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?
This is so ridiculous!! It never fails all the really promising shows get cancelled. This is the reason why I stopped watching TV.
I throughly enjoyed Intelligence and was looking forward to it having many more seasons it was one of the best tv series i’ve watched
come on, this is an awsome serie and I believe it needs a second season to attract more viewer. One of the best series I ever watched, will be missed here in Sweden.
IMO-Josh Holloway carried the entire show. The script worked, however, there was no chemistry with the rest of the cast and Josh. Josh Holloway and Megan (can’t think of her name right off) had zero chemistry. Some of the supporting cast was actually annoying.
Some of the best moments on “Lost” was the relationship between Sawyer and Kate. The chemistry was off the charts.
I would like to see him in upcoming series, but this one. . .not so much.
I Loved Hostages. Josh Holloway is Awesome in it. They should renew it for Season 2. I thought they were. I was shocked they cancelled it. A Great Fan of the show will miss it. Wish they would bring it back on for the Fall Season of 2014.
It was a promising series. The theme was very interesting and I think it deserved a second season, at least. I’m sorry it has been cancelled.
Intelligence needs to be renewed for season 2
I liked the show and I like Josh Holloway as an actor. They should have let it go for another season at least. Also it need to be taken in consideration, people DVR a lot of there shows because of other obligations or working…..This really sucked.
Wow really! Intelligence is or was a great show, reminded me of the 70’s 80’s type spy shows, mission Impossible,And so on , looked lot a hit to me, well made and written episodes…
downloaded entire season 01 and watched it over two days. I am amazed the series was cancelled because of lack of viewership. I considered it one of the best acted and written series I’ve seen in a while. I think it should have been given a chance maybe with some time slot and day shifting before cutting it loose. But hey, that’s the way it is with MBA minded folk…bottom line uber alles…
so it goes.
So so so so so so so very very very very upset that this show was canceled was a faithful watcher posted on FB about it every time I watched it and got 8 other of my friends to watch it … I do not understand how it says that ratings sucked I thought it was great I thought of it as a modern day MacGyver almost. I loved it!!! Loved the setting, theme, plot, actors and actresses. I can honestly say I will not watch another show from this network …. it seems as though every time I start… Read more »
