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?
This was a great show . I watched every week !!Can’t believe It has been cancelled. I was trying to find out when it was coming back on after last seasons finale. Also Stalker those were my two favorite shows!!
Great show.gutted its cancelled!!!
Dang! I really enjoyed this show! I was just trying to find out when it’s coming back on and instead I find it cancelled. First Stalker and now this! What’s up, Les?!?!
I think your mixed reviews was largely due to the time slot you assigned to the show. We loved the storyline and the acting was so much better than most of the crime dramas on TV.
It was something fresh and new, wish you would have tried harder to find the right spot for it!
I am just sick of reality TV, cheesy plot lines dramas and crime shows you are too afraid to watch alone.
Agreed!
I’m so disappointed this was cancelled and felt it was due to the time slot it was given, really really loved the storyline, the writing and acting… So much smarter and fresher than many of the shows that got renewed!
Absolutely the best show on tv and now cancelled!! Bring it back…
We, too, loved this show and looked forward to it every Sunday night. It was the perfect antidote to shows that went way too far to the dark side. Please, someone bring it back!
we love this show! we just found out about it,m or we would have been watching it all along! we had just started telling other people about this show and then found out that it was canceled! please bring it back!!!!!
This is why TV is not going to make it. If you think reality tv is going to sustain the population then your nuts. One good show after another is getting cut. Why and the hell would I watch a new show on your network. My family is done with new shows. Kill them all. We are switching to netflix. Piss on your shows. Your idiots.
Don’t cancel “battle Creek! !!!!!!!! My husband and I loved the show!! Great Acting, story line, comical, clever and loved the banter between the 2 detectives!!!!! Bring it back!! Quality TV!!!! Bring it back!!! So much on tv is awful but this show was smart… It had everything !!!
BattleCreek. Great show! RENEW IT!
I liked this show. Me and my Husband watched it together. Maybe having it on Sundays was a bad idea. Why do you cancel all the good ones and keep all (to many) of the reality shows.
Hubby and I are so P.O.’d that they cancelled this show! Never missed an episode. Everyone we told LOVED it. But yet they keep STUPID stuff on … when I get to run this network things will be different …
My husband and I never missed it! We want it on! It had action and comedy and our grandkids could watch it. Better then all those violent sex shows with fowl language!
Sad they’re cancelling! We enjoyed this show!
