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?
Do not cancel Battle Creek. We love it.
I cannot believe that you are cancelling “Battle Creek” and keeping “Two Broke Girls” and the perpetually youthful “Big Bang Theory”. Battle Creek was entertaining and thought-provoking. I would much prefer more programs like and including “Battle Creek”, than “Survivor”. which should have bit the dust long ago! Please consider renewing “Battle Creek” for another season!

Pease keep Battle Creek on the air my whole family of five loved it. The youngest being ten. There are so few shows out there for families that are not reality based. This was a great one and we loved the last episode. It was just getting interesting. Give in another chance!
I didn’t like the first show but decided because of Vince Gilligan I would give it another shot. This show turned out to be one of my favorite shows. I am so sorry it was canceled. I hope there will be enough comments that maybe AMC or TNT will pick it up. I’m so sick of reality shows and these horrible sitcoms.
My entire floor in my dormitory gets together to watch Battle Creek! CBS you suck! Thanks for cancelling a great show – NOT!!!!
Battle Creek is so good. Everyone is right that it is on the wrong time slot and no advertising. One of the best shows and so much potential. I record and also watch on line because of it being so late. Get rid of the other junky shows and put this on for a second season!
My family loved this show. so much better than all the reality shows on TV. The characters were interesting.. one more good show bites he dust

We love this show. The character interactions and jurisdictional complications keep the plot lines fresh. Please reconsider keeping this show.

I loved “BattleCreek. It was great| Not as bloody as most detective shoes and funny. I watched it and recorded it because i was afraid someone would call. There is so much crap on tv . I cant believe you would cancel “battle creek. I cant believe you still hve big brother on cbs. Its nothing but a bunch of hateful back biteing people.
It is disgusting. The reason battle creek it had a low rateing is because it did not get any publicity. Most of the people that i mention the show to had never heard of it.
I completely agree with you!!!

Please reconsider not canceling Battle Creek.
My husband and I love this show. There is really not much stuff on t.v. now a days, because of all the reality B.S. shows. Battle Creek was very entertaining it kept us guess what was gonna happen next. Please Please reconsider!!!!
The show really starts to grow on you. It’s a show that SHOULD be renewed for next season! The ratings are probably greatly affected by the night and time slot. Sunday at 10 PM. A lot of your audience goes to bed after good wife because they have to get up early on Monday morning. If you want to do a real comparison, switch time slots with good wife and see how that works out.
My family is so sick of the dumbest, low-grade, foolish shows being renewed, ie. TwoBrokeGirls, while canceling shows with great plots, acting, and just fabulous entertainment such as Battle Creek. Evidently the audiences today are becoming so accustomed to stupidity in these low grade comedies and (fake) reality shows, they do not recognize the quality of Battle Creek, Stalker, etc. We have decided to not watch any new shows on any network. We’ll wait and see which ones are kept; watch a couple episodes from the previous season, and determine if they’re worth our time. Why get interested in a… Read more »
AGREED!!!! Ditto to everything you said!!!
Totally agree with your comments and those of earlier disappointed viewers. I was pleasantly surprised after first episode as most shows currently are vapidly unwatchable. Still miss Breaking Bad and House … Thought there was finally something to take up the slack. Really hope FOX or AMC pick up this series. Kudos to the terrific cast for a truly worthy effort. Joining your boycott on new shows. Why bother?
Please renew Battle Creek. It is one of the few showa I look forward to.
My husband and 8 are extremely disappointed you have cancelled a great show with such good chemistry between the two main characters, please reconsider!

I don’t get it – you KEEP Two Broke Girls and cancel Battle Creek!! Two Broke Girls is the dumbest show ever and Battle Creek is great! I loved that it involved a different city and the quirks, twists and turns. Great Cast too. Go figure….
