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?
OMFG! Judging by these comments, people rate movies by the scheduling and NOT by the quality, I don’t know how dumb people are, they shouldn’t blame the movie/series, they should blame the channel for doing what they do -_- However, about the series, I LOVED it, I loved seeing how Riley always protected Gabriel and had feelings for him (Same goes for Gabriel) and how she saved him from the bomb that was inside his wife and then helped him get over the feeling, truly an AMAZING series, too sad we didn’t see a relationship between them 2, but action-wise… Read more »
Also, another thing is, look, even in real life she looks at him in some kind of way that just screams “She has something for him!”, check it out http://www.cbs.com/shows/comic-con-2013/video/VD2oT3KXYPZnMtpsKsktJesqyPfEClpT/comic-con-2013-intelligence-highlights/
Please give us a season 2. It’s a great tv series, with well established plots and wonderful ideas… Everyone who hears of it comes to love it.
please make season 2 it`s a very good series.
The reason it didn’t take off was because it ran during Monday night football. That is a no brainer. Just like CSI Cyber. Having it on on a Sunday night is a mistake.
This season should be renewed because I’m on the 3rd episode and I’m thrilled why there is no other season. Do a season 2 production and give it more advertising, and give it a proper time slot instead of making it compete with shows people want to watch….. I assure you it will work because its breath taking and still fresh on the grid so people can catch up on the single season instead of tons of seasons!
The fact that people are still searching for information about Intelligence shows its a great series. I would love to see season 2.
Ikr! That’s what I think as well, all these people commenting, til THIS day, definitely means that “Intelligence” is something to them![😀](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f600.svg)
1 thing I can’t get is, there was 1 petition I saw, to make season 2, but sadly it was already closed, it only had like 36 people signed or so, but if I were to make a petition, I would make sure to get as many people to sign as possible.
pleasse we need season 2 to be continued please please
Great concept for a show…..Great actors……The downfall, bad directing. Some of the situations the character found themselves in could have been played out better than they were.
The first season was great … This idea with microchip in human’s brain is very popular, there’s so much people who will appreciate it. There’s nothing wrong with the show but the popularization, the show need someone who knows how to introduce the idea.
With one of the miserable excuses of shows getting new lives, an excellent show such as this should have been given a second year. Sometimes it’s scheduling and not quality. How about some deep thinkers of executives picking up on this one.
Can you guys plz bring back season 2…advertise with with new ideas 2 the show.maybe an upgrade on his chip and twist the Plot up…the show has a lot of potential u guys are giving up so easily when it a great show…disapointed!!!
THis is one of the greatest T.V series followed by walking dead.. There should be a season 2..
I just restarted watching episodes cause I happened to know this series and the ending plot of last episode of season1 was such a twist! eager to view the season 2, then find it cancelled, nice:(
The only reason it had low ratings is because it was in a terrible time slot.
please i definitely think season 2 should not be cancelled its one of the best i ever watch its really nice i love it. I wish i could do anything for it to be continued. i was searching for season 2 for a long time
