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?
Don’t cancel!!!
It is a good show. CBS should have put it on a different night like Friday or Saturday prime time so it could develop a strong audience. Sunday’s r not a TV night. People have to work. End of weekend. They didn’t give it a chance.
I can’t believe this show has been cancelled!! We love the true, not corny humor this show has. This show has great writers, and talent that is so lacking in so many shows today. I believe CBS didn’t do enough to highlight this shows entertainment value to its viewers. So disappointed CBS!
Well, the kids in diapers at CBS did it again (in the board room)..Just when Battle Creek was getting REALLY REALLY GOOD, WACK,. tHEY SHOULD ALL BE FIRED!!!!! sO many good shows have fallen, Unforgettable, Almost Human, now Battle Creek. Most to be replaced with the STUPIDEST reality shows. I’m about to stop watching tv. You cancel Elementary and I’ll have to do something about it.
Save this shiw
Just discovered the show and love it! Sorry it was cancelled.
Too bad it’s a great show. Wonderful chemistry between the characters. Great acting. Maybe the time slot wasn’t the best. Why not earlier than 10:00PM?
This is very disappointing and makes me dislike CBS for very much for cancelling the show!
Great show, great characters would love o see more
I LOVE this show!! The characters and their relationships are fantastic! I am so disappointed that it’s been cancelled! I only religiously watch about 3 shows; I guess I’m down to 2 now. 🙁
LOVE THIS SHOW!
Why in the world would you cancell this wonderful show…it is smart and funny and not unduly violent…decent story lines…the acting was good and you got to really like the characters and care abt them….please give it another chance…better time slot!! Bad idea to cancel it
Very disappointed. I really like BATTLE CREEK! Please bring it back. You folks leave some of the silliest things on… please reconsider. I would even watch it live.
Great show! Very disappointed that another good show is cancelled. What we don’t need is another crappy reality show. CBS, please reconsider.
Agree. The reality shows are stupid.
Loved the show. Disappointed that it was cancelled.
