CBS has had mixed success with their new crime dramas this season. NCIS: New Orleans has been renewed for a second season while Stalker has been dropped from the schedule and may likely be cancelled. What will happen to Battle Creek? Stay tuned.
Battle Creek revolves around two mismatched law enforcement officers — Detective Russ Agnew (Dean Winters) and FBI Special Agent Milton Chamberlain (Josh Duhamel) — who have polar opposite views of the world and end up being partners. The rest of the cast includes Janet McTeer, Kal Penn, Aubrey Dollar, and Edward Fordham Jr.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: CBS has cancelled the Battle Creek series midway through its first season.
Final season averages: 0.75 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.12 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Battle Creek TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love it!! Don’t cancel! !
Love show.
We love Battle Creek, don’t cancel it!
Really clever fast paced and endearing show. Cast has such chemistry.
Please don’t cancel. Such a shame when we are overloaded with programs aimed at the mindless.
I loved every episode of this show. It was realistic and well acted with a great cast. Dean Winters was amazing and so believable as his character. Networks and people in general need to learn to give things a chance before they axe them. It wasn’t shiny enough or sexy enough for all the shallow audiences??? I like more believable shows with good plots, not over the top scandalous trash!
Last night’s Finale was probably the best show I have seen on TV in. Very long time. With all the positive feedback from dedicated fans, it is improbable that CBS would cancel this Mystery/Drama/Humor/Romance series. Yes, to the comment from a fan……..enough CIS, NCI……..we love BATTLE CREEK!!!
I love Battle Creek and Stalker for that matter! Why do these stupid stations get us interested in really great programs and then pull the rug out from under us?!! I’m really aggravated with them. I no longer trust CBS, and maybe they should be what is dropped!
Battle Creek offers a quirky bromance between veteran actors. Pity the network wants to axe it because the cast has finally gel’ed. I thought the last couple of episodes where Dean Winter’s character shows his vulnerabilities over Holly was well acted and scripted. Hoping the networks take these and other comments to heart and renew this show. Thanks Battle Creek Team!
Battle Creek is a great show and I very much looked forward to viewing it on Sunday night. Very upset that it was cancelled. Any chance CBS wil rethink it’s decision???
Love the show. Would like to see the network give it a chance. Starting a series in January n giving it till may is not fair. Everyone know that’s the part of the year that is the hardest to get into a new series. Give it a full year then decide.
i enjoyed every episode of it, please proceed with episode 14 until the rest episode to complete season 1
We love this show disappointed it is cancelled, looked forward to seeing it. As usual good shows get canceled
Sorry to see cxl… absolutely love the show. Reconsider please.
This was great show ever time watch something it good on tv they cancelled need give it another season. If next season rating drop them cancelled it then
Love Battle Creek. One of the best shows on TV and its just getting very good. Keep it on.
