I live in the USA and I do not believe this show has ever been aired on any of our networks (I could be wrong) I found the Intelligence series at my local library. I was very thrilled with myself for picking such as great show, but was also very disappointed at the end and even more disappointed when I learned that season 3 does not exist. Who ever is responsible, listen this show makes great tv and I plead with you to continue to run this show for as long as it takes, without jepodizing its content.

The CBC website sells both seasons on INTELLIGENCE on DVD. Also Futureshop.ca

I want to comment on what “Frank” said. I couldn’t agree more about the series. Good Canadian dramas are produced few and far between but when they come along I often hear the word “hooked”. I felt the same way about Davincis Inquest and Intelligence and a few years before I was hooked on another great CBC drama called “North of 60″ which actually lasted about 10 years on tv. Perhaps if enough people complain in email to CBC like I have recently done they will bring back “Intelligence”!!

I watched Intelligence on the Hallmark Channel here in Melbourne(Foxtel)The article announcing the showing of Intel. was very enticing and once I viewed the first episode I was hooked, I worked in law enforcement in the Bronx NY and this was really well written and the acting was incredible, the tempo moves so quickly it’s over before one realizes it. If the CBC can’t do anything with this series and say it is a failure, then go look for investors in either the States or the UK, you have a Winner!

I was an avid watcher of Davincis Inquest and Intelligence. Bring back one or both of these shows! Someone needs to sign a petition. Has anyone noticed that right now there is mostly comedy on CBC and a distinct lack of a good dramatic series which both of these shows provided Canada for several years.

The moment I saw the pilot I knew instanly that it was going to be a great series. Intelligence didn’t disappoint. The only thing I can’t figure out is why CBC didn’t renew a 3rd season. I put Intelligence up in the same catagory as “The Sopranos”. Nothing else on TV even comes close to Intelligence. It is so realistic, and sometimes is a little too close to real life events. Many of the story lines about how their operation was running pretty much parallel how the underworld operates.
Well, now that NBC has a 10 pm time slot to fill every night, perhaps we will see intelligence head south.

I agree. I recently received season one box set for xmas and the wife and I can’t stop watching it. This is an incredible show. Being in law enforcement it is so close to real life. Well done

I am an American and have been watching Intelligence on DVD. My husband and I are hooked on this show – very sophisticated
fast paced, great acting. We are not familiar with the Canadian actors, but they are all wonderful. I just signed on to this website and am bitterly disappointed that this show was not renewed for the third year. I believe more and more that we are all being “dumbed down” in everything – TV especially. I don’t know about Canada, but American TV is awful! Any suggestions for bringing back the show?
Thanks

I would suggest emailing: info@killarneycup.ca to confirm.

ya love to see taco bell to come here.ive said for years that TB should come to fton but when arbys came then left i got thinking would TB last cause arbys didnt love to see arbys come back.
ya as for ikea i doubt theyll ever bring something like that to fton but u never know.
but i thought corbett centre was suppose to be a development to bring new stores that we dont or never had before but all ive seen was them bring stores that we already have although dollarama im not complaining bout but why did easyhome move from prospect st? oh well think that might be the only one that moved lol…..
but ya be nice to see tims finally come cause i thought it was suppose to come the following year after it left regent mall.but theyve had so much trouble since starting with this development.like if the UNB dont want this then why did they ever build home depot? like if they are going to continue then why dont they get on with it & bring these stores that they promised this city instead of delaying it.like where costco is suppose to be going was all cleared out then it grew back.
just tired of them saying theyre going to bring stores but they wait for years. like they want to attract new stores but seems like they just let so much time go by & then saint john or moncton ends up getting them.im still hestitate whether costco will come or not for years theyve said fton IS getting one but till i see them build it then i wont believe it. look how long it took for this capital to get future shop? like pei got one before we did.& saint john. but oh well guess all we can do is wait like we’ve been doing whats another few years to wait till they get corbett builted up…..

Glad to see all these fans up here talking about this show. I picked up on Intelligence in the middle of S1’s original airing and watched S2 each week as new episodes came out. I have since downloaded the whole series and sought it out and ordered both seasons on DVD from Acorn media. I have seen Ian Tracey and others from the show on the street and when I mention S3 they all sheepishly say ‘I don’t know when or if’. Once CBC started rolling out all the shows that are returning this year (The Border, The Tudors, Being Erica etc) it angers me to no end they are not all under the best show ever made by CBC for CBC, Intelligence. I think everyone should write to the CBC’s program director and share their opinions, Former Alliance Atlantis executive Kirstine Layfield I believe still holds the job – however shouldn’t.

Having pre-empted no fewer than 3 episodes of Season One of Intelligence over the summer re-showing of it (2009), it appears that CBC is not going to re-show Season Two, as I see no sign of it in the schedule for the week ahead. Too bad. I was getting so much more out of watching the second time. It has been a political education for me, learning how American infiltration of our institutions threatens our Canadian sovereignty. Strange how they send their spies up here, but we don’t send any down there. Think about it. People are telling me that at an Eastern Canadian Military Academy, Americans are trying to recruit future spies for the USA.

