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 fun, spoofy show that makes some good points. It is much better than some shows various networks have renewed.
Loved it. Very disappointed.
Our entire family is terribly disappointed at the loss of this delightful program. Please bring it back. It was the only program we could enjoy as a family – just good TV!
I eagerly looked forward to Sunday nights. “60 minutes” I will watch new or reruns. Rare to find seasoned, intelligent reporters on net works now. “Madame Secretary”,is a joy to view, especially the casting of the family, the timing of events, the content, their married life. “Good Wife” I watched for the first time because it followed. I may not watch it now, BECAUSE YOU HAVE CANCELLED ‘”BATTLE CREEK” !!!!!! “Good Wife might be viewable IF she is going into private practice–forget the shenanigans. YOUR CANCELLATION OF “BATTLE CREEK” IS A BLOW!!. tHE SERIES IS A gem. THE TITLE, THE… Read more »
the Battle Creek must`n be cancelled.They have to re air it.We were waiting for season 2 but this is a dissapointment.
One more good show cancelled … CBS, pls do something n bring it back
I think Battle Creek should be renewed. One of the best shows on CBS. Could have put it on during the week. They don’t have that many good shows. I hope another network picks it up. I am very disappointed.
Battle Creek was a great show. Really enjoyed watching it. Great pairing of cops. CBS needs to bring it back!!!
My family and I never missed this show. It was well acted and smartly written—too bad CBS does not care about people over 49! I am very disappointed in CBS and hope some smarter TV folks pick up this show.
WHY DO ALL THE REALLY GOOD SHOWS GET CANCELLED? THIS IS A TERRIFIC SHOW WITH A GREAT CAST AND STORYLINES.
MAKE IT WORK!!
Please go directly toCBS to leave your comments. Fill their broadcast feed back with reasons to save Battle Creek.
I love the show, the actors work well, and it is the only show I watch on Sundays, keep.it!! I have friend’s that live it also!
loved the show!
One of the shows my wife and i enjoy together. Reminds me of The Good Guys from Fox. Wish someone would pick this up.
There are only a few shows my wife and I agree on, and this is one of them. We have been DVRing them, and have one episode left. We will miss it, you didn’t have it on long enough to capture an audience.
