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?
why cancel it? I had no idea it was on TV, I need the second season please! I want to know what happens to Milt and the whole Russ and Holly thing. Battle Creek is a good show, viewers deserve a second season.
Love the show_didnt even hear about it until it was on netflix
Netflix picking up Battle Creek sounds wonderful to me. I watch Netflix almost exclusively, and have it playing most of my waking hours, believe or not, and I love being able to see the great shows they have brought us so far. I have been a Netflix member from almost the beginning and they just keep getting better. I LOVE NETFLIX.
Just binged watched Battle Creek on Netflix in less than 2 days, after googling to see when season 2 began I learned it has been cancelled what a travisty. Hopefully it finds its way back on the air!!
Great show. I hope someone see’s its potential.
Loved the show. I really hope someone picks it up for a second season.
So disappointed to hear Battle Creek wasn’t renewed but not really surprised. It seems that most of the good shows get cancelled while the stupid mindless so called comedies go on & on. If it didn’t get the ratings, it sure wasn’t because of the acting or writing, which was very good. Was it ever advertised? We never heard of it until we saw it on Netflix.
Wonder show! Well acted and written. Sorry to see such a quality series cancelled. Saw it first on Netflix. Hope someone will pick it up.
I watched season 1 on Netflix. Great show.
Very tough to have it aired on Sunday nights… Stiff competition against TWD. That show kills alot of potential programs.
Netflix needs to pick and back up season 2.
Netflix should pick it up
I love the show please continue with season 2
I loved each and every episode. The casting was great and I had no complaints at all. I think they should bring it back. I enjoyed all the story lines.
PLEASE BRING BATTLE CREEK BACK I LOVE THE SHOW.
I just watched the series on Netflix and really enjoyed it. I then searched the Internet to see if another season is coming. I was disappointed to see that no new season is coming. Too bad!
Enjoyed the humor. The twists and quirks of the characters made it enjoyable. The crime drama was not heavy but enjoyable and written well. Sorry it was cancelled. I would also hope that Netflix would pickup this series
