TV show description:
A drama, this TV series revolves around two mismatched law enforcement officers. They have polar opposite views of the world and (possibly) a grudging respect for each other’s abilities as they clean up the streets of Battle Creek, Michigan.
Detective Russ Agnew (Dean Winters) is a good but gruff and hard-boiled detective. He’s had his world turned upside down when strikingly handsome and charismatic Special Agent Milton Chamberlain (Josh Duhamel) opens an FBI field office at the police station — and he chooses Russ to be his partner.
Milt’s polished sophistication and access to unlimited state-of-the-art equipment is impressive to his new co-workers in the absurdly underfunded department.
The pair work long hours together in the economically distressed city and it remains to be seen if Milt’s charm and endless supply of high-end resources or Russ’s old-fashioned cynicism, guile and deception will be the keys to catching the bad guys.
Other characters include Commander Guziewicz (Janet McTeer), Detective Fontanelle White (Kal Penn), Holly Dale (Aubrey Dollar), and Aaron Funkhauser (Edward Fordham, Jr.).
Episode #13 — Sympathy for the Devil
Milt survives a car bombing and enlists Russ to track down his would-be assassin, leading to startling revelations as to why Milt is the way he is and what brought him to Battle Creek.
First aired: May 24, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Battle Creek TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season instead?
Love this show. Sad … maybe cable will pick it up!!
This is one of the few adult TV shows that connects with emotional substance.
If another network picks it up, I guess I’ll just go there.
Cancelling Battle Creek renews my knowledge that the general public is retarted. Reality shows for the brain dead flourish while quality shows are cancelled.
Should be RENEWED
My husband and I agree with the previous comments, good, smart, well written show. Hope it is picked up.
Please rethink the cancellation of this show. I love this show, It’s smart and funny. It has great characters. It just makes me sad that a well written, well acted show would be cancelled while so many bad shows were renewed.
Really liked this show. Hope it is not being cancelled to make room for another reality show
It will be hard not to continue to watch future episodes of Battle Creek as it is a part of my TV viewing schedule and a show to look forward to. If it is a case of being in the wrong time slot, I hope something can be done to fix it. The cast is excellent. Who doesn’t love Josh Dushamel and I’ve always loved Dean Winters as “Mr. Mayhem”? and was excited to see him in the role of Russ. I was enjoying his “love life” storyline and wishing to keep following. I especially liked the genius writing of… Read more »
I wish networks would leave good primetime series on TV, and cancel the reality shows! Like Survivor, Bachelor, Bachelorette, The Voice, Dancing with the Stars,American Idol will that one is going off the air thank goodness!
Please renew
Battle Creek has the chemistry of characters and the writers create interesting situations. The show will be a success if more time is given yo develop a following. Great characters.
If anyone knows who to contact to complain about the cancellation, please let me know. Thanks!
Sitting here watching another fantastic episode of battle creek on a Sunday night at a horrible time slot,because the show is awesome. Unfortunately some dipshit who has no clue of how great this show is wants to cancel it after only 1 season. Great thinking Einstein!!! Smh
I absolutely LOVE the show! I cannot believe that they are cancelling it!!!! What is the matter with them??? Look at all the comments above. They all feel as I do. What can I do to get them to save the show????????
I can think of at least three other shows that should have been canceled instead of Battle Creek. The network needs to replace Les M. & his phoney wife. I am also sick of all The Big Bang reruns also. I am old enough to remember when this was the top network to watch. Very poor management.
