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?
I would love to know who rates these shows for them….battle creek is finally a big show to watch and boom it’s gone…. Yet they leave on terrible shows I can’t stand? I don’t get it…. Sad to say goodbye to a great show…
Loved Battle Creek! So sorry to hear of its cancellation
My family loves this show. We were so bummed when we learned it was cancelled. Cbs stinks! Bring back Battle Creek!
This is a great show. Wonderful cast and writing.
How could the idiots at CBS cancel this?
It’s very sad that the CBS ignores our comments. I am so tired of the garbage that the networks are putting out there. Finally something fun and fresh, and the program is pulled. Doesn’t make sense.
This show deserves to be saved! I loved the entire cast, the story lines, and the chemistry between Dean and Josh. This show was fresh and creative. I want to know more about these characters, including their past and future.
The problem with Battle Creek aside from the CBS day/time slot was that it was simply too clean, writing was too good, the acting and relationships were superb, there was no nudity, drunsk or police on drugs, etc. etc. Of course would be pulled.Unfortunately for CBS, viewers want it back! Yesterday!
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek. Dean and Josh and the entire cast are fantastic. Each episode was witty and cleverly written.
Battle Creek is a great series. You haven’t given it a chance to be successsful. It’s tough to have a show on Sunday nights at certian times of the year because of sports. I have had to miss Battle Creek because the show was delayed because of a game. Please reconsider and bring the series back. Give it more publicity the second round.
I love Battle Creek, best show this season. Funny, great acting, good characters, unique story! dean and Josh are so good together. My husband And I love this show. Please, Please bring it back!
thanks,
murielle
Obviously I was in the minority but I thought Battle Creek was great. Well-written, funny, strong performances from lead and auxiliary characters. The chemistry between Russ and Milton was fascinating. Two opposites, both sympathetic, constantly bouncing off each other in funny and ultimately affectionate ways. I am upset the show was better understood.
I thought Battle Creek was sharp, witty and a great ensemble of actors. Glad to see Josh back on TV. Loved Las Vegas, and they took that off!!! Why do all the good shows go off and they keeping adding these awful realty shows. Get the show back on!!!
I agree with Sandy. Get the show back on! Dean and Josh have great chemistry and the rest of the cast is filled with talent. Josh is magical, and Dean brings out the best in him. Get these two hunks back on the air! I wish this show was running over the summer. CBS could have used it. Get rid of the junk and bring back quality! Give the show a chance.
I thought the show was great. Enjoyed all the characters. Please bring the show back.
I love the actors! Please continue it for another season.
Battle Creek is a great show with a talented group of actors, containing humorous banter! Please continue it!!! Look forward to it each week.
