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?
A great well done show
Love battlecreek. Bring it back.
Why do that always cancel good shows and keep the same stupid crap on tv I want shows like battle creek, not spin offs or the same stupid crap comedies with canned laughter.
Somebody bring it back !!!!!Netflix help!!!!
My husband & I have enjoyed season 1 of Battle Creek so much on Netflix! We are bumbed to learn of the cancelation of this great show. I’m keeping my fingers crossed some other network will pick it up.
I am so sad to hear this show got cancelled!! Loved all the characters and it was very entertaining. I do not see why they just didn’t try for one more season to answers some questions. Once again, sad to see them gone.
Terrific show: good plots, good acting. Sorry to see it end.
spoiler: To be honest I hate when shows get cancelled on short notice so many questions go unanswered, Like for example we dont know why milts mom doesnt want speak to him and im sure it wasnt because of the case because im pretty sure no one told anyone ther than FBI agents that the milt was the reason the teeeneage boy was killed, I also expected to see detective aarons wedding,I wanted to know if the captains son ever not went to rehab but got clean but cleaned up his act, Another thing this show was absouletely great and… Read more »
My wife and I enjoy the show I hope nextflx picks up the series.
Great show! Only found out about it on Netflix. Season 2, please!!!!
Agree, binge watched in a week. It was a really fun show with great characters. Unfortunately broadcast television doesn’t consider the viewing population of internet streamers which is growing by leaps and bounds beyond the regular daily cable watchers.
To many great shows lose out because those of us with **** to do only watch via stream, meaning a larger and larger part of the maturing audience.
Good show like this are losing to idiot shows like the Kardashian’s or some ridiculous drama or reality Crap.
Next they’ll cancel Elementary and from then on I’m sticking to watching movies…
My husband and I loved the show! It is entertaining and funny. It had great story lines, and we didn’t have to worry that our son might walk in while we were watching it because there was no foul language.
Binge watched the first season in two days. Very disappointed there won’t be more. It was a very entertaining show. Bad decision CBS.
We just finished watching season 1 on Netflix. We hadn’t heard of Battle Creek when it was on CBS – maybe the network did a poor job of promoting the series. We really enjoyed it – loved the cast & the story lines were excellent. Shame on CBS for not giving this series a chance!
I never watch tv so I never know what shows are even out there until they are on Netflix. Sucks that they can’t count viewings through Netflix. I’ve rewatched the season 3 times!
