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 thought it was really smart and very entertaining. Josh Holloway is an excellent actor and the best looking man on tv. I’m very sad to hear it was canceled.

I enjoyed the show quite well. It was a nice breath of fresh air in this day and age of stupid reality shows. Hate to see it cancelled.
Sorry to see intelligence canceled—it was an “intelligent” show.
Don’t make the mistake of cancelling this great show, first because is an excellent thriller, and second for respect to us the fans, give it a change people will know about the show and will come to it. You have to renewed for a second season as soon as possible ASAP.
It shouldnt have been cancled. It was so good. It was very suspenful.
My wife and I really enjoyed this show. Please renew for another season — great cast and story lines. Nothing else like it on TV.
It was a good show the chip made it special but how on earth was the show going to compete with the Blacklist on NBC at the same time slot. The show should be renewed and placed on a new day and time or another network should pick it up and air it on a Thursday which would be good for the show.
That was a cool show. It was far fetched but entertaining. What the hell CBS. Give another try on another night.
This is such a mistake.
Intelligence was a great show.
I agree! They shouldnt have canceled it! HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
Im still waiting for the second season!!!!
really enjoyed this show; terrible time slot on Monday night’s. wish they would renew it and move it to a better time slot
My husband and I were huge fans of Intelligence and Believe. We recorded each week’s episode just so that we could fast forward thru the commercials! 😉 So upset that BOTH shows got cancelled. Hope they get another channel to pick them up.
It ran the same time as Castle on ABC. Another time slot could have resulted in better ratings. I enjoyed the show, found the “chip” angle made this series more interesting than just “a cop” show. Sorry it will not be back.
I looked forward to Monday nights because of this show. I really wish CBS would reconsider or another network would pick up this show. Please reconsider and renew!
hello i saw all the 13 eps of intellegence and i realy like this please renewed for a second season
I loved this show it was amazing it deserve a second, third,… seasons .. and it is such a shock that CBS cancelled it!! they did not give it a time. It was my fav show for the year I think they have to renewed for a second season as soon as possible.
