"Pilot" - Gabriel and Riley must rescue the kidnapped member of CyberCom who invented the chip implanted in Gabriel's brain before the top-secret technology falls into the wrong hands. Meanwhile, Gabriel takes advantage of his chip to search for his wife who disappeared years ago, on the special series premiere of INTELLIGENCE, Tuesday, Jan. 7 (9:00-10:01 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. It will move to its regular Monday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) time period on Jan. 13.

INTELLIGENCE is an action thriller starring Josh Holloway as a high-tech intelligence operative enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain. With this implant, Gabriel is the first human ever to be connected directly into the global information grid and have complete access to Internet, WiFi, telephone and satellite data. He can hack into any data center and access key intel in the fight to protect the United States from its enemies. Leading the elite government cyber-security agency created to support him is Director Lillian Strand, a straightforward and efficient boss who oversees the unit's missions. Strand assigns Riley Neal, a Secret Service agent, to protect Gabriel from outside threats, as well as from his appetite for reckless, unpredictable behavior and disregard for protocol. Also on the team is Chris Jameson, a resourceful federal investigator. The brains behind the design of the chip is Dr. Shenendoah Cassidy, whose son, Nelson, is jealous of Gabriel's prominent place in his father's life. As the first supercomputer with a beating heart, Gabriel is the most valuable piece of technology the country has ever created and is the U.S.'s secret weapon.

Searched for Intelligence and nothing showed up, so I'm going ahead and starting this thread. This premieres tonight after NCIS. It moves to Mondays at 10pm starting next week.

I'm very interested in this. Holloway as sort of an edgier "Chuck" type character should be fun. Just want to make sure you are all clear, this is an action procedural and not a serial drama.

[CIBartowski]

Loved Chuck so definitely going to give this a try.

[R3P0]

Ill also be DVR this just to see what its about

[Elandyll]

John and Finch in one person? Sold!

Sarcasm appart, it looks interesting, so will definitely give it a chance, even if it looks hugely inspired by the success of PoI I think.

Unlikely. 2 different studios produce them. Intelligence is produced by ABC studios while Person of Interest is made by Warner Brothers.

The show should get some eyes on it tonight with NCIS as the lead in.

Have any of the show runners, producers, or writers been involved with Lost? If not then I might give this a shot.

[Batman1980]

Only caught the end of the second episode but so far I enjoy this show so far, hopefully I remember to tune in next week and catch the third one.

In it's regular time slot debut Intelligence was a massive flop, drawing a 1.1 rating. It was by far the lowest-rated non-CW show of the night. With ratings like that it might not make it to the end of the month.

OUCH, really...what did CBS expect, putting a new show like this against a giant like the Blacklist and Castle...stupid decision on CBS part.

Exactly, this show could have OWNED another timeslot/day, I will never understand how these networks operate. It is a good show, I hope they do us the favor of moving days soon before it is too late.

[Tony208]

seriously... what is this show doing in the timeslot

everyone knew it was going to drop but a drop this big is like going to get it canceled before the next episode
