I don't see Revolution being a Wednesday game-changer, but it seems likely to hold up better than Smash, at least well enough that NBC can reasonably stick with it within this season. It was much heavier-DVRed than Smash, had more male viewers, and it was basically even across the last two months of the season as The Voice dropped by nearly two points. All of that suggests there is more distinct audience here. It's competing with unspectacular-rated reality series and comedies which shouldn't cross over that much. And though the lead-in is gone, it's at least gotten promoted within The Voice, while Smash showed up right in the middle of NBC's disaster times.
Over/Under: 1.75.

I'm probably going to regret this, but I think it will hold up enough for a 1.9, so over.
The show had no creative direction at the end of last season. I think people have caught onto that bankruptcy, and won't waste more time w/ it. Under.
I wanna say over badly because I agree 100% with all of your arguments, especially the DVR one and the competition one. But I just don't see it being 0.2 lower than the voice boosted finale. As much as I am rooting for it, it has to be under.
I have little confidence that it can get as high as 1.8 after the move. Under.
Under. 1.6 or 1.7.
Under. It's going to be around 1.5/1.6 for the premiere, but I can see it going towards 1.1/1.2 by the end of the season.
I used to think this show had promise, both creatively and ratings-wise. Not anymore.
Under. Its the sort of show that I expect to lose viewers over the summer.
Maybe I should go with the majority after the last two nights.
Under at a 1.6
I predicted another Smash Crash with this one, and although I like the scheduling more now than I did then, that ain't getting it over this line. Under at about a 1.6.
I say it surprises greatly. Over at 2.5.
This is a good test of its True strength. Under
I like your moxy. And I'm already on record for 1.9, so Over.

Rethinking this: DVRs, OnDemand and a VERY soft competition... it may surprise everyone, after all.
Or not.
