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 battle creek. The humor is great. Please don’t cancel the show.
took awhile but Battlecreek grew on me. I considered it one of my favorite shows, can’t believe it was cancelled. I don’t want to watch any more new shows just when you get involved in storyline the network cancels. Give it a chance!
My husband ( who is a retired police sergeant) and I love the show! Please don’t cancel it! There are plenty of shows that deserve to be canceled and this isn’t one of them. Bring it back for another season!
This was one of the few shows my husband and I looked forward to each week. We don’t understand why CBS keeps so many crap shows and cancels the ones we like. Please CBS
bring this show back.
This is a funny, talented show. The characters are interesting and developing nicely.
Stop cancelling the good shows and replacing them with junk.
I for one have absolutely no interest in Charles Manson. I see there is a new show about him coming out this fall.
Netflix is looking better and better
My husband (who is a retired police sergeant) and i love the show! Please don’t cancel it!!! There are so many crappy tv shows and this definitely isn’t one of them. Bring it back for another season!
Battle Creek was the most original police drama on TV. Too bad most of America is satisfied with mind numbing, formulaic drivel like NCIS
Please renew….this show is awesome!!!!!
GOOD show! Give it more time and a better time slot
After watching the season finale I was just checking in hopes that the show would be renewed for the fall. This is one of a few that I liked that are being canceled. Obviously not enough other people like what I like.
You are totally right a Betty, it should be renewed!!!
Unfortunately it all comes down to ratings and the number of people watching the sponsors’ commercials. Whether the show is good or not doesn’t matter and the great chemistry between Russ and Milt goes down the drain.
It took a few episodes for me to really start enjoying
the show. The characters are becoming more developed,
complex, and interesting. The finale had me on the
edge of my seat. Please bring the show back.
It seems unfair to your viewers to cancel a good show that you never bothered to promote. I found it by accident and became more interested with each show. No ads, no hype, no promotion. No wonder CBS is lagging behind in ratings. Bad move on their part.
Why is it when something good works the powers that be ax it. Dumb.
Why….??? does all the Crap get renewed, but ohhh no, Battle Creek, Stalker get the axe, do the suits have their heads stuck so far up their @$$ or is it the old payola scam….either way it blows…..
Keep this show. It is a great mix of drama, comedy and romance.
