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?
I think as do many if my friends that Battle Creek us the best show ever. It is brilliant. I cannot believe it
may be cancelled. I really hope they reconsider.
Give it a chance. Please do not cancel.
Please keep Battle Creek alive! It’s one of the very few worthwhile shows to watch! Very refreshing and fun to watch
Please, please renew Battle Creek!,,,,,,
I wish CBS would have given the series Battle Creek a chance. Good show, good chemistry between the actors.
Nice to see a show where your mind gets challenged trying to figure it out, that has good detective work coupled with humor.
I have to admit the show started out slow at first, but it really took off. I hope it is reconsidered for airing.
I had recorded all of the episodes of Battle Creek and finally sat down and watched the last 10 in the past few days. As many people have commented, this show got better and better each week. It’s one of the best shows on TV. I always liked Dean Winters in his Allstate commercials and he’s exactly the same on Battle Creek. He and Josh Duhamel make a great team. Please bring this show back and put it in a better time slot. Following behind The Good Wife, which usually runs 30 minutes into Battle Creek’s time slot, is not… Read more »
Yes please bring back Battle Creek. It was just starting to grow on me. I suggest to the writers that Milt and Russ can still be different and have their different methods, but now be working together harmoniously, with no competition between them, at least with it not being as strong. Their differences can continue to add to the comedic effect, with both of them sometimes being right and sometimes wrong.
I did cancel my cable. And bought an antenna for a one time price of $69.00. I get 3 CBS channels, 2 ABC channels, 3 NBC channels, 3 Fox channels, 2 PBS, MeTV, and about 3-4 others. Unfortunately, I was still able to watch Battle Creek but because I was strictly watching it through free antenna TV, my viewing habits weren’t documented….and neither were so many of my friends who have done the same thing because they are also fed up with the cost of cable and crappy TV shows. CBS should NOT have cancelled this show!!!
It worked for me but then I went back and tried it and its not working….so my guess is that CBS has made up its mind and we will just be left with more of the reality TV shows, the mundane shows and another good show has “bit the dust!”
Hey “admin,”
How about instead of you telling “Kate” to stop posting the link everyday to try and save a great show, you actually answer the question that all of us have been asking!!! “Is CBS even receiving this information and people’s comments?”
No. I know that network people sometimes visit this site but we don’t have a direct connection with the network.
Do we have an answer to this yet–Does CBS even read this stuff?
I just found out that CBS might cancel, or already has cancelled Battle Creek. Why??? I really wish they would give it another season. This show was getting better with each episode. It was however, in an awful time and night. I always had to record it and watch it later in the week.
Does anyone know if CBS is even possibly considering keeping it on???

I love Battle Creek!! Dean Winter is awesome in this role, it is absolutely perfect for him! I am so bummed it was cancelled, I think it would’ve have done better with kore advertising or another time of year other than when other series are getting close to their series finales. Truly, truly upset!!!
