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?
It was only the time slot that caused viewers to not watch this show, with a better time slot it would probably be able to have many more seasons. Very shocked and disappointed that it has been cancelled.
Why would they cancel Intelligence? There was nothing wrong with the show just the timeslot! Please CBS!! Renew it!
MAYBE CBS SHOULD GET SOME Intelligence
I think the show was excellent and should have gone to a second season. It should be brought back ,there are other show which are very badly written and lack depth to the story line but some how gets a second season. Over the last few months there has been a number of good shows cancelled. Some one with sence has brought back unforgettable after it was cancelled a while ago. So may be some one out there might just have the insight to bring it back.
WE NEED TO GET A PETITION GOING
I DONT KNOW how to start one etc…
Seems we have ENOUGH people who want it back
WHY does GARBAGE like American Idol; The Voice; Survivor keep going?
I liked the show. It was just on too late, and I wasn’t watching anything leading up to it. I have to get up at 6 PM, so I hate when a good show comes on at 10 PM, EST.
hopefully another network picks this up
this show was good, it was just given a crappy timeslot
nooooooooo….I loved this show
what was CBS thinking???
maybe another network will pick it up
I enjoyed this show. Disappointed to hear it has been cancelled.
Loved this show!,,,,,
Good ratings on Tuesday and then crap ratings on a stupid Monday time slot? Doesn’t this occur to CBS at all. So many people on the net calling for season 2. Why invest time getting into a new series just to be disappointed after one season? Legend Of The Seeker, Terra Nova etc all good but quickly killed off. Let the fans run CBS and at least the good shows will be kept…
Seriously disappointed Intelligence isn’t coming back. On too late? That’s why we have DVRs!
This show is different. I really expected it to be lame.
But it turned out to be the opposite.
It has a great storyline, the acting is spotless and the visual effect are amazing.
There’s seriously no good excuse for cancelling the show.
I agree it’s a great show what was CBS thinking .
Dammit!
I loved the show.
You guys can’t expect the whole world to watch it instantly.
You could at least add another few episodes to it to see if the ratings will be higher.
You guys also left us hanging with the last episode which is unfair to the people who do/did watch the show.
It’s not a smart move to cancel it.
I thought the show was great I never missed it . Wake up CBS
OMG, again?? We lived Intelligence. Now we are left hanging and won’t know how it ends. So sad.
I almost don’t even want to watch a new show anymore. As soon as I invest interest and time in a good show…some genius at the network finds an excuse to cancel it.
This show had a good ensemble cast, good story line etc. Instead some
substandard badly written or worse yet another reality show will be replacing it.
