Retired secretary says
I love this show. The interaction, the actors, everything! It is funny, the stories are a bit forced (and improbable) as far as cop mysteries go but they sure are entertaining and pleasing to the eye. Please renew it at least for another season. Thank you so much!
Ruth Deming says
This is an outstanding show. Well written, intelligent, funny, well acted, great scripts – everything!! I sincerely hope CBS gives it the chance it deserves. If nothing else, try a new time and night – 7 pm or 8 pm would be better. 9 pm. can just be too late for a lot of people.
Gloria Monroe says
I loved this show too, it was nice to have a change from our typical “formula” type shows like the CSI’s
I also, like Stalker, I hope that one comes back for a second season…
nifty says
I love this show. It’s very entertaining. I think CBS should give it a chance in a better time slot. The time slot that they stuck it in is generally referred to as “the kiss of death” time slot. Every show that CBS puts in this time slot is cancelled, even if it had been a good performer at another time slot. During football season, when football runs over, then the Good Wife runs over and people aren’t likely to stick around for a show that is starting a half an hour late on a Sunday night when they have to go to work on Monday.
Karen says
Keep this show its very entertaining.
Judy says
Love this show!! Need to keep it on the air.
catherine cook says
I love this show. With all the garbage on tv, this show is witty, entertaining, well written and nust plain fun to watch. Sorry to see it go
ang says
Please give Battle Creek another chance!
mary says
I truly belive the network should give this show another shot. Perhaps a earlier time slot and/or day. I recorded so I could watch later and 3 times it was pre-empted due to sports or other programming. Acting is great. It’s funny but has the serious tones of cop shows. Plus..they’re really starting to flush out the characters. Come on…give it another chance!
Barbara says
This show is totally great. It’s a refreshing cop show with a twist. It would be a shame to cancel it.
Ann says
Darnit. This is a GREAT show! The only thing is I don’t have time to watch it when it’s on so I have to watch it through the web.
My friend and I both agree that it has been a long time since we’ve found a show that is worth watching that doesn’t make the characters and the plot too stereotypically annoyingly predictable like some of the other so-called popular dramas such as Scorpion and Hawaii 5-0. I hate to throw shade at other shows, but the actors are all great and they’ve done great character development so far.
Maybe we can get TNT to pick it up or something if CBS isn’t wiling to. Why can’t they even do it as a mid-season show. That would work great! Maybe ratings will pick up on the web views that all the other shows have had their season endings and people search around for something new to watch.
vicki says
First “The Millers” now this show. You guys stink.
John Champion says
I can’t believe this show was canceled! I have seldom watched a show with so many characters I could relate to. The most recent show regarding the escaped con holding Agnew hostage had such an atypical twist it was a total surprise. Good writing and good acting deserve better than this CBS.
amanda says
Please keep this show!! Its amazing and my favorite!
Sandy says
What an awesome show. It’s so refreshing and fun to watch. All the characters are so real. I laugh, I cry, I enjoy!!! I hope you, at least, will have a series ending. I will miss this entertaining show!!!!
La Quetta Ray says
I love Battle Creek, it should not be cancelled.,CBS needs to take into consideration what it was on at the same time as other shows with a following, like Revenge I wished it hadn’t been cancelled too.
Tharu says
PLEASE don’t cancel this show! It has a very unique storyline and it deserves another season!!! I think the rating is low because it has a crappy airing time and people like me who love the show but don’t live in the States can’t do anything about the rating.
Martin says
Battle Creek is an excellent show and should be renewed for another season. It is well written and is more about the characters than just car chases and shootouts. It is getting more interesting as the characters are starting to develop. Moving it to a different time slot would give it a better shot, as the Sunday time more than anything puts it at a disadvantage for good ratings.
Ann Garczynski says
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek. It was one of the new shows that I really enjoyed watching. I’m sad to see it go.
Mary says
I did not want Battle Creek to be cancelled. It was such a fresh approach to mystery solving. The powers that be saved “crap” like 2 broke girls, and cancelled something special without all the latest Tecnology. Vert disappointing….what didn’t viewers like ……… A modest town like Battle Creek getting some attention? Alway the big cities are in everybody’s face, get the cast back together and put Battle Creek on for another season.
