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’m sorry to see it cancelled 🙁 Josh Holloway was my favourite cast member of Lost and I really enjoyed his new show.
It seems a shame that this great show was cancelled and so much other low intelligence stupidity is kept on the air.
THUMBS DOWN CBS!!
This definitely deserved another season. I too have been watching for it to come on. I loved this show. Interesting plot and great cast.
i keep turning on the tv on mondays to watch this and think “What? not on? Maybe next week season II will start…” Totally bummed its not on. With 2 kids this was the only adult show I watched :o( The 2 characters had a great chemistry too…I don’t care what night it’s on – just bring it back!!
I thought the show was great.The cast was also very well chosen. I’m disappointed it was cancelled. I think the change in program scheduling is the reason the shows rating numbers declined.
I have been waiting for the show to air this season and decided to Google it. Very disappointed to see it was cancelled. Gabrielle and his handler were a real good fit. The problem was Marg H. She was not a good fit.
You should have given the show a chance with Season 2.
Loved the show! Had a slow start, but ended on a high. Could not wait to see it come back. Very disappointed it wasn’t given more of a chance!
It was a good show even though the only real intelligence (as in thinking) was in the show title. It is another action show where the stars blunder through each episode only by luck or help from someone with intelligence.
Oh god… Please go on for the next season, this drama deserved to get the next season, it’s better than much much other dramas series, it bring out a cool feeling and fresh on TV drama, feeling disappointed when heard this drama only go for 1 season… A lot of Asia fans like me love this drama too
I am very picky about what I watch, by my standards “Intelligence” is far better then “How I Met Your Mother” yet most people wouldn’t agree but I tell you if you keep this show going its rating will shoot up higher. You’re just not trusting the people you make the show for. Give this show a chance please.
Ps. The season 1 I must say even though it’s pretty predictable it’s still interesting to watch what happens in between. Perfect show who ever wrote it I loved it.
It was a good first season and keep it going please
Cancelling this show is just a terrible mistake. I am really disappointed because it hasn’t been given a real chance. This show honestly had a better first season than “the mentalist”. It deserved a second season at least.
No way should this show have been canceled. It tanked on Monday nights, So put it back in it’s original time slot on Tuesday.
I absolutely loved the show!! It immediately made my favorite shows list. I’m a regular reality show junkie and don’t find too many regular TV shows that interest me however this one did instantly. I’m super bummed that it was canceled. How can we bring it back?
It’s a pity that *Intelligence* season 2 is deleted
This serie is very interesting…the topic…the special effects…the actors …all make it much more attractive than most other series
Do you plan to issue another serie similar to this one ?
I’m very disappointed…
Best regards
I think that they should continue the show its amazing ya I think they didn’t give it a chance it’s really good PLZ continue
