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.

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?
“Battle Creek” is an unimaginative, poorly written police procedural that wastes the talents of a fine cast. It would be nice if they could figure out whether the show is a comedy or drama. TV shows that try to be both don’t last very long unless there is very good chemistry between cast members. “Bones” on Fox is one of the few that pull that off, but that show features a unique point of view in that much of the action takes place in the anthropology lab of a large government museum like the Smithsonian.

This is a good show. Keep it.
This show is fantastic show!!!! I agree.. It’s an unfair time slot. Great show…bad slot, renew it at a different slot and it will be successful for sure!!!
Good show; no blood and guts, just fun entertainment. RENEW
I this show is good , the problem is that networks don’t leave the good ones on and put trash about celebrities or people you don’t even give a crap about on please keep this on
This was my favorite new show of the season. The best thing about it is you don’t have to watch every episode to get involved in this show – it can be picked up at any point – please give it a shot – the time slot is a killer with sporting events running over and never knowing what time the show is going to start!
Please give this show a chance. It’s funny, interesting, has some very good actors and is a refreshing change of pace for network TV. Janet McTeer is great (as usual) and deserves more credit for her continuing fabulous character acting. Good Job All.
i would like to see battle creek renewed, it is one of my favorite shows, and i like all the characters, and story lines. There is not much on tv i like, so please do not cancel this show.
Please please renew Battle Creek, it has become one of my favorite shows to watch. I love Dean Winters and Josh Duhamel. They are great actors who bring the show together. They make the show. Please give this show a chance. I am tired of new shows not getting the chance to bring the viewers in. So please give it a chance and renew. You will lose a CBS viewer if you cancel this show.
I am hoping that you chose to renew Battle Creek. I look forward to it and find the premise of the show is quite interesting. The mix of drama and humor is great. O have always enjoyed Dean Winter and Josh Duhamel is the perfect partner
Please save the show.
Thank you
Please renew this show, it’s funny and heartwarming, I love this show!
Please give battle creek a chance, that show is funny, serious and heartwarming at the same time, please renew this show!
Love this show! It’s quirky, funny, has good chemistry between the actors, and the plots are not obvious. Please give it a chance and the viewers something they can look forward to watching. Do not cancel Battle Creek!
This show is very well written and well acted. One of the best new shows on tv. I have no idea why the networks keep so much garbage and cancel the good ones. JGNo doubt why most people prefer non network television. It would be silly to cancel Battle Creek, but I am not holding out hope the network will do the right thing and keep it.
