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.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
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?
We love Battle Creek. Witty, well-written and acted. One of the best. Please don’t cancel!
Just when the characters were starting to grow you go and cancel this great show? Try adding a little nurturing and this garden could blossom.Good TV is getting so rare. Please don’t cancel.
Please do not cancel this show! Love it. Anything with Josh Duhamel will succeed. Love the wit, the tension between FBI and local. Good storyline and concept.
Please reconsider.
I hardly watch any current TV shows. Battle Creek is the exception. It is way too good to be cancelled. Save this show!
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek. It’s good and will get better with more time. I like it a lot.
Please I think ratings for Battle Creek would be alot better if it were on in the winter time when more people are at home watching tv. Right now people are outside doing yard work and stuff because our winter wasn’t bad and are able to get outside quicker this year. Please do not cancell Battle Creek, we hardly had a chance to watch it.
Please don’t cancel battle creek. It’s just getting good. We are just learning what makes the characters tick.

Oh no! Give it more of a chance please!!! We really like it 🙁
If it was not watched by viewers enough, then maybe a little change like Agnew not being so whiney every episode. He and his attitude has gotten old already but we still love the rest and the characters!!! Try a change, don’t cancel!!!’ Pleeeeease!
This is my new favorite! I love the show! Funny dialogue, interesting characters, especially the cynical Russ Agnew. Don’t Cancel, CBS!!!
Don’t cancel. I really like Battle Creek. Try a new timeslot. How do you get the ratings? I have never been asked nor has anyone else I know!
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek!! We love this show!!!
I really love watching Battle Creek. Please bring it back
I love Battle Creek. I first saw it on Amazon Prime so I thought it was one of their wonderful shows that they have been making for streaming like Bosch. I was surprised when I found it on CBS. I absolutely love Dean Winters and Josh Duhamel. What a good combination of chemistry and talent. This is becoming my favorite TV show. Please do not cancel. I can’t wait to see what happens next

BATTLE CREEK..I enjoy immensely ..mature, realistic, refreshing,..lacks graphic language and violence..A+..!!, a family show, and family theme highlights.
