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?
My husband and I love this show. It has become one of our new favorites that we don’t miss. Love Milt and Russ and the rest of the cast…excellent! My daughter’s whole household loves it too and never misses it. Don’t cancel!!!!
My husband and I love this show. It has become one of our favorites – one that we always dvr so we never miss an episode. It’s a favorite in my daughter’s household as well. Love Josh and Milt and like seeing their relationship progress. Love the whole cast too. If this is cancelled, CBS is way off the mark!!!
my whole fam bam lives battle creek!! Don’t cancel it… We love it!!
Cheers was nearly canceled because their initial ratings were low but the network decided to keep it on a little longer and it became a mega-hit. Battle Creek continues to improve and should be given a fighting chance to survive. Bring it back in the Fall. Please!
Love, Love, Love Battle Creek. Please don’t cancel.
This show has a lot of potential and I can’t believe Vince Gilligan hasn’t started cooking things up…you can see things starting to pop. Dean Winters’ and Josh Brolin’s characters have had so little time to develop. Not to mention the absolute poor timing of positioning it this season in compet ition with football and awards seasons, plus Mad Men’s final season and even Better Call Saul. Way to pretty much guarantee failure, CBS. Surprised the Good Wife could hold on for all the jerking around for years but look at it now. Please give them a healthier slot and… Read more »
Uh, that’s Josh Duhamel, married to Fergie – not Josh Brolin!
Please please don’t cancel Battle Creek. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.
This is the best new show. Please don’t cancel it!
Great characters and story lines
We think that Battle Creek is one of the better shows on CBS. It has interesting story lines, engaging actors and a good mix of comedy/drama, so naturally it would be canceled.
Maybe if the writers had followed the norm for other CBS shows and used the terms ****** and ***** in every other sentence it would have been renewed.
I only hope another station will pick up the show.
My whole family really likes this show! CBS should renew it!! There are plenty of shows out there that should be cancelled before Battle Creek.
My family does, too. And I agree. SO many other shows should/could go before considering this one.
I absolutely love this show!!! It may have started out a little slow but got better as the season moved on!! Love Dean and Josh together 🙂 Please give them a chance to shine!!! ♡♡♡
Agree 100%
No, no, no.
Love the show! Don’t cancel.
This is one of favorites! What are you thinking in canceling while you keep others less worthy on the air? Please renew
Dean and Josh, need we say more.
I’ve enjoyed watching Battle Creek. The characters and relationships are growing and thats what I like to see. CBS please keep this show going.
