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?
NO! This show was the highlight of my week! I absolutely loved the interaction and humour between that characters and the clever plot line! I’m so disappointed.
Me and my husband love the show , its funny interesting and with great actors please ! please! please reconsider and continue with the series.
Typical. why do they keep reality tv shows on air and cancel great shows. Can you not cater to the whole of your audience age range. Can you not even give a show a chance to grow on people. This show is/was fantastic and i’m very disappointed that it’s cancelled. Shame on you. You are no better than ABC channel which channel is widely known as “Already Been Cancelled”.
Very disappointed. looked forward to each new episode. Loved the characters and the chemistry. How can a show like NCIS New Orleans with all the cheesy accents get renewed and Battle Creek get cancelled?
My husband and I loved this show. It was funny and made you think. PLEASE bring it back.
Another decent show axed, such a shame!
I thought this was pretty good – I ‘m sorry the network (?) cancelled it.
So disappointed they cancelled this show!
I was looking forward to season 2. Very disappointing!
I liked the program, it was well written with a good cast and interesting plots. I miss it!
Still pissed about this. One of the only good shows out there amongst the hundreds of absolute crap! and THIS, they cancel ? Wow
Very disappointed. I thought it was smart and I really enjoyed this show and the interaction between the characters. I wish CBS would reconsider…there are so few well-done shows on tv.
so true. a tv show must be a hard thing to do. yet, where I come from all the too many people watch the bad shows instead of the good ones with great actors like Battle Creek.
Please don’t cancel, it is a really good show, the whole family can watch together and enjoy it xoxo
So disappointed!!!! This was a clean show, good character actors, corny sometimes but an all around good watch when you just need to relax. I love Dean and I am sure there are many who love the other lead roles.
Thanks for more blood, guts and less of good home programming I can watch with my teenager.
BOO CBS
It was one of the best show on tv hands down Great actors!!!! Super funny. ! Well written !
So disappointed !!!!!!
