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?
One of my favorite shows. It deserves another chance.
It’s disheartening when a new show comes along, the networks only give it a couple of weeks before electing to cancel it. This is one of the best shows we have watched in years and is one of the few that both men and women alike can enjoy together. Get rid of one of the moronic reality shows that you air incessantly and find room for this one. It’s a keeper!
Great, great entertainment. I am really sorry it has been cancelled. I hope it will be back by popular demand.
Battle Creek has such good scripts and I like all the characters. Holly and the M.E add such a classy element. The Commander is believable and wasn’t over involved. The dynamic between Russ and Milt is so growing on me. Please please keep the show, move the time slot. Hard to expose such a fun show when it’s late on Sunday. I did DVR all of the episodes and replayed every one. Each one was exciting and funny. I loved the guest appearances, especially Candace Bergen. Best Episode for sure. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT And when Russ and… Read more »
This is a funny quirky show that we really enjoy watching the character development. Give it another chance, “Mr.Mayhem” is a great character and balanced old school with hi-tech!!!
Please change your mind and renew this show!

Love this show! Please don’t cancel.
Hope CBS reconsiders We love this show.
My whole family loves this show! Please make more!
My husband and I so enjoy Battle Creek. It is entertaining and numerous. But of course if you are older than the demographics of 18-49 I guess our opinion does not count. There are no sexy young thing strutting around in high heels and a tight skirt which is so appropriate for the job. Please keep on the air!!
Ditto!! One of the few TV programs my wife and I both enjoy watching together, but being older than the 18-49 demographic, I guess our opinions are not being heard. We just love Dean Winters on the show. And if CBS would sell commercial spots to Allstate car insurance in between scenes that feature the “Mayhem” guy, we wouldn’t even skip the commercials!! Good writing, good acting, unique plots and spin – Bring back Battle Creek!!
Really????? Canceling such a good show???? Quirky, funny, good writing and great characters. Please bring it back!!!!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL BATTLE CREEK!!! I love this show! It’s the only show I dvr on Sunday nights. Finally get a good detective show that has, a cast with great chemistry, unpredictable story lines, and a love story that makes my heart flutter, and you won’t even give it a chance???
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek. It is truly enjoyable. Great cast – very diverse.
