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?
it was a great show… i am expecting more pliz
Bring it back
I just finished watching CBS’s new series “Scorpion” and IMHO it was awful. Premise is OK, but the execution was full of blatant faults and plot holes (to many to list here).
Intelligence was a much better show. Acting was better, story lines and back-story elements were excellent. Excellent writing overall. I fully expected it to be renewed and was shocked to find out it was cancelled. It should have been moved to a new time slot instead of outright cancelled.
Please bring it back! !!! Love it! !!! Bring back! !!!
Such BS!! They don’t even shows a fighting chance anymore
Wow, this show was absolutely awesome! Had me guessing right until the very end, very disappointed that it’s been cancelled, especially because it left on a very interesting cliffhanger that Leland Strand had been working with Mei Chen to kill Weatherly, or something of the sort. BAD MOVE CBS!
Wow I am so disappointed my entire family loved this show. We were so looking forward to Season 2! BAD MOVE CBS!
Very disappointed this show was cancelled. My husband an I really enjoyed watching it. I hope someone else picks it up!
That’s BS!! That show was great. They left you hanging after the season finale begging you to come back for more and now you CANCEL IT???? Not happy with CBS!!! BAD MOVE!!
Good show, it tough to find some good shows , maybe they needed a different time slot . Some people have to work early in the morning and can’t stayup to watch. Maybe they should think of that.
Josh Holloway is a great actor with a great sense of humor. Very few actors can help people suspend disbelief the way he can. “Lost” certainly needed someone like that. I liked the way he slowly built a relationship with his “guardian” in Intelligence. The special effects were great, and the writing was great. Holloway had a very good supporting cast as well. I think the show had a lot of potential as evidenced by the way the characters grew emotionally over the course of the short run. I hope another network picks it up.
Really disappointed Intelligence was cancelled
Ah man, I loved this show! Who can resist Josh Halloway. I was excited to see where they were going to take his character’s relationship with his sexy bodyguard. Marg didn’t do a bad job either. Should have given it a second chance in a different time slot. We need another network to pick this up. Very disappounted in CBS!
Put this show back on!!!!!!! It’s awesome!!!!!!!
Really frustrating that the people at CBS would cancel something that was loved! So many of us were looking forward to the next season! Canceling it…That’s about as bad as them blacking out itself from certain television providers ie direct TV, time warner cable and dish network! All about money CBS! This shows CBS just wants money and not what the viewers want!!!! Too bad ABC NBC or Fox can’t pick it up
