NBC has made the first back orders this fall, giving full-season orders to drama Revolution and comedies Go On and The New Normal. “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 NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke. “We’re also very proud of our new comedy block of Go On and The New Normal.”
The news comes on the heels of NBC logging its first outright premiere-week win among adults 18-49 in nine years, fueled by the early success of Revolution as well as The Voice‘s expansion to fall and the ongoing strength of Sunday Night Football. “We’re very pleased with early results of the last three weeks of our fall season roll-out,” said NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt. “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.”
The pickups of Revolution, Go On and The New Normal had been considered no-brainers as the three have been NBC’s strongest new series so far this season. The forecast is cloudier for underperforming new comedies Animal Practice and Guys With Kids.
In three airings to date, Eric Kripke/JJ Abrams’ Revolution has averaged a 3.6 rating/9 share in adults 18-49 and 9.8 million viewers in Live+same say. Its premiere garnered the highest 18-49 rating (4.1) for a premiering drama on any network in three years. Revolution, from Bad Robot and Warner Bros. TV, has slipped in live viewing in Weeks 2 and 3 but has 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 in Live+3. It also has dominated CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 and ABC’s Castle in the Monday 10 PM slot.
Scott Silveri’s Go On is averaging a 3.2/9 in 18-49 and 8.6 million viewers in Live+same day, making it the No.1 new comedy of the fall so far. The regular-slot premiere of the Uni TV-produced comedy starring Matthew Perry scored NBC’s top 18-49 rating for a comedy debut (3.4) in the last two years.
The New Normal is averaging a 2.2/6 in 18-49 and 6.0 million viewers. The comedy hails from Ryan Murphy, Ali Adler and 20th Century Fox TV.

What was the good triple joke u liked
The thing with the grandmother telling the husband what to tell the main female character, him getting distracted by dolphins, and him trying to remember what she said while he was watching the dolphin program. That was hilarious. Go On, on the otherhand, delivers that kind of funny in every joke, and then some. Plus, the writing is excellent, the characters are not one-dimensional and seem to be getting more dimensions every episode, the acting is superb, and it’s an all-around fun 22 minutes.
Revolution is absolutely horrible! After 3 weeks I can’t justify watching this garbage anymore. Doesn’t anyone else notice how cheesy and predictable this show is and will continue to be? They sword fight like pirates, dress like there in the Civil War, can rig up explosives but can’t make ammo? Trying to hard to cash in on the Hunger Games popularity with their lead female.
I’m shocked at how bad Revolution is. It’s not only boring, but everyone is a killer and nasty all the time. Is that how the future would be if the power goes off? Of course not. Utterly dumb show. It could have been so good with some actual writers.
I love Go on and i am a HUGE fan of the New normal i also love Guys with kids and will be very upset if they cut it but would love to see where they take Go on and New normal really hope they will be around for a few more seasons
I won’t be watching Revolution as its less believable than 90210. The premise is interesting but the characters and storyline is not.
It will probably last as its mindless fluff whereas Jericho was too political.
Watch the lead girl in Revolution, she never looks at anyone straight on, always tilting her head with her eyes bugging out. It’s almost like some wierd pschological disorder. Once I noticed this I thought it would make a good drinking game but you would be pissed after ten minutes and probably pass out.
Go On has such obviously liberal overtones (like Rachel Maddow is supposedly brilliant and beautiful or the main character worshiping bob costas after his rant last month).
NBC has always been biased, but now it pervades every aspect of their programming. I’m glad to say that I’m done with NBC and I’m glad to see the outspoken liberal Matthew perry fall flat on his face once again.
Go on is a great well written show
I actually really like revolution, there is lots of action and I like Miles. And I like Charlie. Some stated that they watch just to tell people how bad the show is…that’s just stupid comment! If you don’t like something you just shouldn’t watch it ever after the first episode its that simple! I am glad if they renew this show because lately all good shows are getting cancelled! I think I haven’t enjoyed a show like this since they made Lost…and it’s probably because its made by the same people lol….people should definitely give this show a chance I am curious to see what happens next!
