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?
Absolutely loved this show. I’m hoping that some other channel (like Netflix) will pick this up for a second season. It has been done on several shows that I’ve watched before, that were axed too soon.
Loved the show, the humor, and the great cast! So sad to see it cancelled.
I absolutely loved this show.I’ve been waiting ages for the second season.Just cant believe it got low ratings,will keep my fingers crossed for someone to pick it up and bring it back,especially when theres so much rubbish on tv..this was a great show.***
I loved the show and am so disappointed there is to be no 2nd series
I thinks it’s a really good show and should have a second season
Loved this show! The characters were all funny, well rounded, smart and interesting. I can’t imagine why it got low ratings. I hope it gets picked up again!
Man this show is great! must be something wrong with the low rating. hope that CBS will reconsider their decision.
Love this show! Wish CBS would not cancel. Please reconsider. We have watched every episode and will continue to watch if renewed. Tom
Just watched it on Netflix and loved it, never even heard of it when it was on TV. Hope Netflix or Hulu picks it up and we get a season 2
Loved it!!!! Should have been renewed!!!!
Loved It! My husband and I enjoyed watching to see how the teamwork would develop and what exactly was ahead in the friendships of co-workers becoming family in trust and having each other’s back. Would love to see a second season. Thank You for the first!
I love this show. Please sell it to Netflix if you don’t want it.
Saw it in original form, then watched again on NETFLIX! Love BATTLE CREEK! Acting exceptional! Story lines great! PLEASE GET IT BACK TOGETHER LIKE YOU DID LONGMIRE!
Wow:( This seriously is a great show!! Great acting!….Actors and Actresses… plot lines…Charactor development. It was a real attempt at staging a sincere Midwestern town and good police drama. I have no clue why this show was cancelled. CBS really needs to give this show another chance. I don’t know what shows it was up against on Sunday nor do I care however this is really a good attempt at good TV. And It was canned? Love Battle Creek!!! CBS reconsider. You are letting a good thing slip away. Sad.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed that this show was cancelled. I discovered it on Netflix, after my favorite show ended, and THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SHOW.
