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?
I liked the show. Refreshing corny detective series. No so serious.
I’m so sick of the good shows being cancelled, TV people make me sick with they need for ratings. 🙁
bring it back!! Loved all the characters and the story lines!! I don’t watch a lot of TV but I loved this show. Please somebody pick it up!!!
This show is amazing!!!! Bring it back!!!!

Loved it Loved it Loved it. Please Netflix take it over as anal and he awesome show
I agree with the other viewers. This is a great show! It’s well written and acted! I didn’t even know it was a network show. I just found it on Netflix and loved it. Of course it’s cancelled! The network should bring it back and give it more time to find its audience. There is one out there-they just need to know it’s on.
Had I known about this show is totally would have watched it. I was recommending this show to friends when I found it on Netflix, that is until now. If it’s cancelled it’s really just unsatisfying, need more.
5 stars if it’s continued.
I liked it myself
It seems to me that this is a fail on the network’s part to attract viewers rather than a poor job by the show’s writers and actors. This show is excellent (better than many shows w/ more than one season) and it is highly rated on Netflix. Someone else should pick it up if CBS can’t make it work. What a shame!
Great show! Disappointing that it is cancelled.
We loved this show. Can’t believe it’s not coming back. Loved the witty comments while trying to solve crime.
I loved that show. Being that I live very close to Battle Creek it was very entertaining. If it were on a different night the ratings would be much better. Please bring it back
This show is excellent! The characters are relatable. It is situated in a town not a big metropolitan area. How nice that is for most of the country’s citizens! My daughter and I didn’t even know it was on CBS (one of the few channels we do have). So disappointing to find out it was cancelled with only 13 episodes. There are so many shows about murder, murder, gruesome murder, and twisted psychopaths that my family doesn’t turn on the TV much. It has been so refreshing to watch a cop show with so many feel good moments and likable… Read more »
Battle Creek offers its audience humor, compassion, good story lines and a cast of characters that are fun to watch.
There are few programs that offer viewers so much.
