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 love it…the morons who make decisions about broadcast tv don’t know much about the Netflix crowd.
I watched it on NetFlix and I think the show is great! I am very disappointed there is not a season 2.
Please bring it back! I binge watched it on Netflix and loved it.
Me too! Couldn’t stop!
The acting was wonderful, the show was funny and touching. I had never seen it nor had I heard of it so I believe the promotion was not well done. Bring it back please.
Wow bring it back the show please
Who are these people that didn’t like it?? Did they conduct their polls in a bunch of trailer parks with people too ignorant to understand the Amazing writing, the humor and the addictive characters? THIS SHOW IS AWESOME. In fact, everyone that I’ve recommended it to has come back and said it was amazing! We are college educated, in our 30’s and early 40’s and like shows like The Blacklist, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, Etc… PLEASE RECONSIDER A SEASON 2! You just need to promote it better. No one has ever heard of it!!!!! We only found… Read more »
It is an entertaining, and well written program. Please bring it back.
Just finished watching Season 1 on Netflix, great characters, good show. Sorry to hear there will not be a Season 2.
I’m watching it on Netflix and I’m liking it. It took a few series to get into the characters but now it’s really enjoyable to watch their personalities develop.
we LOVED Battle Creek. i hope Netflix picks it up. really well written and intelligent but i guess no match for the trash usually on TV these days.
Its real bad its been cancelled… I found it real awesome
This is extremely disappointing! I just finished binge watching the first season, we need season two!
I really enjoyed the show. Both head actors are fantastic. I can’t believe it’s been cancelled.
can not believe they cancelled this show love it
Each episode allowed more than one or two of the characters to shine. It was developing multiple character storylines in an obvious attempt to build a foundation for a long running series. It had humor, romance (well almost), insight into the differences in police techniques, and characters with whom we could empathize.
If one of the other networks is smart, they will pick it up. CBS obviously doesn’t recognize a brilliantly written show when they see it.
Apparently, the general viewers didn’t recognize how good this show is, either. The ratings were dismal. i don’t know what’s wrong with people. It was a great show.
