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?
Battle Creek is one of the best show on TV. I am tired of all the grisly cop show on TV. Battle Creek is such breath of fresh air. The cast is incredible and the chemistry between Milt and Russ is great. Not to mention Russ and Holly.
Please don’t cancel.
Please don’t cancel BATTLE CREEK..Its awesome show!!! PLEASE¡!!!!!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek!!!!!! I really enjoy this show. The characters are great! I enjoy the lack of massive destruction & death. It’s good, clean, decent television, so please keep it on!!!!!
PLEASE!! Don’t cancel… Excellent cast, chemistry , plots, with humor and drama. Look toward to watching every week. I agree why do some horrible shows continue while excellent ones like this one don’t? Get a clue!!!!
Renew, please!
Please renew Battle Creek!! It’s one of my favorite shows and keeps getting better with each episode. Detective Russ and Special Agent Milt’s characters are hilarious and the two actors play off each other so well. And the rest of the cast make it one of my favorite shows..so please don’t cancel.
Renew BC for another season, it is a great show, good writing, and clean fun entertainment. Not to mention it is actually a good reflection of the actual piece of s… town BC is. How about putting it on a better time slot. This show is so much better than all of those other “reality” shows. Give me a break, at least BC has actual actors playing a part and not a bunch of “want to be reality stunts”.
Please let some other network pick up this wonderful show. I understand about ratings but I don’t think this show started off strong enough in the first episodes. It took awhile to develop and understand the characters. It is a great cast and the show is one that has staying power and growth if given a fair chance.
CBS, are you so short-sighted as to allow ratings over the very short term (what, less than three months??) to cause you to cancel Battlecreek just when it’s beginning to find its feet? It’s a very good program with a wonderful cast. Dean Winters is on the brink of becoming a major (sexy) television star (not to mention his partner), and the writing gets better & better with each episode. In addition, with Battlecreek, CBS has an unbeatable Sunday evening lineup from 60 Minutes to Madam Secretary and Good Wife. ARE YOU CRAZY??? Whoever made the decision to cancel Battlecreek… Read more »
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Do not cancel Battle Creek. My husband and I have very few shows we watch and this is one of them. Please don’t cancel it! It’s a good show.
Please renew Battle Creek. It is a very good show and has not been given a fair chance, let alone the horrible time slot. I find it getting better with ever episode and just love the story plots and characters. It is also very funny and serious at the same time. A GREAT show too good to cancel. CBS please listen to the fans.
CBS has cancelled the show and announced their 2015/16 season already. Please sign the petition and help create a buzz so that another Network will want to pick it up!!! We’re almost at 1,500 signatures! https://www.change.org/p/cbs-savebattlecreek
The show is fantastic, with a great cast! Why do the great ones get cancelled & the crap doesn’t. The time slot hurt this one- bring it back!!!!’
Please keep this show!!!! It’s in a terrible time slot which doesn’t help, but the content, story line and characters are excellent!
Disappointed they cancelled this show. Much stronger cast and story line than some of
the shows networks are keeping. The 2015-2016 new season lineup looks lackluster.
I agree….what were you thinking when you cancelled??????
Please rethink the cancellation of Battle Creek. Give it a second chance. Very interesting plot lines with a tremendous cast.
