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: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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?
i love this show its a a great show why cancel it?
Please renew…it gets better with each episode. Give it a chance!!!
Battle Creek should not be cancelled. I just hope all these positive comments are being forwarded to CBS. This profram was a fres change from the NCIS series and the CSI series. They are one and the same. Battle Creek needs another chance!!!
Battle Creek has decent writing – original scripting and engaging characters. Why does only PBS and BBC America do programming that has a plot and interesting characters. It seems that Amwrican audiences are constantly fed “white bread bland” sitcoms. How disappointing that this show is being cancelled.
this show was soooooo refreshing; with great humor; people acting human (caring!!!); appreciated the excellent !!!!!! writing and superlative “mysteries)
blood and gore held to minimum which apparently most people now want more than two delightful guys plus team acting caringly and depth of characters sorely lacking anywhere on tvl.
I am just about ready to cancel cable (local and expanded)- absolutely no point in watching when you continue to yank anything remotely
creative!!!!, and minimal if no mutilated bodies!!!! I am so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to see you all go.
This show is well written well acted and well produced. Sad to say that in an age of complete dribble knock-offs like NCIS New Orleans and stupid reality TV, a really good show can’t survive. Time for me to read more books, cancel cable, and have even more meaningful conversations with my wife and my friends. Goodbye CBS!
Everyone who wants to save Battle Creek Should probably send comments here too. http://www.cbs.com/feedback/
Did any our our positive comments regarding Battle Creek get delivered to CBS? I just today see that we should submit our comments directly to CBS. I just did but perhaps it’s too late.
I’ve tried twice to send a message to CBS via this link. It bounced back both times saying it could not find this server. Someone needs to research a link that will in fact go to CBS. This one isn’t working.
We love this series. It took us several shows to get hooked, but we would not miss it, And, yes, we are over 50 which means we have the money to buy the products in the commercials. With so many stupid shows on the air it was wonderful to have an intelligent, entertaining show to look forward to at the end of the day.
Why cancel this? I love this show!
We can’t believe battle creek is cancelled! We very much enjoyed it! The crime solving along with the humor was great!
Why cancel Battle Creek so soon ? The characters are just now developing. As with many shows this is one that gets better each episode as more and more of the characters personalities develops.it deserves a 2nd year!!! My family will be sad to see it cancelled.
renewed.
battle creek is one of the best shows on right now. humorous, good story lines, and interesting character interactions and development. so many shows are sleezy and in the gutter, this is not. if this goes, there will be NOTHING to watch
I really like this show. The characters are just being fleshed out. I hope this series is not cancelled
I love this show! The cast is awesome! It’s funny, clever and refreshing! Good stories! Please don’t cancel it!!
Love this show!!!! Keep it going.
This is the most entertaining show in ages! All the characters are real — at times funny, at others pathetic. If the ratings have been a problem, it has to be because of the two
“lady shows” preceding it, which have become quite boring. Give it one more year in a good time slot and see what happens. PLEASE! KEEP THIS SHOW!
