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?
This show is far to good to be cancelled! Come on CBS.
I love Battle creek, they always seem to cancel good shows. Give it a chance great characters and is so funny.
We love this show! We really enjoy the relationship between Russ and Milt. Don’t cancel.
I didn’t like this show at first,just watched it on on demand for something new.
After giving it a chance I really like it and hate seeing them cancel a show this good.

Battle Creek is such a great show, one of the very few on TV. CBS please rethink your decision! The cast is amazing!!
Battle Creek is an amazing show!! One of the very few good shows still on TV. It should not be canceled!! The cast is amazing and it is so funny! Bring it back!!!!
This has become our favorite show!!!! I was more concerned that my husband was going to be more upset about the cancellation than he was about our sons failing grade on a test! It’s hard to find a good show these days bc the networks are CONSTANTLY airing TONS of new shows, expecting them to be overnight successes, and when they aren’t, canceling before anyone has a chance to get to know and feel connected with the characters. It’s really frustrating. If they hadnt given Friends a chance to find its groove we may have never fallen in love with… Read more »
Loved this show!! I am from Michigan please CBS bring it back. It was the only show on that I would stay up for during the work week!!
I forgot to add that CBS is the worst network and has nothing but garbage besides Battle Creek! I guess they’ll replace it with some cookie cutter sitcoms or some worthless reality show! Thanks for making sure I don’t watch anything on CBS anymore!
such a great caste why would they cancel it?
I like this show and believe if they would’ve given it a better time slot to premier and have it a second season to price itself it would. Look at what happened with Family Guy!
I love this show! I really hope that CBS reconsiders this decision and renews it. The characters have developed so nicely and I’ve been looking forward to seeing more. Candice Bergen as Russ’s mother was perfect and I wanted to see her back as a recurring character. I have enjoyed a show that has some quirkiness to it! Please bring it back!
Love, love, love the show. Russ and Milt’s relationship is hilarious. I hope it comes back
i loved it. Funny and characters were charming.
