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?
Please do not cancel this show. I enjoyed it tremendously and taped every episode. Good characters…just as good or better than the other cop shows that have been renewed. May have been the Sunday night time slot.
Thank you…please bring it back.

Love this show..banter between the two..wonderful..smart and entertaining! Very disappointed!
Bring back; love the show…please bring back
Battle Creek had everything for good entertainment. The main characters are very interesting plus good supporting cast. The plots kept you guessing. What is it with CBS? Why didn’t they publicize this great show more often before pulling the plug? So sad.
The problem with networks is…..they rely on ratings which, in my opinion, are highly inaccurate. Have you been asked what shows you watch? I haven’t.
I loved that show!
My wife and I are disappointed that this show has been cancelled. We enjoyed this show very much the chemistry between the two lead actors was good and we enjoyed the show. Sorry it didn’t get the viewers it needed.
I think the show should have been renewed. I and my sister enjoyed it a lot.
My wife and I loved Battle Creek! We thought Josh & Dean worked well together, as well as the rest of the cast. The show was refreshing and we were enjoying watching the story line unfold. Please reconsider and bring the show back for a second season!
We really liked this show, the character interactions, and are unhappy to find out that the show was canceled. Please bring it back.
I missed out watching Battlecreek when it started. When I did see it I thought it was great! I love it! Was looking forward to next year. Bring it back! Please!
I loved this show- the problem was that it was on too late on Sunday night when most people are getting ready for the Monday work day
Battle Creek was the one show I looked forward to watching. I loved it!! Please don’t cancel it.