Good point Vero, I forgot that Best Buy owned Future Shop. I guess the competition won’t be that great. Maybe the Costco will provide the competition then.

Kent, I’d love to see Ikea come in. Going to Montreal or Boston for Ikea just doesn’t cut it.

I for one will be ecstatic if/when the Costco finally goes in. I know some folks are adamantly against it, but as a father of 4, you simply can’t beat some of the pricing for groceries and such.

I’d love to see an Ikea here (or even in Moncton), but I doubt it will ever happen.

Found an episode of DaVinci and got hooked, which led to discovering Intelligence and got hooked again. These are sophisticated shows professionally executed. Canada really brings quality to their shows and I wish it would continue. With a small bit of effort on CBC’s part in promoting the projects, these series could not only continue, but bring in money from refreshing past series. Highlander the series ran the same episodes for years in the states. Average middle American citizens do crave Canadian series and it makes me wonder why no one understands this. (I have to say average middle, because if you ever traveled to San Francisco or mid-town New York, you might question what makes up an average Amer.)

Episode 10 of Intelligence did not show on Saturday night, September 5th at 10 p.m., CBC Television, its usuual time slot. The schedule said CBC News would be on instead, but that didn’t happen either. This is the third time that an episode of Season one has be pre-empted since it has been re-showing over this summer, 2009. CBC has a very strange attitude towards this series. It has won many awards, yet on the CBC program The Hour, which has throngs of American guests on it, this was never mentioned, whereas the awards won by Little Mosque on the Prairie were touted. There was no third season of it, although many people wanted that,even internationally. Methinks that the trenchant scrutiny of how American power is infiltrating into Canadian Democracy and Sovereignty that gets leaked in Intelligence is being muzzled.

I can’t seem to find an official highway road map online. The best I can find onlin is at: http://www.gnb.ca/0113/maps/maps-e.asp

I would perhaps try the tourism New Brunswick at 1-800-561-0123.

I’d also recommend looking at Service New Brunswick at: https://www.pxw1.snb.ca/SNB9000/product.aspx?ProductID=A001PSNBCatAtlas&l=e The NB Atlas in particular is a great resource if you are planning on doing a lot of driving in New Brunswick.

Good to see that CBC is showing some ads for the re-showing of the TV Series Intelligence. They are showing writer Chris Haddock’s series DaVinci’s City Hall back to back with it on Saturday nights. Episode 7 of Season One of Intelligence is showing tonight, August 15th, 2009. I am getting so, so much more out of it the second time around. This is deep probing of our society from the gritty mean streets right on up to the most secret worlds of inercontinental espionage, high finance, and political no-no-nos. That is where the real strip-tease takes place.

No there are no speed cameras in Fredericton or New Brunswick. The only cameras currently deployed are for traffic and weather monitoring only.

There are still speed traps but no automated cameras giving you tickets.
One site to consider is Trapster (http://trapster.com/rl/Trapster.php) which can show you user submitted speed traps.

CBC Television Channel is showing Season 1 of Intelligence again, over the summer. It has been very poorly promoted, if at all. Episode 5 will be on August 8, 2009, in B. C.

Don’t cancel Intelligence!!! It is one of the BEST shows on TV. The acting is superb, the story line is facinating. I am a faithful viewer. Keep this show going. It is on par with Sopranos.

Someone needs to get their head out of their rear end and rethink the decision to cancel “Intelligence”. It is brilliant and the best thing since “Sopranos”. How very disappointing that we can not look forward to the continuation of this series. Hello… Is anybody at CBC listening?!

Well now their advertising the old episodes of Intelligence
like there’s no tomorrow.

What’s up with that?
They didn’t care before; now they care?

Are they just filling up empty air time?
Or will there be a 3rd season after all?

I phoned the CBC but they never heard of their own show.
Bunch of CBC twits.

Intelligence was my favourite show.

I just loved how that Ian Tracy sneeked around and his get things done and for his business skills.

I think the government types hated that show because the Canadian government is so much anti-small business even for honest-legal small business.
The Canadian government is the opposite of Ian Tracy.
They can’t stand someone who gets things done.
The government only wants to find more rules.
There are 2 kinds of people: the go getters like Ian Tracy and the rule makers who want to create more rules to stop successful people.

That is why they cut out Intelligence.
The government doesn’t want regular people to succeed even in legal businesses.

The government is made up of jealous – miserable types who’se purpose in life is to try to stop people from thinking, problem solving, and succeeding to be independent and happy. No the government doesn’t want this. That is why they invent more rules and laws and that they cancelled the show Intelligence.

And they just can’t stand a good show and people liking it.
They want us to watch mind numbing crap like Just for laughs and 22 minutes. God forbid to show us something where a business man succeeds and out plays the government.

I’m not condoning selling drugs, but the same go get the job done that Ian Tracy displayed could be used in legal activities of our lives but the government doesn’t want us to see a positive role model.

No stay home, and watch Just for laughs crap and 22 minutes and hockey. Don’t think. That’s what the government wants from us: to be tax paying brain dead automates.
Like cows. The government wants us to be like cows.
Just give them the milk (our taxes).

Well I got that off my chest.

Brian Tracy: you are my favourite actor-role model ever.
