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?
CBS. I REALLY LIKE THIS SHOW.
PLS DO NOT CANCEL 😉
Battle Creek…great show…DO NOT CANCEL !!!
CBS should’ve never put a new show in such a crap time slot. I think this show had potential but Sunday night on CBS always seems to get screwed up by live sports.
Very disappointed. I really liked the show.
Very disappointed. CBS is so short sighted. Seems the just want more NCIS knockoffs.
Please reconsider! Offbeat, funny, serious…unique dynamic. Not your typical “buddy” cop show!
Please renew. We love this show!!
this wasn’t given enough time. It’s a very good show. The two main characters are great together. Good dialogue and not your usual predictable cranked out cop shows. Edgy, funny and qwerty.
Hopefully it gets picked up on cable – USA or TNT.
Don’t cancel Battle Creek!
I agree, the networks do not give shows a chance to build a following anymore.
The expect people to either immediately like or dislike something.
Please renew Battle Creek. It is enjoyable with a mix of drama and comedy.
The drama is not gory or disturbing.
It was definitely cancelled too soon. Like the others, it grew on me and I’d love to see it back in the fall. CBS- please rethink this!
We loved Battle Creek, it should have been given a chance for Season 2. The chemistry between the FBI agent and the cop was priceless. CBS doesn’t know a good show when it has one. There wasn’t much promotion done for the show which might have saved the show. So sorry to see it cancelled.
My husband liked this show. Please give us shows that are other than the dumb reality shows. It takes more than 2 months to get involved in a show. Use your heads people.
Battle Creek was super funny and entertaining. This is typical CBS, they always cancel th good shows and renew crap shows like under the dome. Ridiculous! Renew Battle Creek!
I love the show Battle Creek and you shouldn’t cancel it! Give it a chance, please. He stories and the character are fantastic.