Joanne says
Love this show!! Sure some of the plots may be improbable but watch some other cop shows where women run around in spike heels and low cut tops! Like that is realistic! Battle creek is funny and entertaining. Do Not Cancel. Please
Amy R says
DO NOT CANCEL! I LOVE this show! I’m glad I’ve DVR’d the episodes so far so I can go back and watch. The writing was good, the relationship between Russ and Milt was acted so well. I love the irony and the cynicism of it. Everything. DO NOT CANCEL, PLEASE!!
manuel antonio says
Why do not try fridays before h50 i personally liked sunday night great show.
sallie says
Please do not cancel this show…it is great…love all the characters…with all the junk on now…so few shows…pls. put on another night…do not cancel…
Amie says
This show is unconventional that is why it’s worth watching. The characters’ different temperaments make it just the right blend to make it entertaining. PLEASE RENEW for 1 more season and watch it for yourself.
Battle Creekian says
Really CBS!??? We viewers are sick and tired of our favorite shows being cancelled. Please renew Battle Creek for a 2nd season and let’s take it from there.
Deborah says
Not again!! 1st it was CSI Miami and NY..What’s next..NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles/ New Orleans???? Keep this up CBS and you will have no viewers left. I REALLY liked this show. Reminded me of Psych..(and I never missed an episode of that). Drama/crime solving and just enough light comedy. PERFECT!
How about LISTENING to the VIEWERS for a change??!! Thurs night 8PM CST would be just fine by me.
Cheryl Haserman says
I can’t believe Battle Creek is cancelled, we loved this show and its characters. Please, please reconsider!!!
Julie says
I love, love, love this show. Please don’t cancel it. I DVR almost everything I watch but this is the show I watch first. I love the characters and the acting is wonderful. I was disappointed that the season was almost over and I would have to wait months to watch it again. I agree that another network or maybe netflix should pick it up and keep taping. Please, please, please let some other network benefit from CBS’s error.
Val says
CBS blew it on this show. CBS billed it as a drama or cop procedural…the actors and chemistry made it a very enjoyable, quirky dark comedy. Maybe CBS execs should actually WATCH the show, then bring it back next season rebranded as what it is – a dark comedy. Love this show, especially now that the characters are starting to gel. Maybe USA will pick pick up the show. Won’t be the first time USA picked up a show from another network and made it a hit.
Sue says
Do NOT cancel this show! Seriously, this one is going to grow on people; the characters will develop – You have barely given it a shot! JUST SAY YES, and keep this one going!!!
Jim says
Battle Creek was not cookie-cutter. Its original, a little unusual, and has a back story I was interested in. Remember The X-Files? Why did people continue to watch after the umpteenth alien scenario? The back story was intriguing and viewers wanted to know and watch how the characters and their relationships developed. That’s how Battle Creek hooked me. Cookie-cutter shows with crappy back-stories are boring and not worth my time, like yet another CSI or that type. Avoid being a copy cat cliche and try to be different, truly different. Original.
Gale Hester says
My husband and I love this show. The characters are so down to earth and real.
rosemary says
Show should be given a chance in summer slot . They were up against Madmen final shows. Castle almost did not make it. Both actors in BattleCreek had great chemistry.
You gave Halle Berry another chance. Battle Creek deserves it too.
patsy says
Please keep Battle Creek going; I look forward to it every week, and it’s entertaining. I’m so tired of reality TV shows clogging up my viewing time. There are few shows left that I watch. RUSS AND MILT have amazing chemistry, and the entire cast is stellar!! Please give it another season!!!!
brad says
Omg, I’m so disappointed this show is canceled. I wish TNT would pick it up or something. We need to start a petition.
ann says
I LOVE this show. If there is a petition or a way to reach the network please let us all know. The time slot was difficult and I always had to record it to watch, but I looked forward to every episode. The acting is great, the character arcs wonderful… wah! Don’t cancel!
Tina says
Please do not cancel….love this show
ben says
Please don’t cancel this show cbs!! Bad move!! Most origanal show you have on and it is actually funny not just you stereotypical drama. Please reconsider and give it a second season!!!
rc says
I apologize to everyone here… I knew this show and doomed from the start because I actually liked it! I have some kind of kiss of death when it comes to TV shows… with rare exceptions, if I like it, it is almost sure to get canceled. I swear my track record with broadcast shows is dismal.
Leslie Maxey says
Stupid Stupid Stupid CBS doomed this show no marketing, The time and day of the week it was shown not optimal.
They killed a great show with great stories and great acting. Good job CBS
linda says
this was an interesting show from the beginning. the interaction between characters left you wondering how the characters came to be who they were. hate to see it go as it was just beginning to grow and become a cohesive group and an all around interesting and even more entertaining program. i really liked the show and the characters.
Virginia says
Seriously you cancel Stalker and Battle Creek but keep Scorpion?!? and Extant? Thats just ridiculous.
ginny mcelhatten says
I am asking to please give Battlecreek another chance. This is one of the best shows out there, the cast, the acting, story lines, setting, just wonderful. The time slot was the problem, I wish CBS would reconsider.
