Josh Holloway enjoyed a long run on Lost but unfortunately he hasn’t been as lucky with Intelligence. The CBS TV show has now been cancelled after one season of 13 episodes.
On Intelligence, Gabriel Vaughn (Holloway) is a high-tech intelligence operative who’s been enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain. It allows him to be connected directly into the global information grid. Other castmembers include Marg Helgenberger, Meghan Ory, Michael Rady, John Billingsley, P. J. Byrne, Tomas Arana, Lance Reddick, and Peter Coyote.
After the failure of Hostages, the network was hoping for Intelligence to be a ratings hit to fill their Mondays at 10pm timeslot. It wasn’t to be. Despite some impressive star talent and special effects, the show couldn’t draw enough viewers.
The network debuted it after NCIS on a Tuesday night and the show drew decent numbers but, once it moved to its regular Monday night slot, the ratings tanked. The season of 13 episodes averaged a 1.3 demo rating with 6.85 million viewer, making it one of the lowest-rated shows on the network.
That wasn’t good enough to mandate a second season renewal so Intelligence has been cancelled. The final episode aired on March 31st.
What do you think? Did you like this Josh Holloway series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think it didn’t catch on?
ohh nooo.. i love the series.
What a disappointment! This was the only show that I was watching for previews for the start date this fall. This was my new favorite show! What the heck is wrong with people? Don’t they know a good thing when they see it? What a shame! I had my DVR set to record just in case I missed it but that was very rare…
I wished that good shows were given a chance.
This is bullsh!+, keep it going for at least one more season to give it a chance or sell it to another station, this was one of my favorite shows!!! F
What a shame. That was one of the few new shows worth watching. It was clever and funny. I don’t get it. 🙁
Dumb move cbs I dvr’d this every week I couldn’t wait for the next episode! Keep it
running or sell it!!!!
very disappointed that you fruit loop ding dongs cancelled this show
unbelievable that you would cancel this show!!! it was a great series with so many possibilities.. one of the few series i actually tuned in to CBS to watch!
Another great show bites the dust because the morons that run the networks either don’t know great content when they see it or they don’t have a true grasp of how many actually watch a show. Do they count the multitude who record on DVR’s to watch at a more convenient time? I only watch DVR’d shows- this way I can stream thru the commercials. Haven’t seen a commercial in years!!
Excellent show. You made a mistake with this one.
I am extremely disappointed that CBS cancelled this show. In addition, with their current strike with Dirctv, I am considering not watching ANY SHOW that comes on CBS. Every time there’s a new series that has a different angle & new plot, something different besides CSI, CSI MIAMI, CSI NEW YORK… blah, blah, blah… they take it off the air. I get tired of watching the same friggin’ plot, just labeled with a different city. It’s like ER. Once you have a hit series, then everyone wants on and creates their version. I thought the creators of Intelligence did an… Read more »
This really stinks. This was one of the best show on tv. Well this is one more reason not to watch cbs. The only new show I’ve seen that looks promising so far is NCIS New Orleans. I am not surprised though, the big networks have a tendency to do that sort of thing (ABC, CBS and NBC). They get a good show and lose it. CBS almost cancelled NCIS on its first season. So what does that say about them.
A very short sighted decision. IMHO this was an excellent series which was absorbing and had great potential.
At this rate one wonders whether anything worthwhile can be expected from CBS, other than populous high rating dross.
Do a good thing CBS.
Sell the TV Serie Intelligence to another company that can take over it.
Intelligence is already good TV serie, but if you CBS not like it or see it , Sell it.
So we fans can continue season 2 in the future.
AMEN TO THAT
for real it should continue be cause it was a great series.
