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 watched Battle Creek on netflix and was disappointed to read it was cancelled. I can name way more shows that needed to be cancelled 🙁 it’s a great show with a good story line and great actors. Please reconsider giving it another chance!
It should have been renewed. It was a good show it just took a little while to get started
I think season 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 Would be Great so that is a yes for S 2
I discovered tha show just the other day and I thought it was very good and certainly worthy of several more seasons. Too bad.
It is very disappointing when clever, unique plots and characters are not given the chance to develop. Especially when the back stories are so well launched and get you engaged, then you are left hanging. USA is the best network for picking up great shows… give BattleCreek the right venue.
So disappointed that we are NOT having a Second Season!!!
So disappointed to learn that “Battle Creek” was cancelled. I thought the cast and the writing were terrific. I certainly hope someone else will pick up this show. It’s too good to lose after just one season.
Loved battle creek. Please bring back
I can’t believe they cancelled this show! We watched the first season on Netflix and got attached to all the characters only to find that there will be no second season. So disappointing… Let’s start a petition to bring back battle creek!!! Who’s with me?!
Really enjoyed this show, should not have been cancelled and definetly should be picked up by someone else!
I would really like to know how these companies determine the ratings! The shows I like usually have the lowest ratings and the garbage they call “reality” tv that in truth has nothing to do with the reality of life, get the highest ratings
Battle Creek is one of the best shows on TV. The best ones are always cancelled
Love this show! Great writing! Excellent cast! Hope another network has the balls to pick it up! CBS is a joke for letting go?
We just discovered Battle Creek and binge watched the whole season, and loved it! We’re so disappointed that it’s been cancelled! The network really needs to give shows more time to find an audience. These days so many people binge watch shows and may not discover a show immediately.
Battle Creek was especially smart, funny and engaging.
Same here Totally agree!! Bring back battle creek!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do they always have to cancel the awesome shows?!! Going to miss Battle Creek big time
