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 would encourage everyone here to provide feedback to CBS via this link as I have

not sure if it will make a difference but at least we can see if we can bring this awesome show back!
Do any of the comments get back to CBS
So sorry Intelligence is not coming back! It was smart with a great cast. That seems to be the kiss of death for an audience addicted to reality show mind drain sludge. Soon there will be nothing but Honey Booboo, age 10 geared trash, left on TV. Very sad indication of the state of the US intelligence. Come on people dumb is as dumb watches.
WHAT?!!!!!!!!! why would they cancel this show!!!! Its do amazing and I like to see the characters grow in their relationships with with other characters especially Gabriel and Riley!!!!!!!!! Whoever decided to cancel this show is crazy ( no offense to that person or anything). But still. I love this show and everybody wants season 2 and more seasons after that! Even if there not as good as the first season I will keep watching it!!!! Intelligence is my favorite show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOO…. My husband and I loved this show was looking forward to season 2….so disappointed…please bring it back 🙁
Really enjoyed the show was so looking forward to more of it always had it on my DVR come on guys come back.
Yes, i think it should’ve been renewed for a second season and I think they were wrong for cancelling the show. They should’ve given it another chance. It’s amazing. I advocate that this show should continue and that they should keep at it, because it’s too great of a show to cancel.
The show was one hour of humor and drama just enough to think a little and escape into a world of fun. Work fourteen hours escape for and hour it’s a shame you don’t give it a chance for not everyone likes reality tv.
Currently watching intelligence on Sky+ , cannot believe its been cancelled. Hope enough people on here speak the show up it might get the green light again.
Is there anywhere we can sign a petition to bring it back. Just started watching our taped episodes and really enjoy this series. Total change from typical techy show. Love it. Special effects are terrific, concept is brilliant, actors are fabulous. Really hoping a different network picks it up after seeing how much people love it.
Here’s a petition we can sign:

Totally gutted there is no season 2 I can’t understand why it’s a brilliant series. It goes to show that a lot of people like all the rubbish and reality shows on TV what a shame
Shouldn’t have been cut. I am not sure how people that record things are figured into this. That may have been the issue. I know I RARELY watch the shows when they are on. 1) I have toddler aged children so prime-time TV falls into dinner/bed-time. 2) I hate commercials. I choose to record the shows and watch them later. If that doesn’t count into the “numbers”, it should. I loved this show.
That was a great show and like NCIS and NCIS LA it showed a shipper of rillel and if they canceled Intelligence then they should just cancel every other show because Intelligence taught lessons to people as well as it being interesting. The people who canceled the show are idiots.
I was so looking for season 2.i love this show, it’s great.
