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.

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 Battle Creek. It was just settling in and we were just getting to know the characters. It’s a good show but the powers that be never gave it a chance. I think they are measuring the wrong demographic. The real viewers of this show are an older demographic that enjoys good writing without “f__k” being every other word in the script and without a lot of naked bodies and ridiculously unnecessary violence that adds nothing to the plot. The relationship between Milton and Russ is perfect and has a lot of future possibilities. The writing is witty and… Read more »
I really love Battle Creek. It is a really good show and I would hate to see this show being cancelled.
I love Dean Winters. It was a good clean funny but serious tv show…one of The Best!!!!!
I want Battle Creek renewed. It was my favorite show. Please renew it.
Great show. Keep it.
Please renew Battle Creek.
“Battle Creek” is such a delight–really funny, but with an undercurrent of seriousness. Josh Duhamel is perfectly cast as the perfect FBI agent, as is everyone in the cast, especially Janet McTeer. All the best dramas are on CBS–“The Good Wife”, the tremendous “Person of Interest” and now this wonderful show! Please keep it on!
Please renew this show. Battle Creek has given me many laughs and much enjoyment.
Battle Creek has been one of :the best show in prime time Very entertaining and good and clean compared to other shows Lets keep the good and do away with bad I vote yes for Battle Creek!
Battle Creek Deserves a second chance it’s an awesome and amazing Show I love Dean Winters and his character it’s to soon for the show to end 🙁
Another great show cancelled. I’d prefer it be on….
When will the networks abandon their stupid ratings system?! It’s like political surveys that only use land line results. People in their preferred demographic are more likely to be watching online. I’m not in their demographic, but have more expendable income than most people young people. Wake up CBS – this was a great show with actual character development and interesting story lines! I don’t know anyone under 50 who watches NCIS, but they must be out there….. 🙁
This is truly one of the best shows aired in a long time. If CBS doesn’t renew this, it would be worth soliciting other networks to pick it up. The show and the cast have a great synergy that has evolved more each episode. There are very few shows that we watch on CBS — this was a favorite and was not given a chance. Please consider giving it one more season or change the name of it to “NCIS – Battle Creek” since NCIS and it’s spin offs are the only shows you find worthy to put in prime… Read more »
This is one of the few shows I really like. It’s a great show. Ditto on some of the other comments…funny, refreshing, well acted. Please reconsider. Put it in a better time slot, give it a chance.
Battle Creek deserves a better Network. I think that CBS is so concentrated on what the demographic of 18-30 watch and enjoy that they seem to have forgot about the rest of us. I’m turning 65 and I look forward to the show every week. My friends who range from 30-70 all also enjoy the show. No……let’s just put on another talent, survival, reality, or people acting stupid show! Mindless TV will continue to be the demise of any Network willing to prostitute themselves for what they think will be their ratings salvation. Wake up CBS..!! Your driving your viewers… Read more »
