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.

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?
Battle Creek is smart and funny and has a lot of heart. It is very well written and Dean Winters is awesome!!! CBS should renew it for a second season! I WANT A SECOND SEASON!!!!
OK, so the season finale of Battle Creek lost out to Nascar….let me take a guess, it probably lost out to the Super Bowl too!!! CBS, you are CRAZY if you cancel this show!!!! There was ZERO advertising of the show, it is in one of the ABSOLUTE WORST TIME SLOTS, and you will probably replace it with a brand new reality type show or more of the Kardashians!!! Put it on a better night, or even just move it up to 9pm, and give it another shot – it is probably the best new show out there. And none… Read more »
It is very frustrating when networks don’t give a new show, especially a quality show, time to find its audience. Please rethink your decision to cancel Battle Creek. Great cast and intelligence and humor are a recipe for success. Give it a chance.
Loooove Battle Creek – the ensemble is terrific! Please renew!
Please, please renew Battle Creek. Well written, funny – one of the best series in a long time.
Battle Creek should be given a second season.
Don’t cancel battle creek !
I really like the show and hope it is not cancelled.
Please don’t take this show off the air!! It’s really terrific and one of my favorite shows!!
PLEASE RENEW!!! It took a while for the cast to gel and story lines to get good but it finally is and I would hate to see it go!!
This show is one of my absolute favorites. I have never felt the need to comment on a show before, but when I heard the chances of Battle Creek being canceled, I felt the need to say something. It is intelligently written and fun to watch. Please no more reality shows – they’re making my family dumb!!! 😉
LOVE this show. Please renew!

Also,
A feedback form can be sent to CBS as well through their audience services link. Please select Battle Creek in the drop down menu under ‘choose a category’ at this link: http://audienceservices.cbs.com/feedback/feedback.htm) and let CBS know why you think the show deserves a second season.
Yes, absolutely. I went on the site, posted my opinion. It was very easy and quick.
I’ve gone to the petition, and the other site, I’ve even written letters. Just face facts folks, if you re over 50 we’re a non entity to the networks. Our opinion means nothing. The reality show, nitwit sitcoms, 37 CSI, NCIS, same o same o, will prevail. Because when they do come up with an original thought, it gets cancelled in a month. Very sad
Agree! Much better viewing on cable channels…unfortunately, it’s the dumbing down of America on the free channels. Hmmm … shouldn’t some group or another be upset that there’s no free high quality television available to the masses:)
Yes…I really have grown to love Battle Creek and it’s characters! Please don’t cancel this unique show!
This show took a few episodes to watch but now I love it! Not just another silly cop show.
Do not cancel Battle Creek! We love it
