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?
A very good show with a novel twist .
really disappointed to see it go . Come on think again.

Are you serious? Absolutely loving this show, the only show I look forward to these days, and alot of my friends love it too. I’m so dissappointed.
loved this show, disappointed that they caned it
Really good show, last 2 episodes made out there was a lot more to come in tv way of his abilities. Very disappointed they axed it.
CBS does it again, Watching the show here in Ireland, very good show bring it back.
It will no doubt be replaced with another so called reality real housewives load of rubbish.
Really enjoyed this Season!
The series has a lot of potential with a little creative writing could have been brilliant. Shame.
Thanks to whoever decided to stop the series, brilliant actors, interesting stories and something different. Shame.
thought it was brill dont get why they ditched it they did the same with deadwood dissappionted
Really disappointed
Just as we were getting into it we find out its cancelled come on!!
I really enjoyed this show. I went onto Sky Nevermiss to find that there was no link.
I loved the stories each week and felt that they were all good actors.
I do get fed up of American shows getting cancelled.
Making a big mistake with no 2nd series. It had very little publicity in the UK , but the series writing and plots got better each week. The final 2 episodes had a brilliant plot with twist a turns leaving you wanting more…..
13 episodes is not a good majority to analyze a show. If that’s the protocol, well look back. If shows were analyzed back in the early 7 ‘ the way they are today … MASH may have been cancelled. 13 shows….. C ‘ Mon
Really disappointed to hear this has been cancelled. The American networks are a nightmare for cancelling shows without giving them a real chance – come on make a second series – we are loving it in the UK!!
Please please bring this series back I really enjoyed it can’t see why it was cancelled
I started watching this show after years of watching Castle on ABC. Hopefully it will be on DVD and I can watch it over and over again. Sad to see that it’s been cancelled…..
