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?
CBS was very short sighted to have canceled this show so early in its first season. This show got better and better every episode. I did not particularly like it in the first few episodes but by the end of season one, my husband and I were very big fans. I considered Battle Creek to be one of the best new shows on the air. My husband and I DVR’d all the shows and just tonight (5/27/15) watched the last one. I agree that to only poll viewers on the night the show airs is not a accurate way to… Read more »

Battle Creek is one of the few shows on CBS we watch. Everyone I’ve mentioned the show to has come back to me with very positive reviews. The character development has been good, the writing is good, it’s a great show. Please renew it and restore my faith in CBS.
CBS finally has a real gem and they cancel it. Change the day and time and give the show another chance. I love the show toooo much!

My favorite show! Very upset it was cancelled.
I’d like to know how the ratings are determined. With PVRs and on-line viewing options how can anyone figure out who is watching what. I agree that this is a great show. The interaction between the cast, the humour, the story lines…the best show I’ve seen in a long time. Too many good shows are cancelled while some very crappy shows continue. There seems to be a disconnect somewhere. Keep Battle Creek alive !!!
Save BATTLE CREEK! No one ever asked us what we watch, and we never missed a single episode of this unique show! So how do they know the number of people watching??
no, no, no, no, NO!!!!!
It’s an awesome show and the characters are just developing!
It’s such a lovely way to end the weekend, bc watching Mr. Winters or Mr. Duhamel is NOT a chore…just saying’…

My husband and i really enjoyed battle creek. We cant stand reality tv or anymore ncis. battle Creek has great sarcarm and stars. PLS reconsider
Don’t cancel Battle Creek. One of the best shows of the season. Great characters, great scripts.
One of the better shows on tv. Much better than NCIS New Orleans and some others that got renewed. Much better than reality shows and sitcoms.
Two votes to keep Battle Creek on. My husband and I both love it.
Why are you cancelling such a great show?? PLEASE reconsider! This show is actually one that is different than all the other cop shows and SO MUCH better than the reality TV crap!
Battle Creek is one of the best new shows and my favorite this season. Much better then NCIS New Orleans! Great writing and characters. Please renew it!!!
love the show–please do not cancel!!
