'Intelligence' New TV Show: CBS Television Series Starring Josh Holloway Met With Disappointing Numbers? [VIDEO]
New TV drama Intelligence made a decent start in its opening episode, but ratings boosted down in its second episode.
The series premiere on Jan. 7 garnered 16.5 million viewers and became the most watched debut of the season, according to E! News.
However, the Jan. 13 episode went down over half of that number to 6.1 million viewers. The drop also caused the CBS show to go from a 2.4 rating to a 1.1 in the adults 18-49 demographic.
The disappointing numbers were linked to NCIS. The pilot episode of Intelligence aired right after NCIS on Tuesday before it moved to its regular Monday timeslot. The pilot episode also aired at 9 p.m. ET, though its regular time is now set for 10 p.m.
