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 GIVES ME GAS!!! I also stumbled onto this show and was so much into it I watched the entire season in one day. I was really looking forward to more, but now I just have gas!
It is a nice show. I was so disappointed when i heard that the season two is cancelled. It should be brought back.
I loved the show they should have never cancelled it, all the actors were great followed in other shows they did. They need to bring it back. (-:
I stumbled across this show and I loved it so much. It really is a great series. Hope they bring it back.
Is a great show! They should have given it another chance
I loved the show. It was a great new hit. Never should have been cancelled. I’m majorly disappointed. I just bought the first season after watching it on the air. That’s how much I liked. Bring it back!

You network is the 1 who fucked up I remember starting the series on a Tuesday and then next Tuesday it was on instead it was on, on Mondays which in my opinion fucked allot of people over and was the main reason I stopped watching cause I missed the second episode and a huge part of the story was lost to me so I stopped but I honestly think if you resart the series like show it from episode 1-13 on the same day at the same time instead of changing it you would have more viewers Cuz the… Read more »
Dude, I could not agree more! This is why a lot shows go down in flames!
it’s not fair I loved it so much. I was waiting eagerly for season 2.series are way complicated, big budgets low ratings
Bring it back. It is absolutely ridiculous to cancel because it did poorly in its time slot. Don’t compete with another networks #1 that has already been established with a new show… Put it on at a different time and watch it’s viewers grow. Do ratings count all the DVR people? I often record multiple channels at same time due to scheduling conflicts and work schedules, I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Wtf? What is wrong with these guys? Every time I find a series that I like I have to find out it got cancelled. Seriously why are they even try to make new shows if they cancell it after 13 episodes?
Bring it back! Why the best series always get canceled in interesting moments?
agree!!!
there is only one reason Intelligence failed; it shared a timeslot with Castle. it was a great show but the competition was just too well entrenched.
Maybe Castle. But more than likely the reason it was up against MNF. I’m curious to see how the hit shown NCIS LA is doing in the same!e time slot??
That’s what this petition says :

I really enjoyed watching this when it came out during summer in the UK. I am very upset to learn that it has been cancelled and that no second season is going to be released. Obviously the people who like NCIS also liked this program as they continued to watch it in its original time slot in the US so why move it in the first place to a spot that obviously conflicts with other shows of this ilk. Bring it back please, it was the most original idea for a show in years.
I also watched it after it aired meaning it wasn’t counted . It annoys me that watching in the UK means that you don’t get a say on the shows ‘popularity’. http://goo.gl/mgehS6
