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´m a really disappointed viewer but it´s no surprise they always cancel the good ones 🙁
Really a shame, but typical. Whenever a really creative idea comes along they never give it a chance, yet the drivel continues. It gives you an idea of the mentality of the folks who buy the commercials for these programs.
I still have Battle Creek set to record. CBS needs to promote it and give it a chance to gain momentum. There are so few quality shows these days; why give up so soon?
So sorry to learn this show is cancelled. My wife and I loved it! I agree with all of the positive comments above–great cast, well acted, and well written. I looked forward to it every week!
loved the show. couldn’t wait to watch it each week. loved the pairing of mr. perfect and the more realistic police officer. like the odd couple only with more class and funnier. so disappointed.
I’m not to see it go. Considering out was created by the guy who made the show The Wire and the other guy made Breaking Bad. I had very high hopes for this dynamic duo. But alas it fell far short of either. Maybe they can each create another great show on their own
I really liked the show. 10 PM sunday nights might of been a bad time and nothing is going to live up to breaking bad Im sure people compared but it was a whole different kind of show. Im disappointed it got cancelled I think it would of got better and better. Seems like a lot of crap goes on a long time and good shows get cut Chicago Code was excellent too and that got cancelled. Who knows
Anther good series gone!!!! So disappointing!! And all we get now is CRAP!!! Shows for kids, not for adults!!!
It’ll soon be time to sell my TV.
Battle Creek was a great show and should not have been cancelled.
This is the 3rd show that I liked that has been cancelled. I can’t believe some of the garbage they keep on TV but cancell the different exciting shows..

No way this show should’ve been cancelled!! It was highly entertaining, smartly written and so very well acted!! I am very upset that this has happened!
I am a disappointed viewer.
This was one of my wife’s and mine favorite shows.
We were impatiently waiting for the season to start
Just to look on the Internet and see it was cancelled!
Shame on CBS for not telling your viewers!
I loved the show. Was really hoping it would be back!
