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 live in France and my family and I just discovered Intelligence and started to watch it. We thought “we finally found a good show! ” and then we saw it has been canceled … please do something :((((((
I don’t think they give the shows enough time to catch on. We do have to work. Maybe some of us record and watch later. Then the season ends, new shows come out, and you can’t remember when the second season is coming. Then all of a sudden you say, what happened to that show I was watching, waiting for the next season. This has happened to three shows I was interested in. This one and two with Michael Ealy. And yet Scorpion survives REALLY?
Nice show to watch, pity it has ended.
Mehn…… My Name is Spiff from Nigeria. I loved this TV series, Bring it back because i can’t wait to watch season 2 of Intelligence. i beg you….
Please renew the show. It was a great show to watch. Great acting, awesome graphics. I love the show. Please bring it back. Please..
Why cancel this show ? it was graet. At least give it a chance, it deserves this far more than others shows …
bringback and continue Intelligence
maybe they should have just kept it after NCIS then! this was a good show good acting, decent plot, maybe people go to bed before 10pm
it is one of the good shows where the human intelligence and humanity were trying to be explored. unfortunate that the S2 for it got cancelled. If there is a way to renew it , it would be best !!! i am looking forward to it
i loved the show and i think renewing it will be much better than for it to be cancelled please try an do something about it, thanks.
I loved the show and I know it has been cancelled but think of renewing it. I mean at least give it a chance. Not all shows start of good with the community but I think it has a chance. Please bring it back!!!!
Waiting for the next season. Its a great show. Why cancel it? Probably wrong time slot. Or wrong set of audience watching it. Or a lil more mix of love interests. Which it lacks a bit.
Please make more season of intelligence
Can just pick the wrong day and they didn’t promote the show enough to put on a Monday. It was dumb to cancel it it a great show and my kids watch the episode’s I’ve recorded I love the show I’ve seen all the 1st season I was waiting on season 2 when I realize it might have been cancel.
I just started watching this show and I love it. I realy hoped there would be a second season
