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?
Granted it got off to a slow start BUT each week got better & better. The last 3 episodes were especially FANTASTIC. Can’t believe this show would be cancelled & these trashy reality shows go on into infinity. I love all the characters, especially “Mayhem” & “Milt”‘s relationship. PLEASE UNCANCEL it!!!
One of the better shows on CBS. It is as good as The Good Wife. Like everything else, most TV shows need to gather an audience. Which means,most intelligent viewers need to watch more than once or twice. We need to watch the character development, and be drawn into the show. It is one of the better written programs on the air. If CBS executives are too stupid to recognize this, then shame on them! Well I guess they will bring back Gilligan’s Island.
My husband and I love the show!!! We are really bummed out that it was cancelled.
The finale was great … and I think it ended in a way that a second season could pick
up right where it left off. Please, please bring it back. Russ and Milt play so well off
of each other. It’s hilarious!
Battle Creek was one of my favorite tv series! I loved the dynamics of the cast and looked forward to watching it every week! Why are all of the good shows being cancelled? Please bring it back!
Yes I want it back too
Love this show please reconsider.
We love this show and hope it wasn’t cancelled!
This show is smart, funny and has great writing and is not a cookie-cutter program. I think the casting is wonderful down to the last person. If you won’t renew maybe another station will take it. We have enough bad TV with no personality. Please reconsider!!
I agree Mary! I love Battle Creek and am very upset it got cancelled!!!
We love this show and were so disappointed that it was cancelled. Would love to see it come back.
My whole family loves this show. Once again they cancel something good.
Should have been renewed.
We think battle creek should be renewed for another season. The show was fun and interesting. All the actors did a great job. The stories were well scripted. Please reconsider your decision to cancel and bring it back on next fall. The Sines!!!!!
