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?
I love this show and can’t believe it has been cancelled.
I feel like I’m batting zero! Two shows this season that I’ve watched every episode and really enjoy – Stalker and Battle Creek. CBS decides to cancel both of them. I’m getting tired of watching CBS since they seem to cancel every new show before they give them enough time to really catch on. Give us loyal fans a break and keep on the shows that we are telling you we like. How many CSI’s and NCIS shows do we really need to have??
Love Battle Creek! My husband and I watch every Sunday. Love the characters and the scripts! So disappointed it’s being cancelled!
I agree with some of the other viewers that the first couple of shows weren’t that hot…but the show has been gaining momentum….the characters are being developed more. I really like the show right now 05/24/2015. This is a show that has a chance to take the place of The Mentalist. And it’s on the Sunday night timeframe…I only watch CBS shows…every day…but my girlfriend and I don’t like watching all the other EXTRA shows on Sunday night….shows like Country Music Awards, and any other Hollywood type shows. If you put NCIS: New Orleans on Sunday night without NCIS in… Read more »
I love Battle Creek. I’m so tired of reality shows staying on for years but good shows get canceled.
The final episode just aired. Was it cancelled? If so, we have no idea if Milt lived or not. How ridiculous!
We loved this show. It was well balanced between comedy and drama.
I like it. It’s unique and quirky for detective show. Two leads are entertaining and interesting
CBS CANCELLING BATTLE CREEK…hello…? Vince Gilligan…ever hear of Breaking Bad? Make some more bad decisions, and continue to watch your loyal viewership decline. Not everyone has cable, but those of us who have antenna can always watch the “other” networks!
Why have you canceled yet Another Great Show?? We LOVE Battle Creek!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE … DO NOT CANCEL THIS SERIES … IT’S ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV !!!
I have enjoyed this show so much and I was really upset when I read that I was watching the series finale tonight. Give it another chance. This is the best show because it’s so different than any of the other detective series. Dean Winters charachter is a delight. Please reconsider. The show gets better every week.
Bring it back. I love the twists and turns throughout each episode. It’s a great show and different from all the other “cops and robbers” shows. Bring it back.
Thanks.
I love Battle Creek. Give it a chance.
Finally, a show with humor and heart that had some interesting characters to explore. Too bad the network gave up so easily and did not give it a chance to get some “legs”.
