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.

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.

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?
Battle Creek is a great show that i would really hate to see cancelled…i love everything about the show the characters and the story behind it all. I really hope that the show comes back for another season.
Battle Creek is one of the best shows on CBS and I don’t understand why it’s being cancelled. The characters are very well matched, the writing is great, and Dean Winters is by far one of the best actors to be seen on CBS for long time. Please reconsider…..Battle Creek will have a great following if you give it another chance. Thank you!
Just now watching all the episodes I recorded on my DVR. LOVE, LOVE,, LOVE it! Do NOT cancel Battle Creek. It’s funny, clever, and wildly entertaining. The story lines are great. The ensemble cast is charming and Dean Winter and Josh Duhamel are so well suited as the “forced” partners.
You’re making a huge mistake if you cancel this program. Please reconsider.
Battle Creek was the best show on tv. I have a number of friends who felt the same way. Maybe another station can pick it up and give it another chance. Please bring it back!
This is my first time ever to write in about a show … Bring back Battle Creek! Duhamel and Winters did a great job making us care about the characters and the writers are did a fine job creating stories to keep us involved. We enjoyed having something to watch that wasn’t too bloody, too dark, or just plain old too stupid.

We love it!!! So tired of the NCIS and NCIS New Orleans and their self-righteousness … Battle Creek a goodtime … pleaseplease put it back on the schedule!
Thank you
Bring back battle creek, thought the characters and the show was fleshing out
This was a good, fun show, it didn’t have time to run.
That number was listed on the CBS website as being for “feedback, ” so I assume they all get recorded or passed on–I certainly hope so.
Don’t cancel Battle Creek. We liked the characters and the plots.
Why is this being cancelled? The show has everything I like ina tv show. I don’t watch any shows on regular tv. I watch sports. Until now. I came upon this by accident. I watched the 1st episode and I was hooked. Ot’s the “mayhem guy” I told my wife. She started watching with me. We enjoyed all the episodes, escpecially the episode with Candice Bergen playing his mother. This series has humor, drama and a plot. Please reconsider the future of this show. Battle Creek has become 1 of my favorite shows to talk about.
I agree with Rick Hollnagel. This show has a little of everything, drama,, plot & especially humor. It’s refreshing that there isn’t a tremendous amount of blood & guts. I sure hope the powers that be rethink canceling Battle Creek.

I did call the number which was posted. Lady said she would pass my message along. Whether she did, I don’t know. Everybody who rolled Battle Creek should call CBS.

Please don’t cancel Battle Creek – we love the characters, the actors, the plots – we have seen every episode – also the writing is very good. Do give it one more season at least.
