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?
This is a unique show with a great cast and terrific writing. Why on earth would you cancel it? It’s subtlety was its gift. We need more smart shows!
Please keep this show and Stalker, I love them both
Keep the show! Love it
Please renew BATTLE CREEK! I hope someone out there is listening. Thank you
We need to do whatever it takes to keep Battle Creek alive. When the going gets tough, the tough get going! Who will lay out a plan for us to make it happen??
AGREED!!! I wish there was something we could do!!!
I am so sick of CBS canceling any series that has any substance…..they learned nothing from the Cagney & Lacey debacle….
This is one of the cleverest, best written series on TV. To remove it to make way for
another brainless sitcom seems ludicrous. Must you always underestimate your audience’s
intelligence?
Well written. Please don’t cancel. This show has so many ways to go!!! Come on… Do not cancel
Renew Battle Creek
I am so sad and mad this series is canceled. It was a great show. You are making a mistake. I felt like crying when I found out last night was the last show.
I can’t believe this show is cancelled. The main characters have chemistry and it is different enough that it isn’t just one more cop show. This just crazy!
I really liked this show. Saw every episode. Love the dynamic between the characters.
Please, please don’t cancel. We love this show. We even set dvr to record for an hour and a half to make sure we get it all.
I love this show! I sure wish they would reconsider canceling it!
Really wish CBS would renew Battle Creek. It’s a quality production all around and deserves another year to find a bigger audience. So much crap on the broadcast networks. Give the good ones a chance!
My wife and I love this show and the actors. It’s a GREAT family show. Drama and comedy mixed really well. Please give them a second chance. Maybe put the show on earlier.
Keep it
