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?
keep it please please
i enjoyed the show. There’s always a few needed that isn’t violent or real life shows like big brother. All the real life drama on those shows gets old. There’s enough drama between people in life than have it all over tv all the time. I think it feeds drama & how to treat people bad than a show to escape out of. We need a balance of variety. Thank you
One of the best shows on TV – lots of humor, intrigue, and much welcomed fresh story lines. I was looking forward to season 2. It is very disappointing to learn that has been cancelled, especially since there are so many other pointless, repetitive, and mind-numbing shows still on the air.
Great show. Really enjoyed it. If it had been given more time, I think it would have gained momentum. The good shows are cancelled and we end up getting more reality shows. It is getting so there is nothing to watch on tv anymore.
We love Battle Creek! Every week it got better and better. The combination of actors is great and they all work so good together in the series. We heard today that it was cancelled and are very disappointed. I can’t believe they are keeping NCIS New Orleans and not Battle Creek, which is a lot better show IMO…… 🙁
Mistake, great show!
Not too gruesome
Of all the cops shows out there this was the last one that should be cancelled. It was funny and interesting, with a great cast. I all so like how it was too gruesome which seem the to be the way of most cops shows these days.
LOVE BATTLE CREEK!! DO NOT CANCEL IT¡!!!!
Renewed. Just started watching it. Great show
This was a very nice show – one of few we watched on a regular basis. Always had the DVR set to record each episode. CBS is being short sighted in cancelling. This was a refreshing contrast to what is typically on TV. They should move it to a better time slot and promote it more instead of cancelling. VERY disappointed.
Love the show and the cast. Very unhappy it is cancelled.
loved Battle Creek. Great characters in a Middlewestern town to which many of us can relate. Detectives who dress like they sleep in their clothes and a snarky GQ dressed FBI agent kicked to the curb–or is he?? So many of the detective shows give us the same old New York, LA brassy crap. An old retired teacher who had lots of cops and detective’s kids in class. Flawed as hell, yet pretty honest and doing the right thing most of the time. I thought the show did this to a T, plus entertaining. The show did its job portraying… Read more »
