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?
This show is awesome! Great ensemble cast. Realistic back stories (some never discovered). I never understand why everyone wants to “compete” for Sunday and Thursday top ratings. Introduce the show on a night when other networks scrap for ratings. CBS must find a show to match the success of The Good Wife…on another night!
This quirky cop show has all of the pieces to be successful. Bring back this show!
Love Battle creek. I live in Sweden so we are watching it to.
I enjoyed the show and think a renewal was in order. It had a good cast and underlying storyline. I was looking forward to .next season.
Bad call CBS

Love Battle Creek! Isn’t there some way to get it back???
Please bring back “Battle Creek”, if not, at least show the 4 remaining episodes
i love this show
Please reconsider canceling Battle Creek. We love this show.
This is messed up, I think this series was awesome! I enjoyed the humor it brought along with the romance behind it. Why people didn’t watch it, I don’t know. it is better than any CSI series!
Disappointed that Battle Creek has been cancelled. Any chance of a change of heart?
Please reconsider canceling Battle Creek. We love this show.
i love this show, and all the actors! i think there is so many options to cancel before cancelled this one! about the numbers, is all the CBS app viewers are count it? i always watch the show in CBS app. really hope that there is season two for us!
My new favorite show. Please uncancel it.
This show quickly became my favorite, and I loved the CBS lineup of The Good Wife, Madam Secretary, and Battle Creek. Why do networks not give new shows a decent chance anymore? I think that some viewers (myself included) choose to stop watching shows because they think they may be cancelled. The writing and acting on Battlecreek was excellent. It was unique, interesting, funny, and sometimes suspenseful. I loved seeing a show that wasn’t set in NYC or LA for once!!! I know it’s already too late for CBS, but can this show continue on Netflix or on a cable… Read more »
It was a good show! The series finale was excellent. Wish they would have given it another chance. What does the 18-49 demographic know? All they watch is Netflix.
I really liked that show and sorry it was cancelled. Why is it that CBS cancels good shows and leaves the crap shows like Big Brother continue?
I loved battle creek. And it was a god season ending, but it cant just end like that, i have so many Questions. So please make a nummber 2 so i can get all the answers.
I am so tired of CBS and other networks canceling great shows for REAL ADULTS to cater to the fumble butt Gen X brats! I loved this show! The idiot Gen X er’s who can’t do anything but keep their nose’s glued to IPads , Twitter , and Facebook, and stupid reality shows that are SOOOOO fake. CBS SUCKS!!!!! They canceled a great show. An awesome show of cross genre…comedy..romance..crime! CBS you are just plain WH$&(‘s to morons!
