Our first new series premieres this week with Revolution hitting the cable waves tonight, Monday night on CityTV here in Canada (concurrent with the US airing on NBC, Mondays at 10pm/9c) at 10 PM / ET. From our recent poll, Revolution landed first place in a three-way tie for of your Most Anticipated New Paranormal Show starting new fall. That makes it easily the Paranormal Pick of the Week:
Revolution Premiere
Monday Sept 17, 2012 at 10PM ET/PT on CityTV
If you need a memory jogger of the show, it's got a survivalist feel and is from both the Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and Lost creator J.J. Abrams are executive executive producers; cast includes Billy Burke (Charlie from the Twilight films), Tracy Spiridakos (Brynn on Being Human North American) and Giancarlo Esposito (Once Upon a Time). Here are also some descriptions of the series:
Original Description: "Follows a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist."
Updated Description: "After 15 years of darkness, an unlikely group sets out to save the world."
Genre: Originally we had this as paranormal, but now it looks a survivalist drama
The People: Both Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and Lost creator J.J. Abrams are executive executive producers; cast includes Billy Burke (Charlie from the Twilight films), Tracy Spiridakos (Brynn on Being Human North American) and Giancarlo Esposito (Once Upon a Time).

I'm definitely interested in Revolution, although I'm a little sad it conflicts with Alphas which is also on Mondays at 10pm on Space until October 22, 2012. Thank goodness for timeshifting! See more about Revolution the cast, crew & show here and the shows website at CityTV and website at NBC.

I am so excited for Revolution! This looks like a fantastic show with a great premise and we should get to see the birth of what can be another epic TV show from Eric Kripke and JJ Abrams. I won’t be able to watch it live tonight, because I’ll be working late at Dish tonight. However, my Hopper will record it automatically with the PrimeTime Anytime feature, as well as any other show on PrimeTime tonight, so I’ll be able to watch it tomorrow morning without having to choose it over any other shows. I can’t wait to check it out and see if it can be as good as it looks!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be interesting to talk to Shannon about Revolution, think I may have enjoyed it more and yes, epic shows are awesome. Did you sense a similarity to Lost though? I hope it isn't too much the same, don't want it to become distracting. Would love to hear what you thought of it and don't forget to vote in our poll!
ReplyDeleteThe ratings were very high for the premiere, at least in comparison to shows we normally talk about.
ReplyDeleteThrilled to hear you are excited about it Anonymous, I hope you liked episode 1 :)
I do sense a Lost vibe, but I think it was intentional and they knew, and they knew we would know, and so they dealt with it intentionally, which I can appreciate. It's odd because often survivialist stuff can be so harsh, and some of it I love, but not all. Will have to chat it out and watch more to really know :)
