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?
This was such a great show. We really got into and are extremely disappointed that there will not be a season 2.
Awww. I’m watching Battle Creek right now on Netflix, and I really like it! I was looking to see if there were going to be more episodes, but I guess there’s not; I can’t believe it’s cancelled. It deserves more seasons! =(
I loved this show! I started watching the series on Netflix and couldn’t stop! It makes you laugh, is not a gruesome detailed detective show and yet leaves you anxious for the next episode. Sad to see it go!!!!!
What a shame! Great show. Really different – really smart and really funny.
Devastated. I loved this show. Networks suck
They chose Crap Scene Investigation Cyber, rather than this show. To me thats insane, like we don’t got enoug of those shows…
Definitely renew. Creative, complimentary ensemble cast. Give it a chance! I don’t have regular TV, just Netflix. I live in the country. I just found this show. I have completed the first two episodes. There is so much to work with. Will we find out what happened to get Milt sent to Battle Creek? Where is his family? Where is both of the key stars’ history? Bring it back. Now I am reading the reviews and they are consistent. We all want more of this program. And everyone says it just gets better. I am so looking forward to seeing… Read more »

Didn’t realize Battle Creek was on TV – Just finished watching it on Netflix. OMGOSH – we loved it and are devastated that there is no season 2. Please bring it back. Loved every single character in the show. Russ and Milt were great as cop partners. LOVE BATTLE CREEK
Can’t believe canceled great show found on Netflix please bring it back
Like others found this show on Netflix, watched them all- so bummed to find out it’s cancelled. The last few episodes were really really good…
Right now there isn’t a better show on tv. I love dean winters character! I love the humor of the show!! Bring it back please. I want to find out how Russ and holly’s romance goes and if milt has a girlfriend and so much more.
I just finished watching it and I lllllllloved it please bring it back.
Great show! I didn’t know it was playing on TV I watched it on Netflix and it’s the best. Please if you will not play season 2 at least make it a Netflix original so we can all continue to enjoy it!
Just watched all of season 1 in two days on netflix cause it was tht good. Then I found out tht there will be no season 2. Bring it back, I bet more now know of it cause of netflix and they are like myself and loved it and they will be waiting for the 2nd season to start.
I found it on Netflix as well! It’s how I find all my shows, on Netflix first then move to tv to watch following seasons. I think the networks need to check with streaming websites to see their ratings for show, more then just how many watch them on tv channels. I think they would get a better view of the popularity of a show that way.
