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?
We love this show. Very sad to learn it won’t be back.
Shame on you!!!!!
My wife and I loved the show. It had us always trying to figure out which way the storyline would go. You truly faithful viewer’s know we never could. Very original writing and a very likeable cast of character’s. A decent time slot would have most likely garnered better rating numbers
I think that the series should continue its very captivating. In everything there has to be setbacks that doesn’t mean the show should be cancelled
Why all the good shows get cancel. This show is great and is should not be cancel.
I just downloaded this show after my grandma through a temper tantrum because they were ending the show. I am hooked, but with only 12 episodes, it is hard to pace myself. In my little middle school world, I have found that most of my friends record the show and watch it when they have time, not on a Sunday night when you forgot about that Spanish homework that is due tomorrow, or something like that. I don’t know if they count recordings in the view thing or not, but I do know that I have caught myself watching NCIS,… Read more »
I Loved this show I watched every episode. The characters where amazing and the story lines were interesting, I always looked forward to the next weeks episode. Its a shame they have cancelled it. It is way better than CSI or even Law and order which has somehow made it for years. Really wish they would reconsider a second season. I adore Russ’ personality.
Battle Creek was the best show for a long time, much better than CSI and other shows like that. We need at least a second season
dissapponted to see that this program has been cancelled! I was looking forward to watching a new season.
Battle Creek was one of best shows in years. TV is getting so poor, and when something good shows up it gets cancelled. Shame on CBS.
I thought it was. A cool show.
We really liked Battle Creek – very funny and entertaining. Why don’t you give these shows a chance and forget about 18-49 year olds
I would like for you to give it a second cgance
Battle creek is a great television show. It’s so unfortunate that the network won’t take a second season to let the public tune in. All the characters are likeable, the stories are not straight forward, but leads the watcher on a classy well written event. It is about the characters instead of the special effects or the technology of police work. (Like CSI). It’s written by the people who made “House” which ran many years, but also started slowly, and certainly increased its viewers. I hope that due to those who did watch it speaking up it will be relooked… Read more »
I enjoyed the show, sorry to hear that it’s not coming back. Sunday after football was a rough time slot, starting was never the same.
Battle Creek was the best please keep it on
I love the show and I think the final episode was absolutely the best. I need to know what happens next! Wish they would bring it back, I want more!!
