CBS kept Hostages on the air even though it became obvious that it was doomed to be cancelled after one season. How has Intelligence fared? Will it suffer the same fate or will it be renewed for a second season instead?
On Intelligence, Gabriel Vaughn (Josh 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.
Debuting on a Tuesday night in January, sandwiched between NCIS and Person of Interest, Intelligence’s first episode drew a very healthy 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 16.49 million viewers.
Unfortunately, most of those viewers didn’t return for the second episode the following Monday. That attracted just a 1.2 in the demo with 6.2 million, a decline of more than 50%.
The numbers have risen and fallen since then but have generally been moving downward. Last week’s episode tied a series low in the demo and hit a new low in viewership. Looking at the averages, it’s also the lowest-rated show currently on the network (aside from Saturday night’s 48 Hours).
Like Hostages before it, it’s clear that Intelligence won’t be back for a second season. The ratings are just too low. CBS recently renewed most of their primetime shows for next season. Intelligence was one of the few that were missing from that list.
At this point, we can hope that the producers finished the 13 episodes in a satisfying way.
But, what do you think? Do you like Intelligence? If you were running the network, would you renew it or cancel it to make way for something else?
My sister and I watch this weekly and are greatly disappointed that it is being cancelled. Please reconsider. Thanks.
may 10 we will find out if INTELLIGENCE has been cancel or renewal for season 2. hold om and lets see pk.
Like most good syfi, this show took a few episodes to build up the characters and story lines. I vote to keep and I enjoyed the shows and watched them all, albeit on my DVR.
Truly enjoy the show, my wife and I both watch it. Would love to see a second season. I mean after the last show and that ending, how could it not continue.
I loved the show and should be renewed for season 2
I love this show. Maybe moving it to a different night may increase higher ratings. I have chosen to watch only intelligence, crisis and believe. I look forward to watching intelligence. I can’t wait until Monday night’s. I truly love this show. Please do NOT cancel this show.
Thank you !
I really like the show. It has an unus premise, a great cast & good story lines. Can’t ask for more! Beats the hell out of those mindless comedies the networks are always putting on. They’re really immature & stupid. I honestly don’t understand why people watch them. Personally I either change channels or turn the whole thing off and read. I find them annoying.
This is one of the best shows that CBS has. I watch a lot of crime shows, including CSI, Criminal Minds, Law and Order, etc. You name it, I watch it. Intelligence is different from all those shows. The concept of somebody having a chip in their head is both interesting and brilliant. The graphics when Gabriel utilizes the chip are phenomenal. In many of the episodes, I find myself at the edge of my seat, wondering how they’re going to get out of the mess they are in. It gives me that kind of feeling that I don’t get… Read more »

Maybe with this we help something :/
Enjoyed the show. Should be moved to a different day & time. Get rid some of the rediculous so called “comedies”. Give the cast & crew another chance. ! !
Yes , I loved the show and should be renewed for season 2.
I & my wife both like intelligence, I liked the plot twist to the season finale regarding Peter
Coyote, although I did see it coming. It would be interesting to see how that arc plays out.
IT is one of my favorite shows on television. I watched every week. Please bring it back.
Why cancel the show? It was very interesting and entertaining and and that is all a TV show has to be. Not to mention it has Josh Holloway in it. What more could you want????
Great show! DEFINATELY should advance to 8 seasons at least! DO NOT CANCEL!!!
Please do not cancel Intelligence. It’s a great show, I watched it regularly.
