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?
Didn’t know this show was on until I seen it on Netflix. Netflix should pick it up.
We just watched the whole season on Netflix and loved it! I can’t believe they aren’t making another season.
If this show had been given a good time slot, it would have made it! I think it is rotten that CBS cancelled it. Boooooo to CBS
I never knew it was on TV…but I watched it on Netflix and I’m really unhappy to learn that it was cancelled…It was a fun show to watch.
Being from Battle Creek its easy to get caught up in everything wrong with the show based on, it not looking anything like Battle Creek, but that’s not why I didn’t like the show, I didn’t like it because the jokes were dry, the “crimes” were childish “Syrup Cartel”, and etc. I watched the first five episodes and couldn’t watch another.
Just finished only season on Netflix. Was hoping I had found something ongoing to look forward to. Good show. Kal Penn should have more jokes and less doughnuts. Funniest part of his character is how snug his shoulder holster squeezes them ponches!
great show. renew!
Battle Creek is an excellent show with great acting and script. But it failed due to poor marketing and time schedule. I never knew the show existed until Netflix aired it. There are too many channels and shows on cable to keep up with. But I definitely think another network or Netflix should pick up this show and continue it for another few more seasons. Too bad! What a mistake to end this show.
Just finished bunging on Battle Creek. Loved it! So sad that it was cancelled.
Battle creek is a great series and should be brought back!!!!! Please bring it back
That show was reallly GOOD, entertaining, Dean and Josh made an excellent pair. I was so looking forward to Russ’ in Season 2! BRING IT BACK!
I loved Battle Creek what a smart and entertaining show. Maybe another day or time would have been more successful? I am really disappointed.
Just watched Battle Creek on Netflix. Loved it! So disappointed when I found there would be no more. Huge mistake to cancel this show.
CBS Big giant mistake!!!! Just found out Battle Creek was cancelled we loved the actors, loved everything about it. Someone do the right thing… Bring it back…please
