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?
Bring it back just finished it on Netflix and loved it
My husband and I watched season 1 on Netflix and loved it…then found out there was no season 2! Please bring it back!
Just finished watching Battle Creek. Excellent show!
Great show, light and fun! When other police dramas are incredibly violent with heavy foul language and sexual content, it’s nice to have a change that you don’t mind the kiddies watching, not to mention a fantastic set of eye candy for the ladies! I am sorry to see it go.
My husband and I really like the show, why is it being cancelled? Why is it that the good ones are cancelled and the crappy ones aren’t?
Thought it was a great show. Would love to see a second season.
