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?
Please, please keep this show!
Why get rid of brilliantly written show with terrific character development? Was like Rockford Files meets Magnum PI, two successful shows with long runs. Please reconsider, and no more reality shows.
Break my heart! Why should such brilliant writing and terrific character development get cut? So refreshing after the reality shows. Also this was one of the best shows on tv to watch with my boyfriend. (He’s not as keen on The Good Wife, Madam Secretary or Scandal, also well-written.). Rockford Files meets Magnum PI. Didn’t those shows have good long successful runs?
Please reconsider. This show is great and needs to be renewed. The characters are the most original on TV.
Please do not cancel Battle Creek , it is a great show
Bad move CBS!!! This was a good show I hope another station picks it up!
Battle Creek was just beginning to gain traction – to find itself – to put all the pieces together, and BOOM! The show grew on me from the first episode – the characters were unique. This kind of shortsightedness on the part of TV brass happens too often – leaving viewers hanging out to dry! Bad move CBS! Go BC Bombers!
I have mixed feelings. At first, I really enjoyed the show, but as time wore on, the character of Russ had my teeth on edge so much I had decided to stop watching as soon as the season ended to spare myself the frustration. For those who could abide putting up with such an a-hole on a regular basis, sorry for your loss.
Battle creek was one of the only good shows on Sunday nights! How could you cancel s show without giving it a full season? Each show had a great story and the chemistry between the actors was fantastic. Please bring back this show!!
Please do not cancel this really good show…we love it. The story line is great and the actors are really good.
Battle Creek is a rare example of a show that blends interesting police work with clever humorous incidents and dialogue. All of the characters are in themselves a rich collage of diverse personalities. Cancellation of the show by CBS is short sighted and not in the best interest of the viewers. Please reconsider this action.
Please do not cancel this really good show…we love it.
Great show! DONT CANCEL
We enjoyed watching this show. Not sure why it was not renewed. Please reconsider to back it back.
If CBS reads these responses KEEP Battle Creek!!
It is a good show and we don’t have that many. The cast is great and I want to learn more about the characters. Keep it going please!!!
This show is great. And those ridiculous shows like Extant, and Under the Dome stay on? Please bring this one back. It is funny and entertaining. Enough of the really serious issues on tv shows. This brings a fresh aspect without being idiotic like Brooklyn 99.
