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?
Keep it! Great show!
I loved it and both my husband and I looked forward to this show. How could 6,000,000 viewers not be enough?
Loved the show. How disappointing. CBS made a mistake in canceling it. They have few shows that are worth watching. The Good Wife and the CBS morning news show.
No it should not be cancelled. We really enjoyed it and we’re looking forward to the new season
I love battle creek! I want second season
I loved it! Yes it should have been renewed. I am very disappointed. I had no closure either.
Please RENEW the show. I love it. It is also fun to watch and the cast is great.
This was a good show sorry to see it go
I really loved this show. It contained so many exciting “real” police work as well as interpersonal diatribe. It’s a shame that brain-less shows are renewed, while this enthralling show was cancelled. For shame CBS!
My family loved the show! We were just talking about how we can’t wait for it to come back. so sad.
Battle Creek is a great show ! Please don’t take it off, put it on another day and or time.
Oh, we loved Battle Creek. One reason, is that my uncle lived there. Another reason, is the clean, fun between the two stars. Each character was developing as the season progressed. Now, we will never know why Milt was moved to Battle Creek and what is going on with him and his family. Oh, please, consider airing it at a time when you may be able to draw a larger audience. We thoroughly enjoyed the first season and was eagerly looking forward to season two.
battle creek……RENEW. ! ! !
It was the best show on TV last year, I am very disappointed,.
I loved the show & will miss it!
