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?
Once again CBS has a GREAT show and they cancel it. Renew it, that and Stalker. What stupidity to cancel two great shows and we will get what? Another show like “Mom”. Battle Creek had great characters, great storylines with enough out right and subtle humor to keep it interesting but not insult our intelligence.
I agree on both shows! Renew!!!
Renew battle creek!
Love this show. Great characters, plots and relationships. Please renew this
Series! Quality performances!
This series should be continued! It’s a great show, cleverly written with a great balance of wit, humor and crime solving!
EVERYONE needs to take about 15 seconds and sign the petition to keep Battle Creek on the air!!!

One of the smartest shows to appear on TV, great writing, great comedic timing and you are cancelling it ….. yea for ratings over art ….. what a waste.
My husband and I both love this series and can’t believe it is being canceled without giving it more time to gain a following. The writing is good and great chemistry with the main characters. A real shame!
Love this show! Please, please don’t cancel
Really disappointed with this decision…
Dean Winters needs to be on TV!! This show is perfect for him! KEEP BATTLE CREEK ON AIR!!
just found out…..NOOOOO!!! keep battle creek on 🙂
CBS cancelled Blue Bloods after the first season and because viewers begged for it to stay on, they reconsidered. Flash forward about 5 years and it’s a successful show running in a different time slot.
I truly hope that CBS would do the same and reconsider Battle Creek….just might prove to be the winner so many of us already know it is!!!
Please reconsider cancelling this show!
This show was the only show my wife and I liked. Guess we won’t be tuning in to CBS anymore. What a shame to get rid of it!!!
PLEASE DONT CANCEL THIS SHOW, it’s awesome!!!!!
Please keep Battle Creek on air!
