On Monday night, NBC had smashing success with week two of The Voice and the series premiere of Revolution. At 8pm, The Voice was up 1.3 million viewers and a strong half a demo point from last week's premiere. The fact that it went up in week two is a really good sign for the show as it prepares to do battle with Dancing with the Stars and the CBS comedies next week. At 10pm, the series premiere of Revolution was huge for NBC. Initial drop off from The Voice was big (not surprisingly) but it held up well past the 15 minute mark. It ended up being the biggest drama debut since V on ABC in 2009 and the biggest NBC drama debut since The Bionic Woman in 2007. No doubt NBC's marketing paid off big time with this big time premiere for a 10pm drama. But the question is, how does it hold up from here? There have been many event series such as FlashForward, The Event, and Invasion that have had big premieres and not been able to sustain the momentum. It's far too soon to call Revolution a hit but NBC has to be credited with getting a big audience sample.
