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
They have got to add season 2 of Battle Creek on Netflix!!! Netflix has just got to pick it up like they did on the series the killing!!!! I LOVE Battle Creek AS does everyone I know!!!!
I desperate to watch season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who ever at CBS cancelled this tv show Battle Creek is truly a DUMBASS !@?@! So this goes out too NETFLIX you ROCK for putting Battle Creek back on TV that show is AWSOME.
Cant believe that Battle Creek got cancelled, I love this show. Thank god that Netflix has season one of it. I couldn’t stop watching it. It was a Awsome tv show. It was so funny at times and serious at times. Great actors in it. CBS fucked up by canceling Battle Creek, cause the star actor went and got huge in the big screen on Transformers, sucks the the dumbass big wigs of CBS dont know what real tv shows are. Battle Creek would of been up there with Cheer reruns
Unbelievable that this great show was cancelled. Great scripts, terrific character development, funny — moving. Shame on CBS for not supporting such quality television.
I have been watching Battle Creek on Netflix and this is a really good show. I saw that there were only 13 episodes and then that the show was cancelled. How disappointing! I hope that Netflix, or Hulu, or some other network will pick up the show. I agree with others that stupid reality shows are left on the air while good, solid shows are let go.
My wife and I watched the last episode of Season 1 last night, so I went online to find out when Season 2 would be available, only to find out that the show has been canceled. UNBELIEVABLE!!! This show is well-written, funny, touching, intelligent (undoubtedly its downfall) and well-acted with good character development.
Then dumb “reality” shows (apparently from some alternate universe) remain on the air. IT’S CRIMINAL… and so sad that this reflects what people want to watch.
Great show! Wish they were bringing it back.
I just watched the entire season on Netflix. It is a wonderful show with realistic and moving characterization and interesting plots. I’m very disappointed that there is no more Russ and Milt to see. How can the awful reality shows keep getting renewed, when shows of this caliber are canceled? I guess it’s the same reason that Trump is a front runner in the presidential race.
Really not happy to find out this was cancelled. We found this on Netflix and was excited to see when it would air again. I found this and was very disappointed after seeing the last episode. Why do they always cancel the good one? This happened with The Finder as well. I guess it didn’t have enough sexual content.
I really enjoyed the show I think it is a shame that you guys canceled the show it was clean cut no bad language no nudity nice family so where everybody can watch it was funny I think you should renew this or maybe Netflix should pick it up
I really thought this was a good show I think it was a shame that you cancel the show it was clean cut no nudity and foul language which was a pleasant to watch for once
I love the show and I am disappointed there won’t be a second season.
It’s refreshing to watch a TV show without bad language and ‘filler’ sex scenes! I can’t believe it, there is finally a series’s I love; CANCELLED – wouldn’t you know!!!!
