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?
Such a great show! Give it a chance!!!
Love Battle Creek!!! Best show on tv. Please don’t cancel.
You’re gonna cancel “Mayhem” from Primetime?! SERIOUSLY?! What is wrong with you people? It’s one of the few really good shows on TV. Bring it back!
Do not cancel PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…..WHAT A GREATLY ENTERTAINING SHOW AND CAST!!!!!
love battle creek–don’t cancel it!!!
We totally enjoy this show each Sunday night.
It is fun and quirky and we really like the characters.
Dean Winters and Josh Duhamal are great together. I have adored Josh since he was on All My Children but Dean Winters is some hunk also and great to look at.
Please give them another season and see if their viewership can grow.
Also, I know you love the demographics of 18-49 but there is a large contingency out there beyond the age of 49 who really get this show!!!!
This show is too hot to cancel!! Get rid of Survivor if you want to get rid of something.
Don’t’ cancel!! Give it a chance to develop a following. The episodes are getting more interesting and the characters are evolving.
I just loved this show right from the start. CBS, why don’t you give shows a little longer for people to find new shows? Battle Creek is funny and edgy and just a great show to watch.
Please change your mind and keep it on a little longer. PLEASE!!
I know this probablymake a difference, but they have held the brakes on to long on this series. Allsates chaos boyneeds room to rumble. Keep itgoing and crank it up.
One of the best shows on TV. It would be a shame to cance a show that is entertaining without being violent, sexually explicit and have vulgar language. Save this show for those of us who enjoy true entertainment.
love BattleCreek. Never miss episode ever.
BattleCreek best ever on TV. I am so tired
all good show get cancelled. BattleCreek
is awesome and amazing show on CBS
At a loss how CBS decides to cancel a show that is fresh, unique, and interesting, without trying a new timeslot. Why not run some focus groups on those of us who love the show (and hate some of the crap CBS renews) and figure out how to market good tv, with good writing and acting, to improve ratings. So disappointed in CBS. Very shortsighted to cancel a show with such promise.
New favorite show, and now I find out it’s being cancelled! Please give it another chance. It’s a good family show!
You must be kidding. Battle Creek is an outstanding show. It’s refreshing – great casting, great story lines – I think it’s a mistake to cancel it and I will personally miss it if the network doesn’t reverse this bad decision.
PLEASE RECONSIDER.
PLEASE DONT CANCEL! This show grows on you with each episode! Wonderful characters!! It’s become our favorite shows. It’s a winner!!! Do some more promoting.
Can’t believe they would cancel this and leave 2 Broke Girls on. This is a really good show. My family and I really enjoy it.
