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 have just watched the last episode of season one. Please bring it back, i have enjoyed watching it very much. It is one of the best series on TV.
This is a great series and I am annoy that there is no second series
I cant understand why no second series this is an amazing programme
Thought it was a great idea, enjoyed the series a lot, shame it’s cancelled.
What are CBS playing at this was a really good series, different, which makes a change and now they have cancelled. What is it with USA programmers. Yet such as CSI etc. carry on and are so predictable. At least Intelligence was a little futuristic enough to make it stand out from the rest. Come you other Channels pick it up and lets have more.
Great series!
The decision to cancel just after first 13 episodes is definitely wrong!
CBS should listen to foreign markets like Europe too.
Intelligence had great perception ratings here.
Definitely a mistake. (something like that happened to StarTrek original series long time ago)
Am a UK viewer of Intelligence and have thoroughly enjoyed the series so am really p***ed off it’s cancx!! Any chance it could be taken up by another tv channel? There are some really awful series on tv just now but Intelligence is fast paced, intriguing and edge of the seat stuff.
For a TV series to succeed in the usa it has to suck up to the theory that they are holier than though. This program suggested there was corruption in the government and didn’t hold up to the normal propaganda crap that comes out of America and never show them to be wrong or in a bad light.
Please bring the show back it was great..I am so sick of all the crap on TV….make it earlier on another night not against the big gun shows
Great show, one of my favourites. Rubbish that it’s cancelled.
Why do the TV companies keep doing this? Im sick to death of shows not being given a decent chance. I’ve just heard 2 of my favourite shows have been cancelled Intelligence and The Tomorrow People. Why bother to even show them here in the Uk when you know they are going to be cancelled. Obviously nobody listens to the fans in America or here in the UK. A waste of time and money.
Fantastic series, can’t believe it’s been cancelled …….. Gutted!!!!
what a shame just got into the show it was great something different
hope the accountants and bean counters don’t look at any other program’s
I AM ABSOLUTELY GUTTED THAT THERE IS NO SEASON TWO PLEASE RECONSIDER I WILL MISS WATCHING IT
Absolutely gutted that this is not going to return, it’s one of the best series since 24! Please please CBS bring it back!