Debbie says
I love Battle Creek ! This season has been the worst for the good shows being canceled. Pretty soon all well have to watch is reality shows like Honey Boo Boo. Seriously people. Get some taste!
Janice Notter says
Of course your stupid enough to get rid of Battle Creek instead of changing the night its on! I hope you lose a lot of viewers. Why don’t you change the time and the night instead of putting it on late when people get up the next morning for work and school. Are you really this stupid? Monk, Psych, are off USA network now why don’t they pick it up? How Maybe if CBS put it on as a reality show they could give it another try! How about “Honey Josh, or The Bachelor Josh , or Amazing Josh, or Survivor Josh? Some of the TV watching community like normal, funny shows-you idiots! I hope this decision bites you in the you know what!
carol duncan says
I agree with all the many others who have favorably commented. I really really like this series and am so disappointed that it’s been canceled. It is clever, funny, interesting and the characters are worth trying to figure out. If another network picked it up, I’ll forward the series! PLEASE BRING THIS SERIES BACK. It reminded me of another series a few years ago that was canceled after the first season (The Good Guys) which was clever and funny and the characters were terrific. Why do the quirky and just a little off center series get canceled way too soon. Please give it a chance!
Carrie says
Please don’t cancel Battle Creek. I think it is a great show, I agree if it was on another night or on at a different time it would have a much larger fan base. I love all of the cast and really looked forward to watching it every Sunday night.
Lisa says
Do not cancel Battle Creek!!!!!!
Helen says
Don’t cancell this show it has everything! The chemistry works between the different characters, it’s funny to boot! I love it! There are so few shows that have these qualities & it wouldn’t be the first show that has been a slow starter!
Tony A says
Well, Battle Creek and Backstrom cancelled…the only new shows I thought were any good at all. Looks like HBO, MAX, and Showtime will be getting most of my business…
Ina says
BATTLE CREEK is clever& entertaining from the way the opening credits are displayed to closing credits.. I hope you will reconsider.
The STALKER scared me like no other show. I hope you will also reconsider this too.
Ina says
BACKSTROM is also canceled???? Are you all nuts ???
stelhanie says
LOVE THIS SHOW! Please reconsider it’s cancelation. The actors have such a chemistry that few shows possess.
Really disappointed in CBS
Trish Goldsmith says
Please do not cancel this is one of the best series on tv
It has only got better as time goes on
Bob says
We have enjoyed this show as a family. It is well written and always a good story. Please consider continuing it.
Paul Zimmer says
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Best show since White Collar
Ryan says
If CBS cancels this show I am giving up on network television. This is the best cop drama, maybe even best drama I’ve seen on a networks. Shame on CBS if they don’t renew it.
Meredith says
Please renew this show!!!! This is one of the very few shows I like watching anymore because we have way too many reality shows. it was well written, had funny characters, and had different story line that we are not used to watching. Like me, most viewers tend to Dvr their programming so it is not recorded in the actually viewer ratings. Please please please give it one more season!!!!!
Rise Isom says
Please keep this show, it is well written and is so entertaining. I look forward to it each week. Give it a chance!!!!!
Dawn Beattie says
Dumb to cancel this show…It is very entertaining.
Karin says
Please!! Do not cancel this brilliant show!!!
It’s the best show in years. Smart, fun and with an interesting plot. Love it and It makes me sad that it will not get a new season 🙁
markg73 says
Battlecreek is (was) a great show, I can’t believe it wasn’t renewed by CBS. I hope some smart suit at another network picks it up & can be hailed a hero when it’s done many more seasons & became as popular as expected. You cancel a show by the guy who created Braking Bad? Are you mad?
markg73 says
*Breaking (my bad! =)
Sharon says
Very sorry to see Battle Creek go. Hope it will be picked up by another network.
Sharon Welty says
Sorry to see Battle Creek go. Hope it will be picked up by another network.
Samantha frago says
This is SOOOO stupid! I cant believe you are keeping these dumb shows like Scorpion, Limitless, and Hawaii Five-O. And other shows like The Good Wife that has past there prime. Whoever makes these decisions needs to listen to the viewers that actually watch the shows. Battle Creak is the best show since NCIS the characters are amazing and so funny this is one of the rare shows that actually deserves to be on TV. Our family is very disappointed.
Bree says
I just found out about the show via Netflix . Loved it! Loved everything about it. Better than most of the crap on tv now. I hope it gets picked up for more seasons!!
Bill says
I hope CBS / Disney reconsiders keeping this show.
