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?
It took me a couple of episodes, but I love this show! Please take a chance with another season!
A terrific series worthy of renewal. Too many reality (crap) shows are renewed. Give this show a chance to get off the ground for a second season. Well acted, great characters.
I love this show….we need some new blood.
Please reconsider renewing this show. It needs a second chance to prove its a winner. It got better with each episode as the bond between Milt and Russ grew. The characters are interesting and the storylines can be extensive. To me its a no-brainer.
Love this show Everything good seems to always be cancelled no wonder we stick to PBS and BBC
I love this show. WHY do 19 – 49 yr olds get to decide? I bet there are more 50+ viewers who have really enjoyed this change of pace series. I really hope you change your mind and renew the show.
Renew. I really enjoyed this show. Also liked the Stalker but hated NCIS New Orleans. Go figure!
Battle Creek is definitely worth another season. We really enjoyed it and there it goes. Please reconsider.
One word RENEW
Can NCIS: New Orleans instead. Battle Creek is far superior!
I’ve enjoyed every episode of this show; it would be great to see the characters evolve over time; but of course CBS cancels the show.
Can you give this one some more time, please. It’s a great show.
Renew!!
Really enjoy Battle Creek! It’s what TV is meant to be. Good acting, actors compliment one another, entertaining . Please renew! Latest rating was low because of being Memorial weekend holiday.

The network needs to reconsider and RENEW the series!!!!!
It is well written, unique, with a good supporting cast of characters.
It is a lot better than many of the mindless shows that is out there now.
PLEASE RENEW!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe Battle Creek was canceled it was one of my favorite shows. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT. CBS HAS TOO MANY CRAPPIE SHOWS, GIVE US AT LEAST BATTLE CREEK & THE NCIS’S & CRIMINAL MINDS & CSI’S & A FEW OTHERS. PLEASE
