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.

I love this show!!!! Please don’t take it off. It’s a comedy/drama that we need!
One of the best shows on. How many NCIS shows can they have? Battle creek is refreshing and real. Please please let us have one show on CBS that is entertaining with great acting!
My husband and I have been watching the shoe since the first episode and are hooked. We enjoy the characters’ banter and that they feel ‘real’. We would love to see Battle Creek renewed.
PLEASE do not cancel Battle Creek. I love the characters and it is a great show.
CBS, please don’t cancel Battle Creek, it is one of few shows on T.V. that I really like. I love watching Dean Winters and Josh Duhamel, this show is funny and has drama at the same time. My favorite show on T.V. is NCIS, Blue Bloods, And Battle Creek. I do watch other programs but these are my three favs. Please don’t cancel!!!!!!!!!

Do not cancel Battle Creek! Please! This is a smart, so so funny, love the entire cast show. I can’t believe some of the awful, mindless shows that stay on the air. Here comes a really well written show and you cancel it? There must be something wrong with your ratings, seriously!
My family LOVES Battle Creek. The casting of all of the characters -excellent. The weekly dialog between “Russ” and “Milt” is so entertaining. The show is my favorite show on TV this spring and so unique an entertaining! Please d NOT cancel this show.

DO NOT CANCEL Battle Creek… that is the height of stupidity! It is the only new show on CBS worth watching… at least, for those of us who embrace education and eschew demons, vampires and zombies. Hopefully, someone at Netflix or Amazon will have the sense to keep the show running. And, FYI: screw the “19-49 demographic.” I did a stint (yuck!) in advertising before I graduated law school and SPOILER ALERT: numbers can and will be manipulated!
