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?
So disappointed that it’s not being renewed… Big mistake! Please reconsider!!!
Please give this show another chance. I thoroughly enjoy it and think it could do well in a different time slot. If it were put after a popular show, more people might try it. And many more would like it.
I really like this shoe and hate to see it canceled. Please give it another shot.
Very smart and entertaining show. Would follow it to another network.
This show was great. It was getting better and better. The characters were evolving nicely. My son and I loved it. He’s 20 yrs old. CBS… Please give it another chance. Not all viewers like stupid humor like on shows such as the Big Bang Theory. You guys are blowing it in my opinion.
What a shame. A really entertaining show, with an interesting cast of
characters. Was glad to see CBS finally might have gotten it right. Guess not. Hope they re-think this decision.
Love the show. Ask les moonvie to give it a chance. Think of other shows that took time to catch on.

CBS messed up with this one. Great show, great acting and the poorest possible time slot. I agree, they should have tried a different night. Maybe some intelligent network will pick it up?
🙁
I’ve loved the show and it’s quirky characters. I don’t believe CBS gave it a chance for viewers to see it. Please renew – perhaps on a different night/time slot. There is great chemistry between the characters and it’s a mistake to cancel.
I just wonted to say, I really liked the show. I hope you will bring it back. Thanks.

Battle Creek has been my favorite show on TV since its first episode. I am so, so disappointed that it has been cancelled.
