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.

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?
Love the show esp. The chemistry between Josh and Dean. Great writing too. I look forward to each week.
Please don’t cancel. We just found this. Awesome show….love the variety of actors.
The reviews seem to be good, viewers enjoy the show, so you can bet your butt the network will cancel this series. The shows we don’t like are kept on the air, the shows that are watchable are always cancelled. I don’t know who keeps track of viewership, but they need a new system!
I love this show. It has so many possibilities. I look forward to it every week — please renew!!!
Really enjoy the show
Those two guys make a great combination for a good show that should not be canceled.
I definitely think battle Creek should be renewed! Please keep it on the air.
Battle Creek should be renewed!! It’s a refreshing change from the other current blood & gore TV cop shows.
Yes Yes Yes renew it. Maybe change nights. On Sunday every program over extends and therefore when I record it I miss at least half or more of the show! The same thing happened when The Mentalist was moved to Sunday night.
I agree it’s very aggravating.
Battle Creek is too vanilla. I won’t miss it as I can’t get into it.
I like the dialogue, the interaction, and the action between the two guys on Battle Creek.. IMHO
The syrup storyline was as slow as molasses…. The latest episodes have been fun and intriguing. I would really like this show to continue. Television needs action comedies.
I like the dialogue, the interaction, and the action between the two guys on Battle Creek. I noticed the highest numbers were on the second episode, which was also the dullest. IMHO
This shows word-of-mouth was good after first episode, but the syrup storyline was as slow as molasses…. so third week dropped even lower. The latest episodes have been fun and intriguing. I would really like this show to continue. Television needs action comedies.
This is a terrific series. I really hope you renew it and run it at a better time slot.
I definitely think Battle Creek should be renewed! I enjoy the light odd couple detective style compared to the stone faced style of Hawaii 5-o or the same stone faced, now boring csi franchise. Please keep Battle Creek going.
Please renew! I think the yet is best to come.
