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.

This is a very entertaining and quirky show. I love it! The surprise appearance of Candice Bergen helped make this week’s episode the best one yet. Please, please, please keep this show going. Given a chance, it’s audience is going to continue to grow.
Please renew ‘Battle Creek.’
CBS would do well to promote this show, which is well written and engaging.
The characters are fun to watch and have great chemistry.

love it love it love it gets better every week very funny and entertaining please don’t cancel Cbs think of the people who like good programming for a change and stop cancelling good shows
This is one of my favorite shows! It is very well-cast, clever, both funny & dramatic, with twists & turns. Great job by cast & writers, & great chemistry! If the ratings aren’t as good as it should be, maybe that’s because it has been starting late for several weeks. People who try to record it are missing the last part of the show, because the cable guide still lists it as on, not delayed.
Agreed. I have taken to taping it and exteding time by 60 minutes.
Very aggravating to only get part of the show. Loved last night’s episode.

I’ve extended recording by 60 minutes as well, and it’s one of the first shows we watch on DVR.
Love Battle Creek. Interesting, entertaining, well-written and love the subtle humor between main characters. Especially thankful it doesn’t resort to sensationalism or explicitness to tell its stories!
Renew!!!
Please renew or it, move it if you have to, but save it for one more season. Love the show.
