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 hate they canceled it. I was ready to see what happens next season. I hate CBS sometimes I swear.
loved this show….someone please pick it up.
I stopped watching CBS 5 years ago because they cancelled a show I really liked. I finally went back to watching CBS because of this show, Battle Creek. Well, obviously, CBS is just going to cancel any damn show I’m interested in….So, I’m done. I truly hope someone else picks it up.
I can’t believe they cancelled Battle Creek half way through the first season. Not everyone likes reality TV! Stupid shows like Survivor and Big Brother should be on E! with the Kardashians crap! I’m tired of having nothing on in the spring and summer months but reality TV shows and sports! Isn’t that why they created channels like ESPN, Fox sports and NBC sports channels? Once again, another summer without a thing to watch. Guess I too won’t be watching CBS anymore! Can’t wait to see what they put on in its place. Probably do the same thing they did… Read more »
I hate u CBS…lv Battle Creek…will be missed
Loved the show! Why do they cancel the good stuff and keep other boring shows running for decades. Ratings are a flawed system for determining quality.
Please bring back Battle Creek! Not everyone likes stupid shows like Survivor and Big Brother! I’m so sick of reality TV shows being the only thing there is to watch in spring and summer. I completely agree with all of the other viewers who say ” BRING IT BACK PLEASE!”
Finally a great TV series and they have to go and cancel it. Such a shame. That’s what happens when you put it on a night and expect it to compete against sports. I don’t understand why we have to have sports on the 3 major network channels anyway. After all, isn’t that what they 10 ESPN and other sports channels are for? I don’t know anyone who’s a sports fan that doesn’t have some sort of cable or satellite provider in their home. I to hope Netflix picks it up. At least we could watch it without all the… Read more »
I love this show. Give Battle Creek a chance.
Like the show
I like the show very much. Put it back on please.
I truly enjoyed the whole season of Battle Creek except for the finale. I didn’t like the violence especially the involvement of the young boys. I am really sorry about the cancellation of the program.
I love this show, so great. Why did CBS cancelled the best new show on TV and save another stupid NCIS. Please someone pick this series up.
Sounds like the network execs at CBS are back to doing massive amounts of drugs. Poor decision making is a pretty good tell. Battle Creek is a great show.
Putting it on at 10pm on a Sunday night with many of the episodes starting late because of sports programming didn’t help it all. You are making a huge mistake.
The cast was likable, had good chemistry, and it was interesting. One of the best new shows on television. I hope Netflix picks it up. I think it would do very well there.
This was the best new show I have seen in a long time…it has everything…if this gets canceled I hope someone picks it up…It’s worth it!
