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?
I love this show and please give it time!!! Love it!!
How pathetic! An interesting show gets cancelled, but those horrid reality shows rule! Mooves is a business man……….I understand……so I suppose it’s the American viewing audience that is pathetic
I love the show the interplay between Russ and Mitch is awesome. If anything can be done to bring this show back I say DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
I have been tuning in every Sunday for Battle Creek. I thought it was clever. I liked that it didn’t take itself very seriously. Get real tired of the dramatic cop shows and all the “realism.” I like the slightly cartoonish feel. It would be a good fit for USA. Hope they or someone picks it up. I think the casting is really good except I’m not sold on the Jane Lynch lookalike captain.
I am going to miss this show. It’s a great show. What a shame it is being cancelled.
Love this show!!! Can’t believe there’s no season 2!
We Loved All Characters ! PLEASE Reconsider Cancelling
Wish the series would be renewed……hope for a second season.
Stupid networks don’t give shows a chance to build an audience. This show is complex and well written. Bring it back CBS!
I loved the show and as I was just watching and realized it was theories finally and not season …..I was very disappointed . I hope it’s brought back, it was different from most sure, better and refreshing. The chemistry between the main character and the rest of the team was great. Besides, when a show doesn’t get enough advertising out there how are people suppose to even know it’s there….must bring back PLEASE
Love LoveLoved !!! Battle Creek ! Friends & I watched Skould be Brought Back !!
I really like this show! Wish CBS would give it one more season!
Stupid execs not a dumb reality show so it gets the ax. Show had great potential only good show the station has besides big bang and moms. Rest is crap including two broke girls
I’m really disappointed that you’re cancelling this show, Battle Creek. I thought it was a fun take on two entirely different types of cops and a nice little comedy side. Maybe the timeslot wasn’t right. Maybe it should have come before Madame Secretary. In any event I think you’re targeting the wrong group with this show any how, I’m 62 and I think people who are older than 49 are probably enjoying it more I agree with the other comments that reality TV sucks and this was a nice refreshing change. Plus I love Madame Secretary and The Good Wife… Read more »
This was a terrific show. I can’t believe it didn’t develop a larger audience. It should have had another time slot.
