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?
What? Was it too intelligent? or too well acted? I really liked “Battle Creek.”
Please don’t cancel! This is a good one!!
We really like it. Watch it every week
Please don’t cancel! Don’t let him die. Better than reality shows.
We love it! Please don’t cancel it!
A series that definitely has grown on me. Please renew.
I really like the show. – so little worth watching on TV- this is a gem !’ Please renew’!!
Should be renewed.
I love this show! CBS has made a huge mistake by not renewing it for another season. CSI CYBER is a dog. Please don’t waste a time slot on that show.
Think Battle Creek was cancelled to soon. Should have been given another season. Great show. Good chemistry. So many stupid shows stay that should be cancelled I believe sometimes the networks that their watching have no intelligence.
Great show! Don’t cancel it!!!
My husband and I really enjoyed the show. It was a nice clean show with good characters. We would never be interested in the new series “The Zoo”. Please give it another chance.
I liked this show, even though a little wacky! I couldn’t watch on Sunday’s very often, but I’ve been watching series on demand! Why should this get cancelled when they keep so many stupid and inane series and many comedies that are not really funny, when this one is!?? And it still made some serious points that made it worthwhile. Bring it back.
We really enjoy Battlecreek. We think it is a creative slant with a procedural show , that had a tough time slot ….. The show is just starting to flesh out the characters. The script and actors are top notch. Honestly, it could have made it on any other night. (We are not in the 19- 49 age group. ). Sure hope it shows up on anther channel!
Hope another network picks it up. Good show. Want it to stay. Great chemistry!
Please put this show back on!! I love this show and so sick of reality shows! I need this show so please put it back on!
The reason the program had such LOW ratings was because viewers couldn’t get attached to the two leads because they had such an antagonistic relationship (one sided) that made the viewers identifying with those two leads almost impossible. It would have been better if the one lead, detective, tried to compete in a friendly manner with the FBI agent instead of showing such hostile disdain!!
This was a great show. The actors had super chemistry. It had a different take. I am so let down. I am watching the last one right now and am so bummed.
How about looking at the time slot. Put it behind Hawaii 5 0 on Friday nights for example. Why not give it another time slot before listening so close to the numbers.
l was really like CBS again.
Now, not so much.
Why ???? The show was just fitting together. The characters were great and it was a nice fresh change from your normal shoot them/blow them up terrorist story line. Not to mention the stupid reality shows..
Someone should pick up this show and give it another chance in a better time slot. PLEASE
