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?
COME ON NETFLIX! BATTLE CREEK! BATTLE CREEK! BATTLE CREEK!
Hate that it was cancelled.hope Netflix will make a 2nd season.
I hate that this show was cancelled.. It is a great series and deserves a second chance.. Who gives a flying crap about Supergirl or whatever dumb ass **** they’re putting on instead.. CBS has nothing of substance anymore.. Seriously pissed off..!!
I can’t believe that Battle Creek was cancelled!
Please bring it back.
i think battle creek was a good show. ed is right there is not anything else on cbs that I would normally watch.
There’s crap on CBS now, so take that off and put on Battle Creek
My husband and I made this a nightly show on Netflix. We are both sad that there will not be another season. They should have given it more of a chance. It started slow, but it picked up and we got really in to it.
Ah, man… This is such a great show. CBS shouldn’t have had it on a Sunday night. The cast, writing, and storylines are amazing. I’m really disappointed that CBS dropped this. Please, Netflix, pick it up, revive it, as you did Longmire.
Just finished watching Battle Creek on Netflix. Really enjoyed it, was looking forward to another season! I don’t understand why some shows that have high ratings are considered to be so good.. guess I prefer the “wrong” stuff. Really a shame it was canceled after one season.
Netflix should take it on
It’s disappointing to watch so many quality shows being cancelled due to low ratings. It makes me wonder what the American public really wants to see on tv. Quality, entertaining shows with excellent writing and excellent acting, or is everyone out there except for me so hooked on garbage reality shows that they don’t even notice the really good stuff anymore. Not enough of us have a voice a guess. Really really too bad.
Couldn’t have said it better.
Put Battle Creek on Nexflix
It is on Netflix
Can’t believe this show was cancelled, was a great show!
AMAZING show! So sad to see it go…. What a great cast of characters! They all work so well together too, witty and humorous. It’s a shame CBS is calling this a “failure.”
I really enjoyed the first few episodes on Netflix and was really hoping for more. Disappointed I won’t be able to see more of it.
Looks like we all loved it, classic victim of the Sunday night wars. I didn’t even know it existed when it originally aired. Classic Vince gillighan. Starts off a tad slow and gemmicky and by mid season/amazing character and plot development it’s a captivating emotional roller coaster. Bring it I to Netflix exclusives so it can really blossom to its full potential! !
