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 wife’s and my favorite new show. Wish CBS would give some of these show a a bit more time to get established.
Please give it a chance. It is a fun show to watch. With all the other violent shows this show was a nice change. Typical… too bad…everyone i know liked the show
I think Battle Creek was one of the better new shows on TV. How can Battle Creek get cancelled and a show like American crime be get a second season.
I really like this show, give it a chance.
Don’t cancel the show! It’s one of my favorite shows. I look forward to watching each new show.
Give this show a chance! This show is witty and funny and a little cheesy! Love it sad to see it go
Don’t believe Battle Creek will be cancelled…have enjoyed the show from the start and the interaction between the principals…please reconsider the decision for those of us who enjoy this show
My husband & I LOVE this show & are so mad about it being canceled!!! Now there’s officially nothing on CBS.
please do not cancel this show! maybe move it to a new day and time? does everything have to appeal to idiots on television these days?
he show shouldn’t be cancelled after one season. We have had to endure The Mentalist and Hawaii 5-0, so give it another chance
Really like this show…..love the characters…..give it some time……..
I should just stop watching TV. Anything a little different and that I like gets cancelled. Please pretend that I never watched Battle Creek and don’t cancel it.
Don’t cancel this series! I really like Battle Creek and thought the actors were well chosen for the parts involved. I thought it had great dynamics with various types of humor between the characters and the overall story content was right on. I believe that the late Sunday time slot it is in may be part of an issue with watchers as sports events delayed several episodes well into “late night”. At least give it another season in a time with less likely delays.
I loved this show, for its wit, clever dialog, whimsical repartee between the actors, and the plainly nice set of characters they portrayed. Its concept was different enough to engage those of us so fed up with formula cop shows. The relationship between the main characters was so ripe to be developed further. What a pity that ratings dictate the demise of an intelligent and enjoyable television program.
So disappointed to see this show go! The cast was great and scripts were witty and wry – so much better than much of the drivel out there. It seems like a show that could work on Netflix! PLEASE pick it up
