced today
by Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment.
"We're impressed with the imagination and creative direction of the
entire team on 'Revolution,' not to mention the immediately strong
response we got from the audience," said Salke. "Ordering the full
season of this show is a pleasure. Thanks to J.J. Abrams, Erik Kripke,
Jon Favreau, and everyone at Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television for
their dedication to making a truly unique series. And I personally
love to escape into a world where there is no power, the phone doesn't
ring, and the pace of life slows down -- if only for one hour a week!"
She added: "We're also very proud of our new comedy block of 'Go On'
and 'The New Normal.' In partnering with Matthew Perry for 'Go On,'
creator Scott Silveri has created a comedy with a highly original
voice that deftly combines humor and emotion. And Ryan Murphy and Ali
Adler have created a truly unique family in 'The New Normal' that is
reflective of the changing dynamics of the world we live in. These
shows are both welcome additions to our new lineup!"
"We're very pleased with early results of the last three weeks of our
fall season roll-out," said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC
Entertainment. "The strategy for this season was to draft off the
promotional platform of the Olympics and then begin our season early
and strong. I think we've accomplished both of those goals, yet we
know it's a long season and there's much work ahead of us. We are so
appreciative of all the great talent that is working so hard on these
shows."
"Revolution" is averaging a 3.6 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 and
9.8 million viewers in "live plus same day" results through its first
three telecasts. "Revolution" debuted on September 17 with the highest
18-49 rating (4.1) for a premiering drama on any network in three
years (since ABC's "V" on October 3, 2009, 5.2) and the highest for a
premiering NBC drama in five years (since "Bionic Woman," September
26, 2007, 5.7). And in the two weeks since then, "Revolution" took on
premiering competition from ABC's "Castle" and CBS's "Hawaii Five-0"
and led that competition in every key demographic both weeks. And the
first two weeks of "Revolution" have set time-shifting records for
NBC, growing by 1.36 ratings points in 18-49 in week one and then 1.74
in week two when going from Nielsen's "live plus same day" ratings to
its "live plus three day" data. Those are the two biggest increases
ever for an NBC telecast. Among series on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, only
ABC's "Modern Family" has ever earned a bigger increases than
"Revolution's" week-two gain of 1.74.
"Go On" is averaging a 3.2 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 and 8.6
million viewers overall in "live plus same day" averages for its first
three regular-slot telecasts, ranking it currently as the #1 new
comedy of the fall (a special preview of ABC's "The Neighbors" also
earned a 3.2). The 3.2 rating is a 33 percent increase on the 2.4 NBC
averaged in the time period last season in 18-49. "Go On's" September
11 regular-slot debut scored NBC's top 18-49 rating for a comedy
premiere (3.4) in the last two years.
"The New Normal" is averaging a 2.2 rating, 6 share in adults 18-49
and 6.0 million viewers overall through its first three regular-slot
episodes, according to Nielsen Media Research. The most recent "New
Normal" telecast retained 74 percent of its 18-49 lead-in from "Go
On," matching its best retention to date and up from 65 percent the
prior week. And in "live plus three day" ratings that add time-shifted
viewing for the first three days after live broadcast, last week's
"New Normal" increased its retention of "Go On" to 87 percent (with a
2.77 rating vs. a 3.19). What would you do without it all? In this
epic adventure from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions and
"Supernatural's" Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an
American landscape where every single piece of technology --
computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights -- has mysteriously
blacked out forever. A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus,
"Revolution" is also about family -- both the family you're born into
and the family you choose. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and
rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman,
Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos, "Being Human"), and her brother
Danny (Graham Rogers, "Memphis Beat"). When Danny is kidnapped by
militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with her
estranged uncle, Miles (Billy Burke, "The Twilight Saga"), a former
U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of
survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia, and
ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while,
they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if --
or how -- it will ever return.
The series also stars Zak Orth ("Romeo + Juliet), JD Pardo ("A
Cinderella Story"), Giancarlo Esposito ("Breaking Bad"), David Lyons
("The Cape"), Maria Howell ("The Blind Side"), Daniealla Alonso
("Friday Night Lights"), Tim Guinee ("Iron Man") and Elizabeth
Mitchell ("Lost"). Kripke, Abrams and Bryan Burk ("Lost," "Star Trek")
serve as executive producers, and Jon Favreau ("Iron Man," "Iron Man
2") serves as co-executive producer. "Revolution" is produced by
Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Bad Robot Productions,
Kripke Enterprises and Warner Bros. Television. The pilot was directed
by Favreau.

/Go On/ is on the bubble in my personal viewing list. This week's
episode left me cold, but I'll give it another week or two.
I'm liking /The New Normal/. If you saw the pilot and thought the
characters were too cardboardy, you might want to give it another
try.

show so far. Sure it's not exactly Shakespeare but it entertains me
and that's really all you can ask. Though I don't expect it to last
beyond this one season, much like "Mr Sunshine."

I have to admit, it got a "strong audience reaction" from r.a.t.

long as you *watch* it. If you watch it like you'd rubberneck at a
spectacular car crash, they still get the ad revenue.
Judging by the amount of traffic Revolution's generated in rec.arts.tv,
it's a rip-roaring success at getting attention, and that's golden as far
as the networks are concerned.

When you can get one person to watch and praise or two people to watch
and snark, I suppose I can see why the network would be just fine with
the latter. Or with both at once. :)
