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?
Please renew battle creek. For God’s sake. Great show. Getting tired of great shows getting cancelled. Why even watch a new show the first season? Exactly!!
I love this show … Great writing and acting …do not cancel!
I love this show! I never miss it a lot of times the tv will be on but I wont be watching bit i actually sit and watch the hole thing. I love the main detectives, I love Dean. It shows a different side of him from SVU, he’s amazing! Please don’t let this be the end:(
I need to know what happens next for the two detectives.
Love Battle Creek, please keep it. There are fewer and fewer shows I find interesting. This was a good one.
My husband and I just finished our TiVo-line-up Battle Creek… And then found out it has been cancelled!!! We LOVE it! Clever writing, stories that are truly different each episode, actors who look and act like real people not just pretty faces or crazy “reality” spotlight-hogs… ARGH!!! Can’t it be picked up by s cable network? Seems CBS doesn’t know how to markets truly good show.
My whole family LOVES this show! Please don’t cancel it!!
Enjoyed Battle Creek. The characters were quirky, but they grew on you. Sort of like Backstrom which also deserved another season. Now what am I going to watch? 🙁
Backstrom was cacelled, too???
Dear CBS, I am a decade over your preferred demographic. I have discretionary income that could be used to subscribe to ‘cbs’ unlimited in order to watch a new show (Battle Creek). Your network has a successful television series. Make that HAD a successful series. I hope that one of the other networks has the modicum of industry intelligence required to acquire a TV series that has already been cast and written. I assume you have been reminded of the variety of successful television series that would have been canceled if the first five shows HAD to be hits. I… Read more »
What a great show Battle Creek was. How sad that a well written and acted show was not given more of a chance–maybe change the day of the week or time of night.
It was sooooo much better than all of the reality shows that are on every night. Reality shows, however, are cheap (because they pay few people other than camera crews, not writers, actors, set designers, etc.) and the almighty dollar always beats quality these days.
Keep BATTLE CREEK on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love Battle Creek. Best show CBS has had on in years. Save Battle Creek!!!
I love battle creek and the stalker!!! I was so excited about these 2 new shows!!! I cannot believe people watch reality tv instead of these great actors and actresses!! Battle Creek is awesome, love all the characters and great charisma!! Please rethink and continue these programs!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, do NOT cancel Battle Creek!!!!
Does anyone know if this information and comments we are posting on this page is even seen by CBS? I’m just curious because I have read 500+ comments all requesting CBS to reconsider canceling Battle Creek and not a single response from CBS. I absolutely love the show and so does my sister and brother-in-law; however, not sure anyone from CBS will ever see this.
I have been wondering this same thing!
Should probably send comments here too.

Sent an email to the link you gave but it did not go through. It said the URL could not be found. However, I agree that perhaps our comments should be sent to CBS in addition to this forum. I’m not sure this venue will gain any us any results. Feels like we’re shouting into an empty forest.
I never cared for Josh Duhamel before, but I like him in this show. I think the writing is very good, I like that Dean and Josh are complete opposites, yet they always seem to solve cases. The show just keeps getting better with every epidode. I think you should try it for another season. Advertise it a little more. Maybe try another time slot. It deserves another chance!
Agreed!!
