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?
Loved this show!!! But, should not have been opposite Blacklist! Should have moved to another night
I loved the show and have been looking for it. I am sorry to see that it has been cancelled. Very interesting concept and the actors were great.
I loved this show. The finale had a GREAT cliffhanger. I am sad to see this one go.
I wish they would not cancel shows so quickly. Intelligence was a wonderful show and will be missed. they seem to only keep stupid shows anymore
I loved this show. I think it was given enough time.
Please renew Intelligence. My family loved it.
I’m so sad by this disappointing news. It was one of my “must see’s” and i loved Josh Halloway and Marg Hellberger together. Maybe a different network will pick it up. It’s definately a good show that is unique from others.
IT WAS A FANTASTIC SHOW! One of the best shows i’ve ever seen! It should have continued!!!
I really liked this show, it was well written with great acting. I really don’t know who at the network decides these good shows should be cancelled. Whoever this person is that makes these decisions should be fired.
Great show! The should reconsider season 2.
It was a great show, well written and great talent. For sure the reason ratings were not higher was that is was scheduled poorly, not only opposite Blacklist, but also forced to run during the Olympics. Very disappointed it was cancelled. Definitely a mistake and should reconsider.
Intelligence was one of my favorite shows. I strongly believe the only reason it didn’t succeed was because it was scheduled opposite The Blacklist. It was well written, and well acted. I saw and enjoyed every episode and am extremely disappointed! Nothing would have been successful opposite The Blacklist.
Intelligence was a great show and should have been picked up for a season 2. Cbs really dropped the ball with this one being canceled. I would have rather watch intelligence than any new show they have planned on bringing on.
intelligence was horrorific i see one episode i feel disappointed is a waste in my beautiful life see this shiet look at the game of grand theft auto 5 and look at the man who has a tattoo that says cut here. which wrote this series is a ******* I think is not well cleaned ass does not own art
My husband and I LOVED the show and were so looking forward to a second season!! They need to rethink this one big time!!!!
