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?
There have been really bad shows that have been shifted from one time slot to another in an effort to keep it running. So why is a good show like Intelligence not given a fair chance? This decision is a very poor one.
I’m not sure anymore how they track how many viewers a show gets, however it’s obvious that they’re not getting the right numbers. I highly doubt that they are taking into consideration all the viewers that are watching the show after the initial air date. We all have different lifestyles so DVR or on Demand is one of the best things that the cable/dish providers came up with. I think if they took a step back and looked at all those options, they would see that there were a lot more viewers than they initially thought. Case in point, I… Read more »
oh please continue this series. it’s really great. please please please please !
You gotta be KIDDING me! another GREAT show cancelled without allowing it to TRY! Season one was GREAT and was wondering when Season two was going to start! CBS: you are IDIOTS to not continue this! GREAT actors, GREAT episodes!
It was an awesome show.

Thanks!
Was so waiting for a season 2! Definitely was one of the better shows that came out last year!
Season 2 would be worth waiting for. As it was better than 90 % of the stuff they show on CBS. 1 season is never enough to show how good a prog is. I f they did that to t X programme, then the US would never have super sonic aircraft.(could have saved billions) I think CBS stands for….. COULDN`T BE STUPIDER.
I think Y’all need to give the show another chance and renew
it for season 2 You network people give too easy and think
negative need to think more positive.

Was hoping Intellegence was going to runin new year, but guess not.
Was sorry, as we really enjoyed it at our home. Action was fun as were locations. Characters were interesting and actors believable. Our favourite part was the strong and intellect female characters. Too bad, it even drew us away from Castle at 10 on Mondays. Maybe it should not have tried to run at same time as many viewers were likely the same.

I enjoyed the show. I liked the plots. I was waiting for season 2 to start in January. I wish they would bring it back. I was sad. It was much more exciting than some of these new show s that look downright stuiped.
I enjoyed the series. The plot was interesting and thought provoking. There are several shows on TV that are devoid of substance and do not provide a good combination of adventure and warmth. I watched the show each week and taped episodes when I was out of town. My wife and I were both surprised when we heard of the cancellation.
I went looking for this too. I enjoyed it too. Pretty disappointed to find out it was canned.
Guys, I watched this in a single day. Please bring it back Idiots. Im very curious to watch the second season.
Sam, I don’t think they can bring it back now, they’ve expended the key plots in the series already so it may be too hard to continue on. They shouldn’t have killed off Gabriel’s wife so early and then they killed off the lead scientist. I loved the show and wish they could bring it back but I definitely think they screwed up playing all their cards for different plots already.
I loved this show and watched every episode. I was looking forward to additional seasons and was very bummed out when I found out it was cancelled. I do think they got into several scenarios such as there being a saboteur within the ranks way to early and they definitely could have put off showing any type of romantic interest between the characters until later seasons if at all. My opinion is that they should have introduced new members of the team by working them into the show in a way where they were the person of interest but with… Read more »
DUDE I watched this almost every day! I waited for season 2 until 2015! But them I got suspicious so then I looked into the subject and guess what? RAGE I want season 2 So bad!
