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?
Must say i really enjoy the show….. Also becauser it is different then other shows on the tv. New shows need to get some time to get noticed, make season 2 for the fans of Intelligence.
I got even my best friends hooked up on this show, so realy worth it to make season 2 😉
The show was so great , give season 2 a chance a lot will love it. Kindly renew the series.
This show was amazing, if they’d run it an hour earlier they would have gotten the desired numbers
I really loved this show. It was great plots and exciting. Please bring it back.
This is disappointing. It was a good show. Wish it had been renewed.
Please let er be another season i love it! it so cool and i love gabriel and riley!!
I really loved watching Intelligence with Josh Holloway and cast. I thought it was brilliant, exciting, and very entertaining! I am so sorry CBS cancelled it. I think the time slot was not a good one. CBS should have left it following NCIS and moved it once it caught on. Give it a chance and bring it back!!!! It was a great show!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the show and really wish they would bring it back.
We enjoyed this show. Too bad it was cancelled. Love to have it brought back. Canceling good shows like this one and A B’S Major Crimes. Pity.
We watched this show regularly and looked forward to every episode. We believe that the time was too late to draw a good audience . It is a shame to cancel it so soon
I’m disappointed that CBS is canceling “Intelligence”. I found the concept to be intriguing and the plots believable and interesting. In these days of Federal govt intrusion into the privacy of Americans, this is NOT an inconceivable concept.
I loved it 🙁 so sad that it’s gone
I for one am extremely disappointed. It was one of my new favorite series. But given the late timeslot, I would often record it and watch it another day. And I’m quite certain I am not the only viewer to do that. So, my question is: If a show is recorded and viewed later, not viewed during the normal day and timeslot, does it still count toward the ratings??
I am so disappointed to see this show has been cancelled!! It had me hooked from day one! Fell in love with the entire cast! Please bring it back! This show is on the level with NCIS, Person of Interest and Castle.
I don’t watch much TV but I think it sw a very good show much better them a lot of shows that are out there. It had me hooked from day one! Very exciting show.
