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?
Crazy for taking it off the air
i’am so sad
Its really disappointng tht most of the best TV show are being cancelled, Why can’t they just keep a good show running for at least more than 1 season. Intelligence i really enjoyed it but once again its been cancelled.
I think it should defiantly be renewed! So should the tomorrow people
I recently just watched this series if i knew about back then i would have definitely watched everytime it aired. It is sad that the series had to end. It had some great actors. I wish that the show could have continued i would have loved to seen what would have happened in the 2nd season. Another tv show that vanishes just like other ones. Its disappointing.
I think that the people responsible for cancelling such a GREAT show has to be COMPLETE IDIOTS and that is an understatement !!! With all the ROTTEN shows on TV they take off a FANTASTIC SHOW like INTELLIGENCE . Ironic isn’t it . Because the people responsible for taking it off the air are anything but INTELLIGENT !!!
SINCERELY ; Dee
This was a fantastic show., if it didn’t work on Monday night then maybe the network need to put it Tuesday where it did get more ratings. So the network have got it wrong twice… Bad planning and cancelling a really good and original show. Please bring it back!!!!
Some great concepts. Please bring show back.
pls can they bring it back on course am really in love with the show not just me .with all my family we do so pls let the show go on… THANKS
i,m really sad over that his movie cancelled an amazing tv show
I thought this was a brilliant series with some very exciting episodes and a great idea which could have been developed further in subsequent series. I know that ratings were not too good, but having invested so much in the first series, I do not see why they could not have run for at least one more. Bring it back for us.
Incredible, a TV company comes up with a refreshing idea like Intelligence. Makes it really relevant to today’s events. Really good plot lines and pacy action. Puts it on a Monday night (yawn). Wonders why viewing figures are low. Cancels after season one. Really fills one with confidence that T.V. Excec’s have the viewers thoughts in mind. I discovered this series quite late and watched the 13 episodes virtually back to back (sad, I know). Thank you TV Exec’s. Why can’t you grow a pair and have the commitment to continue a project you obviously had the confidence to commission… Read more »
Really miss this show. I think it would have gotten more viewers if it premiered in the summer months.
This was one of the few shows that my teen son would watch with me. He even asked about it today
I really loved the show. That is one of the few shows that my teenage sons would watch with me.
I’m still really disappointed about it being cancelled..it was such a good show
