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?
This show is great and very entertaining. I believe if it is renewed, it would pick up ratings, and an earlier time slot. Please reconsider.
This is a great show! It just started! You didn’t even give it a chance to grow & gain a following. It’s difficult for a show to make it big mid season. I love Josh Duhmel & Dean Winters & think this is a great show. I can’t believe the shows that get cancelled & the ones that stay on sometimes (smh).
Oh, my, it is so clever and entertaining. Tongue in check, I hope they change their mind.
Why cancel this show? Give it a chance. It’s fresh, and grows on you. Great characters. Cmon CBS, you can find a way to make this work. We love watching it. Better than many of its genre.
Please do not cancel this show!!!! Love it!!!!!!!! Unique and good!
One of the few shows left on tv with good writing and three dimensional characters and great acting. Why do they want to cancel it.
Give it another chance. It is a nice, basically nonviolent show. Maybe a different time slot. Another season would give more time to develop the characters. With all the stupid reality crap shows on, why cancel a show that has a lot of potential. Plus, the actors are really likable.
Please don’t cancel! The chemistry between the main characters is great. I love the show.
Love it..please don’t cancel!!!
Battle Creek is a great show! Good acting and storylines, hunky guys, possible romance, funny…I could go on and on. Instead of putting it in the killer time slot of Sun. night at 10, try putting it on right after NCIS and see what happens. It’s way better than NCIS New Orleans that’s currently in that spot!
Continue with battle creek. Their relationship makes the show.
I luv battle creek. Pls dont cancel. Give it a chance!

Please do not cancel Battle Creek. It is a good show. I like the back and forth between Winters and Duhamel. Give the show a chance.
