It appears that Battle Creek has lost the ratings war. The low-rated Sunday night police series has been cancelled by CBS.
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 show debuted on March 1st to a disappointing 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.92 million viewers. The numbers got even worse in later weeks and has fallen to lows of a 0.7 demo rating and fewer than six million viewers.
Those numbers aren’t good enough for CBS to order a second season so they’ve now cancelled it.
There are four unaired episodes remaining and the last installment is currently scheduled to air on May 24th.
What do you think? Do you like the Battle Creek TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for season two?
My husband and I both enjoyed the show and that does not happen often. I really hope netflix takes it over. It is a really great program.
Love this show. Watching it on Netflix.
It should have been renewed. It was engaging and entertaining.
Loved Battle Creek. Loved the actor who played Russ, especially . Watched it on Netflix. Make more!
This was a great series. I think CBS made a mistake. Maybe Netflix or Amazon Prime will pick it up and give it a new life.
I have enjoyed this series, and don’t understand what CBS ‘s problem was. The writing was funny and the acting was great. Netflix or Amazon Prime needs to pick this up and keep it going.
Really enjoyed this series and its characters. Very disappointed that it was cancelled.
CBS please renew Battle Creek- it is a great show!
It is so sad, that they canceled the show. I love that so much, characters are amazing, acting is so well done, . Wish they made more of it
This was a good show. Not great but interesting and entertaining. When you consider the absolute crap fest of reality shows, depressing and formulaic crime dramas and stupid sit-coms with idiotic laugh tracks, (by the way, any show with a laugh track needs to be burned at the stake, limbs severed and then made to leave the country) Battle Creek beat them all by being funny, dramatic, and thoughtful. Problem is that half of this country are uneducated mindless zombies who think Snookie or real houses wives is Nobel prize material. But I guess the whole thing is about money,… Read more »
This was a good show. I want to be entertained. I hate reality shows because I have enough reality already! This should not have been cancelled.
Please please please make more seasons! This is such an amazing tv series and the family loves it.
I loved this show also. I would love to see more
This was a wonderful enjoyable TV show. Looked forward to each episode. Great actors, entertaining, refreshing to watch. Have people gotten so use to drugs, violence, foul language and gut rotting drama that bad is good and good is bad? Sad! Battle Creek was and still remains a good show. Hope Netflix does step up to the plate to provide more episodes. CBS decision is a huge disappointment and Battle Creek should have been continued.
As usual a good show is cancelled, shame on you CBS!
So incredibly disappointing. Finally a modern actually very funny, well acted and brilliant show. Why Why Why did CBS cancel. Maybe Netflix and the writers can get together and make more seasons. One can hope!
Great show with great acting. Please, more seasons.
Amen to that Liz. This is one of the best series I’ve seen in years. I can’t believe it performed so poorly.
Ditto!
