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?
Battle Creek is a great
Show put it on another time slot
wrong. Do not cancel. This is the most refreshing TV that we have seen in some time!!
They should have never had this show, should have been on USA, Characters Unite!! That is where it went wrong 🙁 This is a great show, I wish there was more buzz…so someone such as USA would bite, so upsetting!!
I really enjoy Battle Creek. I like that it is a non-violent drama with some comedy and good characters. The story lines are interesting as well. I agree with the comments above. Perhaps change the time slot and day. Personally it does not matter to me because I record it on my PVR.
After watching Battle Creek last night I had to write again.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE !!!
Do Not Cancel BATTLE CREEK………
I love it. It is so good, cute, funny & just a plain good show. We don’t have enough of them.
I watch CBS the most & am surprised that you would cancel this good show.
Please reconsider !!!!’
We look forward to watching Battle Creek every Sunday evening.
We loved it from the 1st episode! There is drama, humor,
likeable characters, and interesting story lines. We’ve told many people
about the show and they all agree and continue to watch Battle Creek.
Sunday, 10:00 p.m. is a tough time slot! CBS should definitely give Battle Creek another chance, on a different day, in a different time slot!
Why? You have you nielsen boxes in the wrong homes because I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Battle Creek. The combo of winters & duhamel was genius. We never get enough and always feel it is over too soon. Definitely shouldn’t be cancelled…wish they would reconsider.
we teboed every show, but late running because of late sports made a lot of them unwatchable…..loved what we saw
I enjoy this show! Please do not cancel.
I love this show…. love the story line and all the characters. Please Please Please don’t cancel this show, If you have to move to a different time or time slot then do it. Big mistake if you cancel…..
Battle Creek………best show, in our opinion. CBS did not market this show properly!
Please reconsider and bring it back…………
I love Battle creek we watch it as a family with my teenage sons. Please do not cancel this show we all love it!!!
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Reconsider canceling this show. My husband and I watch it together and there’s nothing quite like it on TV! We have some great laugh-out-loud moments while watching. What a disappointment to hear it is going to be canceled!
We love Battle Creek! It is a great show. We just cannot watch it on a Sunday evening. Just reschedule and watch the ratings soar! I hope someone else can revive it because we LOVE it.
How could you?? This show is entertaining without being violent! We need more Battle Creeks – give it another chance – PLEASE reconsider.
