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.

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?
Love the show. Not a Castle lookalike. Good writing…clever…great relationships. Hope it makes it to the fall lineup!
Battle Creek should not be canceled! The dynamics between those two are hilarious. Seems like every time there is a good show, it gets canceled. Ugh!
This is the best and funniest series of the year. The humor mixed with a crime drama is a refreshing way to portray this type of series. It is an exceptional program. I will miss it in the weekly line-up
No! Save this show! It’s intelligent, love the characters, and I want to see more! Give it a chance, and if CBS won’t, are you other networks listening? SAVE BATTLE CREEK!
Love this show. Please save it.
I have called CBS, left messages. …”I wanted Battle Creek to succeed “Our e-mails nor are out phone messaged to CBS . No way will I watch anything CBS has to offer next season, NCIS! NCIS New Orleans, Good Wife…(she’s old)…….Secretary…?(might as well watch NBC)
Up here in Virgina, everyone I know loved show! I don’t know how you get ratings! At least give it a chance! You renewed ” NCIS New Orleans” which is corny and bad dialogue. Good actors, but bad scripts. Battle Creek had a lot of room to developed their relationship. So mad at CBS!
Love the show!!!!
Everyone, call this number (212) 975-3247 to tell CBS that you would like them to reconsider their decision to cancel Battle Creek.
It was good drama and comedy mixed into a script. Good chemistry of characters.
I have called the number several times & left messages. This morning I go a live person, who took my message, but also basically said it would do no good.
I totally agree with all the positive comments that loyal viewers of Battle Creek have been inputting. Why have we not heard anything about its renewal from CBS. Does the network even look at these comments? If CBS doesn’t want it, why doesn’t it sell the series to another network? All of us who enjoyed Battle Creek should boycott CBS.. Let’s see the ratings go down for NCIS…why oh why is there a NCIS New Orleans. You see one, you’ve seen them ALL!!!
Let’s go guys and gals…fight, fight, fight for Battle Creek!!!!!
Good comment. I feel frustrated. CBS does not know a good thing. Battle Creek is fun! It’s a feel good show and there aren’t enough of them out there! Good acting, great ensemble, good writing, why get rid of something that we all need!
CBS Bring Battle Creek Back!!!
I think battle creek should be renewed. It has better stories than NCIS New Orleans, characters are morning likeable and it is a fun show!!
Do not Cancel, try cancelling a reality show or two.
Keep Battle Creek, it is a great show! It is the first show we have watched with anticipation for years.
I am 60 this year,live in the Midwest and love the show Battle Creek. I enjoying watching Josh and Dean go back and forth especially Dean’s attitude about life. Both of them come through as caring about each other. CBS is not giving them a chance to become another one of the best of CBS.
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek. I’m re-watching Battle Creek and it’s one of the best show on air. I LOVE the cast, I love the plot, I love the writing, I love the characters. CBS put this show up against Revenge which was ending. Battle Creek is so much better than Revenge, it’s better than Madam Secretary. CBS,… NYPD Blue took time to catch on, and look what happened. Battle Creek is every bit as good. Keep this cast together, keep the writers and I thank, the creators for this. You made a big mistake canceling. This could have been… Read more »
Just watched Battle Creek all 13 episodes in just a few days, I was hooked! What a great show!!! I loved it.
Such a shame it was canceled because the dinosaur TV companies are still back in the dark ages when it comes to determining ratings…people watch TV differently then they did 15yrs ago. I see so many good shows canceled and so much crap renewed because they can’t seem to wrap their heads around the long term value of quality shows vs the old broken largely inept ratings system.
PLEASE don’t cancel Battle Creek. It was such a cute show with likeable characters and witty writing. Besides, the real Battle Creek police department is rumored to be unhappy with a show that made so many people laugh at a “Battle Creek police dept.” Decent programming that isn’t the same old same old is SO great. It’s the only show we wouldn’t miss. Put the show in a different time slot and it will fly!
i love this show…i hope it come back for another season
