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.

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. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
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 really enjoyed the show wish you didn’t cancel it. Bring it back!
I looked forward to watching every epsiode of the 1st season and couldn’t wait for the fall season to begin again. I just went to cbs.com to look at when it would be on again and it wasn’t listed. I googled it and it brought me to this website. What? It’s been cancelled? It was such a good show! PLEASE-bring it back! Give it another chance!!! CBS has so many other stinkers on that should have been dropped instead; Amazing Race, Survivor, Big Brother etc. Reality TV is getting old, you couldn’t pay me enough to watch any of them.
Battle Creek was on the verge of being one on the best shows on TV! So many bad shows and you geniuses take the good ones off. Thanks a lot!
I enjoyed the dynamics between the two characters and wondered why Battle Creek was off the air so I did my research and got my answer.at this website. This show was very entertaining. Too bad the network was shortsighted and did not give it another season. I wish I kept the recordings.
Battkecreek was a great, witty show. You always cancel the good ones! Another CSI, how creative!!!
We just want Battle Creek renewed and given a another chance. It is a great show!
The characters are all great and memorable. There have been in the past, a lot of bad shows that have been renewed. Most people eI know are sick of the reality shows now. Please, we just want Battle Creek back. Thanks!
I think this show didn’t get renewed is because it didn’t get enough publicity. Vince Gillian and David Shore are brilliant people and they should have gotten a little more publicity credit in the show.
People went Loopy over ‘Breaking Bad” and “House M.D.” but I didn’t hear ANYTHING about this show and I work in TV. I think there is A LOT of money being wasted in the TV game right now. Call me if ya’ll want some help.
Mc
Great show, watched it everytime! Forget the 18-49 age group, they need to pay more attention to the 50-65 age group!!! We are the ones actually watching the show…not playing all night video games…..
Loved this show,great mix of characters.
I loved it also
I forgot to add that the way the characters are with each other is brilliant and there is no other show like it; it’s definitely the best crime tv show that I’ve seen and I’m absolutely gutted that it has been cancelled
I would love it to be renewed as I love the fact that there’s some comedy in it and it’s the best crime show since CSi.
I was looking forward to seeing more of this show, and am disappointed that it is not being aired. It was interesting, and the character interactions were brilliant. In this time of too many reality shows, which I find ridiculous, this was a show that I never missed. If I couldn’t be home on Battle Creek nights, I’d record so that I didn’t miss an episode. This was one of the very few shows that my husband and I watch. Most nights we turn the tv off ais soon as a reality show comes on. Please bring Battle Creek back!

Great,show. Love the characters and of course Josh! !!. Please,bring it back
Battle Creek is a great series with interesting characters. Was soo looking forward to next season. Please bring it back!
All the shows are the same. Reality shows that aren’t real, and predictable or overly violent crime shows. Battle Creek provided fresh programming that dealt with real issues graced with heart and humor. One of the only shows we watched. Hey Netflix, maybe you can pick this up too, and we can just cancel cable.
I’m with you. The show was awesome
