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?
The Russ character is very enjoyable and believable. Sorry the show has been cancelled, this is one of the few broadcast shows I would watch…

Thank you.
Not much of a chance to have talented actors make it, when you have all these reality shows out there. All you need for ratings is fowl mouth woman degrading each other, then throw some wine in the face and start a brawl……. real talent All you have to do is look at Empire, NCIS series for talent. Scripts writers (the best) don’t seem to matter…. look at battle creek. Hmmmmmm 13 episodes and some overpaid clown cancels the show. Guess now that Battle Creek is cancelled, we’ll get another “K family” spinoff…. now thats talent. Why not Justin B.… Read more »
This show should not be cancelled.They are not giving us much of a chance to like any show. I thought that Battle Creek was funny, up-beat and had a wonderful cast. The story line is really good, Why do they always have to cancel all the good shows and keep the stupid reality shows. As I have stated before. I think I’m just going to go back to books and watching Nascar. Other than that I don’t understand why we are paying $75.00+ a month to watch basically nothing on T.V. They cancelled Las Vegas, Deadwood and now Battle Creek… Read more »
I cannot believe CBS cancelled Battle Creek! It is a wonderful show; I love it! The actors alone are worth the price of admission. How can anyone resist Josh and Dean? The writing is great and the plots are very engaging. Who decides what is cancelled and kept on the air? I think it is people who don’t even watch TV and look down their nose at people who do. They probably think everyone has a short attention span and a brain the size of a walnut. People who cannot sit still and watch an hour show reveal a mystery… Read more »
Love Battle Creek, please don’t cancel. It is well written , and the actors are so great.
I like this show. Keep it on. You need 2 seasons to really see.
Great show! CBS needs to keep it on or another network pick it up
We loved this show! The humor was understated, but hilarious and the characters were engaging. We were very disappointed that the show was cancelled. Don’t know what the ratings were, but if Sunday night wasn’t a good time slot, then move it to another night. Seems silly to drop one of the few really good shows of the season.
Battle Creek is a fantastic show ! Shouldnt be cancelled!
Battle Creek is awesome! Why cancel such a great show? Are you people crazy!
It was one of the best news shows. I shouldn’t be cancelled. I hope CBS will rethink their decision.
It is a very great show. Nice to have funny entertaining programs. We have enough serious degrading programs. The friction between the officers is enjoyable. The length of time awarded Battle Creek is not sufficient for a true value judgment.
Love the show – hope it gets renewed! Good characters and well written – please renew.
I love the show. Please don’t cancel ‘the
Please..love All the actors on the show, how they play off each other. They seem so real and funny and sad. ie..why would they cancel we are just getting to know each one. Give it time at least one more season. Someone,,, needs to pick this show. or maybe CBS will listen. !!!!
On what grounds are they canceling it? It’s great!!!!
I love battle creek. Please keep it on t.v
