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 an awesome series. I really like it. Please go on and produce more and more seasons.
why??
OUTSTANDING SHOW!!! It should not have been cancelled
Awesome show, please bring it back. Lots of potential for story lines, cross overs with NCIS, endlesss.
I think it sounld come back. it was the☺️ best show every and intelligence isn’t bad it is a good show. I would be pleased
I think this was a great series! It would have done better had it not showed so late on a Monday, c’mon, a Monday!?? Let the show go on!! Put it on a different day and the results will be better.
I’d really like to know if anyone from CBS even reads these comments. If they do, do they care about what their viewers even think or want? For years, I’ve thought that CBS doesn’t care at all. They tried the same thing with H50, moving the show to different time slots. In fact, it’s one of my favorite shows, but it’s starting to look more and more like Lost. If that’s what they are going for, then let’s add Josh into the mix too. Then the gang will be together again like old times 😉
I really can’t believe that show got cancelled. one of the best shows on t.v. it was different and interesting, not like those c.s.i. series that are mostly the same. I’m really dissappointed.
So now another CSI show starts up. CSI CYBER. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just a bad copy of Intelligence. I bet the new CSI will stay on the air whether or not anyone watches it. I for sure will not be wasting my time with ANOTHER CSI show. Now, put Intelligence back on, and I’ll be waiting every week to see an awesome show that was never given a chance. I definitely won’t be watching a bad copy of Intelligence. Who can even keep up with the new shows that start up every month or so. Who has… Read more »
It is such a disrespect for your viewers that follow a new show for the whole season and then cancel it without wrapping up the storyline and leaving it on a cliffhanger. How will we ever trust you again? Who wants to develop a season relationship with a network that does not honor their viewers. Our time counts too!
This was a great show that could have found a bigger audience if you treated your viewers with a little more courtesy. Moving around timeslots midseason makes no sense. Shame!
i totally agree with you!!! as when i am about so into the story and character, the show was cancelled,!!!! now i will never know if riley and gabriel will be together!! urrrgggh
Great show with great actors. I am so disappointed that series 2 has been canceled.
Why, please tell me why you people dont give a tv series a chance. I can think of several that shouldnt be on, seriously put it back on
Please bring us more seasons. its fresh and new. when Star Trek started it also didn1t catch on at 1st but now… Bring us more
NEVER should have been cancelled. They should cancel some of the NCIS and LAW AND ORDER shows….ENOUGH of them already….”THEY” had their share….let some “new” actors have a chance. Josh is a pretty boy and the girl is gorgeous to look at. Bad move for CBS. Then again, I’m sick and tired of all these new shows coming in the play. Give the existing shows a chance for god sakes! TGIF!!!
I agree with Peter. There have been many Law and Order shows. The only one, imho, that is worth my time is SVU. I’ve been watching that show for years because it resonates with not only my life, but also my childrens’ lives. I watch it partly because of that, and partly because of the great actors who make the show. It’s put together very well. On the one hand, I’d like a happy ending for every show. However, I admire the fact that the writers don’t always wrap the show up with a red bow and happy, winning end.… Read more »
I gtotally agree with your assessment. The show was original and really peeked my interest. As always, the good shows are canceled. It was great how they interwoven reality and the technical. I can imagine the story lines if they would have given the show a chance. As always the cancel the show. Ncis would not make it if it was a new show coming out with it’s first season at this time. Networks demand instant gratification these days.
It is a great Tv show and should go on (one of the best i have seen)
Have a 2nd season, it was a great show….
Awesome show, great interaction between characters and believable. I can’t believe that it was cancelled after only one season, seriously! Must suck to be money hungry vultures that only watch ratings…
