'Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution' moving to Friday: Do you still watch?
The Emmy-winning "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" continues its mission to change unhealthy eating habits in the U.S. for Season 2 -- but modest ratings have prompted ABC to pull it from its schedule until June, when it will reemerge on Fridays.
Despite its cosy spot before the "Dancing With the Stars" results show, "Revolution" only managed to pull a 1.1 rating in the all-important 18-49 demo during its last original broadcast, April 19.
The episode only averaged 4.7 million viewers over the course of the hour -- while a super-sized "Dancing With the Stars" results show, mostly consisting of clips from the season, averaged 12.85 million viewers in the same spot the following Tuesday.
"Revolution" is currently scheduled to start airing new episodes June 3 at 9:00 p.m. ET, until the six-episode season concludes June 24. And for the viewers who likely missed the first two outings, ABC plans to re-air them, back-to-back, Friday, May 27, starting at 8:00 p.m. ET.
It's a discouraging blow for a show that's been critically well-received -- but we're glad to see it's staying on the air. Are you still watching?

still watching!
it was better as friday filler last season. it doesn't belong on a tuesday night.
I'm not surprised It was pompous crap
I'm definitely still watching it. This will actually work out great for me because "Glee" and "The Biggest Loser" are on Tuesdays at 8. Also, seeing new "Revolution" episodes at 9 on Fridays will give me something to watch between "Flashpoint" at 8 and "Blue Bloods" at 10.
Wow. ABC actually did something that didn't make me want to spit blood. I'd like to think that they will continue in this line of good decision making, but I know better since I and millions of others have been burned by that network many times over the years.
Yep. Nothing better than kicking back with a tub of pork rinds covered in fried eggs, gravy, cheese, butter, bacon, and ketchup and watching an episode of Food Revolution. Deep fried twinkies for dessert.
I am definitely still watching and completely disappointed that it got such low ratings. Maybe America isn't ready to face our realities!
Much better show that that stupid Shark Tank which is on Fridays now. CXL Shark tank and insert this show in there.
Hmmm...watch a show about something educational and perhaps life-saving, or watch people throw away their dignity and self-respect for fame and celebrity......sorry Jamie, this is America!
Definitely! Love the program. Was looking forward to another episode tonight. Immediately changed the channel. Will not be watching ABC tonight. Will definitely be watching when the show return in June.
I'm so disappointed!!! I'm glad it will be on the air and I will definitely be watching.
