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?
Battle Creek is one of few shows that my DVR was set to record; the more I watched the more I like this show. I did not anything about it until just happen to channel hop to it and I was able to catch up through repeat episodes and have been hooked on it. I sure hope that another network picks up as this is such a good program and they are not easily found these days.
This is a great show! Move it to M-F at 8pm. New shows don’t make it on the weekend.
BEST new show on TV…..I think they need to have another season… this is one of the best shows on TV. it grabs you, the hour keeps you glued to the tube & can’t wait until the next week. This really needs second season. CBS is throwing in the towel too quick.
Why!!!??? I really really like this show. Maybe Netflix will scoop up this underrated gem. Super disappointed.
I really like this show! It was just gellin and now you cancel it? Cancel the moronic Big Brother instead. SMH.
Battle Creek was awesome, cant believe it will be gone, I agree with leigh, put it behind a good show and it would do awesome. Bring it back.
Loved it DVR it GRAVELY disappointed it was cancelled 🙁
Really liked the show. Would like it renewed!!
Please renew. Give it a better time slot or start it during the regular season not during the spring. It is a great show better then NCIS New Orleans.
Why do they always keep the annoying and not funny or fun shows and get rid of the good ones? This show may have had a tough start but the characters were real and fun to watch. I think the actors are great together and am so interested in finding out more about them. Not usually the case with most shows. CBS please reconsider or maybe another channel can save this show!
Too bad CBS cancelled Battle Creek. I really hope AMC, FX, TBS, or another network realizes the mistake CBS made and snaps this up!!!! With a few minor character changes this show could be big!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I really enjoyed this show, I think they should have given it another season.
Show should have been given a second season. We just found out Milt’s secret. We needed more time to develop the relationship between Russ and Milt. Geesh you cant do anything in the first season except learn the characters names. But as usual a network has jumped the gun and a possible hit show goes into the trash can. Oh another big mistake CBS made was to stick it in Sunday night. The worst night ever. Wednesday would have been a better night I would think. That seems to be the weakest night to me. To late though. To late,… Read more »
Don’t cancel! All the characters were interesting….good chemistry!
Smartly acted and written. So it gets cancelled and some lowest common denominator “reality” opus will continue to foul the airwaves. GREAT!
