Looks like you're ready for a "Revolution".

NBC's new mystery series premiered to a strong 11.7 million viewers and a 4.1 rating in the adults 18-to-49 demographic on Monday.



That is a huge improvement from last year's premiere of "The Playboy Club", which drew 5 million viewers and a paltry 1.6 rating.

According to NBC, "Revolution's" debut is the top non-preview network drama premiere since 2009 (ABC's "V") and NBC's biggest drama premiere since 2007 ("Bionic Woman").





"Revolution" was the top-added new show on TVGuide.com users' Watchlists.

Last fall, "New Girl" was the No. 1-added new show and also debuted strongly to 10.3 million viewers and a 4.8 rating, making it Fox's biggest scripted fall premiere since 2001's "The Bernie Mac Show".

"New Girl" was just one hit Watchlist users correctly predicted last season.



"Revolution's" lead-in "The Voice" enjoyed a healthy bump, rising 10 percent to win the night with up a healthy 13.4 million viewers and a 4.6 rating.
