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?
Just watched the last episode, great show! Would love to see a second series.
Gutted, really enjoyed this!
One of the few shows on television that showed the promise that NCIS did and CSI, they turned out to be great block busting series. I do not know why this has been cancelled, presume the tv magnates had a bad day or maybe success is only measured by American ideals of make money fast or give up, this is the country that has some of the worst trade deficits in world and a economy that could collapse any moment. They put together an imagaginitive story line with potential to tell real stories and add a simply great caste to… Read more »
Really enjoyed the show, balanced futuristic technology with action drama but light enough to relax whilst watching. More TV Like this please.
I love the show and Gabriel and Riley are a wonderful match. BRING IT BACK PLEASE
I’m gutted that this series was cancelled. There is so much more to explore and I love the characters, especially Gabrielle and Riley! Bring it back
SOOOOOO disappointed — truly enjoyed the series & looked forward to Season 2! Please put it back on – try a different night – don’t run it opposite “The Voice” or “America’s Got Talent” but please bring it back!!
Why why cancel intelligence !!! Fantastic first series ! Loved in uk !! Please please bring it back !!!!!
What a shame there is no season 2. Thought it was a great show, and was hoping there would be more. Disappointed!
Devastated … Really enjoyed this .. It had so much going for it.
It is brilliant show, gutted there will be no more 🙁 think there should be another session!!
Loved it and the idea of a chip in your brain, excellent cast, YES THERE SHOULD BE A SEASON 2, JUST BECAUSE THE AMERICAN VIEWING WAS LOW DOSN’T MEAN THE REST OF US HAVE TO SUFFER !!!!!!!
Yes, it kind of does. If not enough people are watching the show, big advertisers won’t be interested. If big advertisers aren’t interested, stations won’t make enough money to purchase/rent the show …
I find it hard to understand why people don’t seem to comprehend this. Stations are not going to air a show at a loss of money just because you like it.
So disappointed. My son and I really enjoyed watching this and were looking forward to another season. Thought it was really good.
Absolutely brilliant – I am so disappointed it has been cancelled – why not a second series – give it a chance.
What a shame. Brilliant. Bring it back.
