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?
Really enjoyed Battle Creek. Finally something entertaining and they cancel it.
Battle creek is my new favorite show. Please keep it on air. All the characters are great.
Please don’t cancel BATTLE CREEK! It’s one of the best shows ever…better than the reality shows, better than all the other cop shows except CASTLE. Give BATTLE CREEK a chance – at least one more season! Air the show on a different night, other than Sunday – perhaps the new night will produce better ratings…it’s sad to think ratings speak for all of us folks who like a show. Please, please renew it for next season!
Of all the shows that should be cancelled this is not one of them. AWESOME acting great plots. Keep this show on.

I love this show. The characters are really starting to gel. I hope another network will pick it up.
This is an awesome show and cancelling it now would be a big mistake.
Loved this show! Great writing and characters, tough detectives and the softer side of humanity. Please don’t cancel it!

I absolutely loved each episode, love Josh Duhamel and the other character who has always been funny on insurance commercials…I enjoyed each episode and am disappointed that viewers would prefer trash and reality shows to something a little decent. This is the third show on a network channel that was canceled. I guess I’ll be watching more cable shows.
Please don’t cancel the show. I look forward to it every week.
Much better than ncis New Orleans. Canceling Battle Creek is a huge mistake. Another network needs to pick up this jewel!!!
I really like this show and hope it is not cancelled. It is well written and well acted with good characters
Please do not cancel Battle Creek
Best writing, cast, story line ever. Don’t cancel these guys were great. Finale was fantastic and shocking. I will look forward to next fall series after you realize you’ve made a mistake.
