CBS has had mixed success with their new crime dramas this season. NCIS: New Orleans has been renewed for a second season while Stalker has been dropped from the schedule and may likely be cancelled. What will happen to Battle Creek? Stay tuned.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: CBS has cancelled the Battle Creek series midway through its first season.
Final season averages: 0.75 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.12 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Battle Creek TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Nooooo!!!! Their chemistry is great. Move it to a new time slot. Who stays up till 10 on a Sunday? We tivo it and watch on Monday. Love their banter. PLEASE DONT CANCEL
Don’t cancel this show, it is something rare, a show with watching. Great character development, good plot lines, amusing and engaging. Why are there like 9 stupid CSI shows and something that surpasses them all in quality gets cancelled? What is wrong with CBS? Give it at least another season…
This show started off with a few episodes that were just too stupid, which was unfortunate, as I believe enough viewers tuned in, but lost interest quickly! For me, I am a fan of Josh Duhamel, so I kept watching! By the fourth episode, they had found their footing! Since that point, each episode has been better than the last!

Agree!!
Best new show out there. So sorry to think it will end. Odd couple stays but Battle Creek ends. Stupid. Makes no sense.
Please reconsider cancelling Battle Creek. Our whole family loves the show..the characters are just starting to fall into their roles and doing it well. All shows take a few episodes to find their groove…this show hasnt been given the time to shine. These characters are playin off each other so well now and we love watching them. Starting mid season and then cancelling so quickly may be a mistake. Please please reconsider!!!
Love Battle Creek. One of the few shows I record so I don’t miss
I love Battle Creek, my sister loves it and my best friend loves it too!
You can’t cancel it…it is soooo funny and warm and clever…
We love this show, the chemistry between all the actors, the writing, subtle humor and acting are what keep us watching every week. Please don’t cancel!!
Oh my! I never thought this show would get cancelled or dropped! We are so enjoying this humorous drama hour of our week! This is me and my husband’s date night show! We love the cast of characters, their personalities and humaness. The show is decent enough that we record it for our middle school aged daughters to watch during the week and they love it! Living in Michigan, we love this little boost it gives to us Michiganders! Please don’t take this show away from us! This family loves it! This show is my favorite and my husband and… Read more »

Please do not cancel this show! Sometimes we need simple entertainment and not blood and gore.
We LOVE Battle Creek! Great actors, great characters, great writing. We laugh more at this show’s subtle humor than we do watching most supposed comedies. Please don’t cancel…give. this brilliant show a chance in a different day/time slot. PLEASE!!
