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?
I think that battle creek should definitely be continued for another season at least. The only reason the ratings were so low I feel was because of the day and time it was aired. Winters is a great actor, actually one of my favorites, and I think battle creek is genuinely funny and a great idea! If it were given a better day/timeslot, it would have been better received and probably would have been a big boost to Winters acting career, he did amazing work in Oz and law & order SVU to name a couple, and battle creek, though… Read more »
What a shame! Well-developed characters and interaction between them. Story lines intriguing and engaging. Why not give the show a chance to grow? It seems that every time we get involved in a new show, it is gone the next season.
Please renew this show absolutely loved it
Does anyone know if all our comments pleading for “Battle Creek” to return, are going anywhere? I hope someone will be forwarding our pleas to the right people who make these decisions about cancelling shows? Oh yes, and PLEASE bring back “Battle Creek”.
I am appalled tat a show of this stature would be cancelled. I hope it will somehow rise like the phoenix and bless our TV nights again.
So my husband and myself loved the show. We are ages 61 & 55 but I guess our age demographic doesn’t fit into your requirements. Guess our age demographic means nothing and too bad because we have seen some really good programming come and go because of our age. WOW
I really love the show and how milt, angew and the whole team get’s together to brainstorm on solving the case.
By watching this show I have learn a lot on how we can survive in an office environment and how we should cooperate with our tram in order to reach our goal.
I want the show to continue
Too bad I enjoyed the show. Different kind of cop show.
There wasn’t enough publicity about it at all. I was just scrolling through the channels one night and saw “Battle Creek”, so was curious and tuned it. I loved it right from the start. Maybe it should be given a different name? It’s a show for smart people, and I hate to say it, the masses aren’t that intelligent as they all watch “Big Brother” “The Biggest Loser” “Honey boo boo …. you get my drift. Same thing happened with “The Closer”, it was an excellent, smart, well written show but no one had heard of it so it got… Read more »
We really enjoyed Battle Creek and very disappointed it was cancelled. Anyway CBS would reconsider.
I will miss this show. The acting was very good. I really liked Dean Winter. It would be a great series for another network to pick up and put into a decent time slot. We DVR our shows especially in the summer and often something had pushed all the shows back and it wouldn’t be there. Just binge watched the last three episodes and they were powerful. Gotta have more!!!
Nuts! A show that was fun to watch gets cancelled, yet the recent lame comedy shows seem to get renewed. Go figure?
I love battle creek it’s a great show! I can’t believe that it’s going to be cancelled!!! Please reconsider!!!!
I am disappointed to see that Battle Creek has been cancelled. I am so sick of shows like “The Housewives of where ever”, “Party Down South”, etc being renewed as they offer nothing. Battle Creek was an entertaining drama/comedy and the actors were engaging. Sad to see other decent show being shut down.
Very disappointed that Battle Creek is cancelled , I really enjoy it!
Another good show down the tubes. How about giving a show more than one season and in doing so giving them a chance to develop their characters ? So tired of mystery people with no taste getting to decide what shows I get to watch.
