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?
Ludicrous. This is one of the better shows coming out of tv. I really enjoy it. Stupid to bury it on busy Sunday night and then cancel it before it even gets going.
Bad choice on cancelling Battle Creek. This show grows on you (us), and deserves a second season.
This is the BEST new show on TV. I love the characters. Please reconsider canceling this show. I look forward every week to Battle Creek.
I only go out to see quality movies, so I also only watch a few quality TV shows that are available. “Battle Creek” was different, told interesting stories and had excellent acting. Please bring back this quality show.
They finally finished character development and dropped a good show. Please give it another chance. I watched all the shows and thought they were taking too long brining the show forward but the actors and story line are really good. Too much reality show crap (it isn’t reality folks) and all kinds of sports that I don’t care to watch. Love good Detective Shows, especially with humor thrown into a good story line.
Think you made a big mistake.
Dont cancel… Love this serie. Want aSaeson 2. HD in Denmark
Please do not cancel Battle Creek………
It was started during the turmoil time of beginning Summer reruns……You just didn’t give it a chance for folks to get use to! Putting it up against the time span of the Good Wife end season…….tv viewers tuned out at this sacred time slot because there was no Good Wife.
You had a good group of actors to deliver a great story line detective show with a sense of humor woven thru it. I think you jumped the gun on this one!!!!!
Don’t cancel
It definitely grew on me. I’m sorry to see it go.
I really liked the show – its seems the major networks are cancelling all the good shows and showing to many reality shows and to many sports programs – that is what a sports channel is for not for prime time TV slots.
PLEASE RECONSIDER.
We need good shows on TV that has good stories, a great cast and integrity, and less lame reality and famous people sharing their day to day lives. Keep Battle Creek.
Great show. Smartly written, amazing cast. Please don’t cancel!! Please reconsider!!

To cancel one of the best new shows CBS has had in years was a huge mistake . Please reconsider!

PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
