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?
Disgusted to find out this is cancelled too 🙁 Vegas, Star-crossed, Intelligence. Really loved these shows.
Please, please bring the series back for another season!! Loved it and I’m a 75 year old English lady who has missed seeing Josh on screen since watching the full series of Lost. We’ve lost so many of the good American series such as a The Agency, Covert Affairs, The Glades, Rizzoli & Isles, now little of interest to watch, as I don’t like SciFi.
I live in hope!!!!!
Loved the 1st series. So annoying when we get to watch a great new innovative series just to have it cancelled because the us ratings aren’t that good!!. Definitely should have continued me & my 10 year old daughter loved watching this together.
We ae very upset that it has not been continued loved the show and very disappointed
I know it got off to a sticky start, but after episode 2 it picked up, and we seen a bit of the Josh Holloway humour, we all know and love! I really liked it and my friends did too!
Let’s see more of the Gorgeous Mr Holloway (prefer him with long hair and a beard though),
hope his next venture is more successful!
Us in the UK miss him and lost, so bring him back as Brett Maverick or Magnum, he would be perfect for those roles!
The management of these TV companies are experts at manipulating series with schedules that eventually make the fail especially Science Fiction Series. T.V companies should stop purchasing T.V series cancelled in their first run.
Give it a chance!
Loved the show. Very fresh and innovative.
why is it that you TV companies cannot give a show a chance to shine…just cos ratings are slightly slow to begin with..it may have picked up with another season. We in the UK liked it a lot!!!
Really disappointed that Intelligence has been cancelled as it was an innovative, fast moving, intelligent, excellent series & it will be sorely missed
I wish they would stop showing these shows in the UK when they know they have been cancelled then I wouldn’t get into all these shows just to be disappointed that there is no more can they maybe just keep making them for the global market
I think there should be a second series as the plot still had not reached a conclusion. There was still a storyline ,which needed to be explored and developed to a conclusion. The characters were totally believable with a good plot ,which was different and was very enjoyable. Give it another chance.
Unfortunately, though the network at CBS says that viewership was too low to sustain the series for a second season… I beg to differ! This innovative, well acted and produced series was not given enough time to find the audience all these posts show is out there. It is just like Jake 2.0 – A similarly innovative, well acted and produced series that was cancelled after only one season for selfish, and some would say racially based reasons. I really hate to bring this into the conversation, here, but look at how this show was cast. Enough about that- I… Read more »
Really enjoyed the 1st series and gutted to hear that CBS have cancelled the 2nd series. Josh Holloway is very easy on the eye and a great actor to go with it!! The chemistry between Gabriel and Riley was believable and not too over the top which can happen with American shows. The way series 1 ended, it would of led onto a great 2nd outing and I’m sure the storyline would of provided an exciting follow up. It’s a shame that the American audience hasn’t embraced the show.
Such a shame my boyfriend and I really liked this series 🙂
Great show. Had many levels to it.
