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?
Great show, as a firefighter, cop shows aren’t my favorite. However, I really enjoyed the first season and was extremely disappointed when I read online that it was cancelled. As some have pointed out, there are plenty of series out there that did not need multiple seasons. Netflix, this would be a great opportunity to pick up where CBS stopped and make Battle Creek into a great series. Again, great show and amazing acting, felt like I was right there with them.
Figures. I finally find a quality show amid the sea of trash on TV and it gets cancelled. Cable cancelled; c’mon Netflix, pick it up!
Battle Creek is great! Please bring it back, it has a world-wide audience not only American!
Once again, a wonderful show is cancelled…Please bring it back..
I loved this show ! It didn’t have enough time for people to find it. So we just ignore the huge cliff hanger it left us with. Bummed !!!
Can’t believe this isn’t renewed for a second season… Damn! My fiancée and I love this show.
This was an amazing show. The actors were well casted and looked like the had fun. The acting also looked realistic. I love the town too. The idea of a small town makes the tv show a little more simpler then other shows. Please please please air it again on Netflix. I loved this tv show!
This show was awesome and should make a lot more seasons. I watch the whole season on Netflix in 3 days and I want more…. CBS may have not know what they had when canceling this tv show but Netflix should definitely countinue with more seasons.
We loved this show. So sorry it wasn’t continued. Great writing and excellent acting!!
Definitely should be renewed for season two or more. Started watching it on Netflix and an absolutely amazing show funny good storyline. Nothing but good things to say about it.
Yes. CBS made a mistake. But I guess it’s par for the course for big network television. Netflix should renew the show just like they did for Longmire.
Have been enjoying watching Battle Creek on Netflix with my husband. The development of relationships, good police cases with variety. Would love to see it put back on with all the bad choices to watch I am glad to have found shows like Battle Creek on Netflix instead of some of the shows on TV.
I wonder why shows with sexand vulgar language get 10 seasons. But battle creek gets only 1. It was a great show, it was very funny and well written, the story line was amazing. I would like to know where you are getting these ratings from. Maybe we should have a rating system on the rating system! Very sad and disappointed
Battle Creek is amazing! Why would you cancel it? Someone else better have the balls to pick up the show and get it on its feet again. Who cancels something with Dean Winters or Josh Duhamel in it?
Battle Creek was under advertised that’s why the ratings weren’t as high as they should be. That was one of the best shows I have seen witty, well written and acted. Those actors were robbed. wish Netflix or Hulu would pick it up and it would just be the networks loss…
