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?
I love this show, it’s the only show that I look forward to each week!
Shocked, angerd and very disheartened carnt believe it was canceled. Should be a second series or at least a final ending.
I really enjoyed it I think they should make a second season
Really enjoyed the show. Bring it back
Really annoyed with these anerican networks and show only showing limited episodes without noticing people they have short runs it makes me very wary to start watching any of them anymore no wonder they don’t get ratings .
They should keep going with it!!!
I think it got cancelled because it has gotten too close to the truth of what’s happening RIGHT NOW in the american government. The threat of islamic terrorism has gotten right to the White House and even have a muslim sleeper agent as president. This show highlights how close the threat has come to american borders and how close it is to the american people.
I’ve only just found out that Intelligence has been cancelled and I’m so disappointed. It had become one of my favourite shows and I thought that there was more mileage to be had in the way of story lines. I was especially looking forward. to watching the relationship between Gabriel and Riley develop. Shame on you CBS
This was a great show can’t believe it’s been cancelled , easily one of the best shows i watch at the moment
Was popular in the UK but perhaps for the wrong reasons.
Great story and supporting cast in particular, but just not the role for Josh. He was loved and hated in Lost as Sawyer and he played that character brilliantly. Known in the UK for playing a ‘badie’ not a good guy. Maybe should stick to that or come up with a new staring role. Sorry Josh I thought you were awesome in Lost !
Think CBS should have realised once they moved it and the viewing figures dropped they should have moved it back…because of their lack of common sense people are missing out on a very good programme.
It’s a great show and should get a second season I feel it needs more action in the episodes feel the action a bit slow needs more pace. But give it another chances
They always take the good shows off I only watch a few shows don’t think I want to watch any thing else now
Maybe this was too much over the heads of general public. I am an avid fan of POI and saw this as a good series to run alongside. Plots were good, acting good and cast brilliant. Always looked forward to it being aired here in UK. I blame CBS for putting it on a day that didn’t suit it. Re-run at a different time and day and then re-decide!! Just cause it didn’t hiy first time, it gets pulled. Think back to the first pilot of startrek, that failed and had to be tweaked.
Oh come!!pleaseput the show back on…that was 1 of my show that I always looking forward to watch it evry Thursday nigth evry week .when I realise the show wasn’t on I was very upset…so plea….se let the show goes on cant wait to see what happen next .
