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.

Bring it back
I really love this show. It is such a change from the other crime shows on TV. These two actors work together. Please give the show another go.
I’ve been catching up on t.v. shows that are recorded on my uverse recordings list. I’ve been watching “Battle Creek” , all day today. I really have enjoyed it and think it is a entertaining show. I think it shouldn’t be canceled so soon! First of all I was unable to watch all the episodes I had recorded , because “The Good Wife” was on the first 20 minutes of the recording for some reason. Maybe 3 or 4 out of the 7 or so I had recorded. If that happened alot people maybe was sick of that happening. I… Read more »
There are so many people posting on here that agree with you…it’s overwhelming. I am one of them. And it’s ridiculous that CBS doesn’t give anything worth watching a chance. Makes one not want to start any new programs. That being said, when recording ANY CBS programming on Sunday evening, you should always add an hour. Football pushes the programming back most Sunday’s during the season. I learned this the hard way several years ago, just like you.
I was wondering and looking forward to when Battle Creek was going to start in the fall and found out that it has been cancelled. Bummer! It was a good show and the cast complimented each other. Poor decision!
I wish they would reconsider cancellation. This is a really good show.
Bummer! I really enjoyed Battle Creek. The executives who decided to cancel the show are clueless.
I really enjoy the show and the stories have gotten more interesting. I also like the dynamic between mayhem and his partner and Mayhem reluctance to allow anyone in. Very interesting and something I think a lot a people struggle with.
I LOVE “Battle Creek”. I was really SHOCKED & BUMMED when I heard it was canceled. Lots of great cast members, love the Russ character & clever crime/detective/comedy!! Please bring it back & do some promoting & advertising & give it a chance.
Love battle creek, so wish they would not cancel.
My wife and I love it. Please don’t cancel.
We loved Battlecreek. Not everyone likes ridiculous reality shows! Some variety please?
If you really liked the show, then the best thing to do would be to inundate CBS with feedback that you don’t want the show canceled. Try this link: http://www.cbs.com/feedback/
I’m not sure anyone will see the comments posted here who can do anything about giving the show another chsnce, but giving feedback directly to CBS might help!
This is a fantastic series…and CBS doesn’t have clue how to react when they finally have a potential winner. They need to renew it for the coming season!!!!’
I love this show. It had some weak storyline a in the beginning and then got better and better. Please don’t cancel it
I wish they would not cancel Battle Creek. I have really enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the show and think cbs should give it another go.
