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?
Just found this on Net flicks and couldn’t stop watching it. In three days I hit the end. Please renew!
I am absolutely hooked on this show. The story line and the actors are awesome. I certainly hope some other network picks it up. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
I pray another channel picks it up, this was ONE awesome show-great chemistry with all the characters!
Nooooo loved battle creek here in the uk,acting was superb love dean winters BRING IT BACK !!
Just checked to see when the second season of Battle Creek was to be aired and see that it has been dropped! Why is it that a series with characters that you can actually care about is cancelled when there is so much rubbish on TV every day of the week with badly acted, poorly scripted series which run on, and on, and on and with characters that have no personality that anyone can relate to?
Very very true!
Just checked when I might expect the second season of Battle Creek to be aired and all I see is that it’s been dropped! For goodness sake how does a series with characters that you can actually care about get dropped when there is so much rubbish on TV every day of the week and so many badly acted, poorly scripted series which run on, and on, and on?
I wish it would stay I wish cbs would take off shows it is stupid some networks have shows like my 600 pound life and they take of the good shows……… Stupid ………… BRING IT BACK
I love this show, totally looked forward to each episode. Very sad it was cancelled
Why was Battle Creek cancelled? I enjoyed the show. A detective show that wasn’t vulgar or violent. I’m very disappointed it was cancelled.
Totally agree!
Don’t need to have cadaver with chest peeled open on a slab ever 5 min’s flashing on the tv.
Nice to have something different with 2nd plot shifts not so overly obvious etc.
Please CBC admit you made mistake & start up!
Why was this show cancelled. Our whole family liked this show. We watched it every week. Our ages 72, 55, 30, 26, 24, 21. So it had interest for all of our ages. It was a great comedy.
We can never understand why some of these decisions are based.
I love this show man, why the hell is it cancelled.
Bring back Battle Creek, we’re loving over here in the UK. Loving Dean Winters, bring it back, back back.
I really liked Battle Creek and watched every episode. Bring it back!
I recently checked to see what happened to this show as I loved it, thought the story line was intriguing (WHY WAS Chamberlain in Battle Creek), loved the intetplsy of the characters, acting was superior. Overall, a great, thoughtful show. Bring it back. BTW, this is the first time I ever wrote to bring a show back.
Thought the show was great!! Very disappointed to here it was cancelled ~ hands down better than all the voyeur programing and crude sitcoms currently running.
