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.

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?
One of our favorites. Hate to see it cancelled. So few good shows to watch.
I love Battle creek. It grew on me every week. I can’t believe CBS doesn’t see the quality here.
I love battle creek. Bring it back!
Love Battle creek. Can’t believe you are canceling it.
This show got better and better. Unique, great cast, strong writing, and steady development of the characters. TV is full of junk shows, yet this was canceled. BRING IT BACK! Move it around to find the right viewing audience.
Renew Battle Creek
Amazing show should be renewed.
Do NOT cancel Battle Creek! We LOVE that show. I admit it took us a couple of episodes to get into it but it is GREAT!
Please keep it on the air!!!!!!!!
I NEVER have written to keep a show and am kind embarrassed because if you don’t make your feelings known, how do these producers know? Please do not cancel Battleck. We need these quirky shows, not another reality sham.
renew Battle Creek! This is one of my favorite shows;you’ve got to renew it I just started my sister on it and she loves it too.
It is unfortunate that such an entertaining show with such clever and easily identifiable characters has been cancelled. A quality and funny show is cancelled and so many mundane shows remain – bring it back on!
Please renew Battle Creek!
Just watched finale of Battle Creek. Can’t believe it’s cancelled. It’s fun and heartwarming. So what?…it doesn’t get the big time of NCIS. Maybe if CBS had put BC in a time slot that wasn’t always messed up by extended sports and the idiot show Good Wife where they’ve spent unwarrented gazillions … oh well. Who cares about us, the viewers? Gee whiz CBS; is that the smell of depseration I’m noticing?
Stinks that this show was cancelled. Clever, well written, good chemistry with the main characters, characters about whom people care. Boo Hiss!!!!
Renew battle creek!
RENEW PLEASE!!! I can deal with stalker but battle creek was a must watch
