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?
Battle Creek is one of our favortie shows. We liked the small town atmosphere and contingent problems. The characters are refreshing and have a real life feel. It would be a very good idea to rething yur decision to cancel the program.
This was a good show. Please bring it back.
They should have renewed Battle Creek. The show has gotten much better over time. I thought the first season of Seinfeld was really bad but after giving it a chance, look what it did.
Battle Creek was a great show with a good cast. Why wasn’t it given a better chance? I watched it every week and enjoyed the chemistry between Milt and Russ and the drama mixed with comedy. I hope a smarter network picks it up!
There are very few shows which are enjoyed by both males and females. This show was our favorite show by everyone. What are they thinking. It has to be the time slot or something. I sure hope someone reconsiders. The characters are great, the actors are great, the writing was great. What a shame.
Please bring back Battle Creek. We really enjoyed it. Don’t leave it with Melt being shot. Please bring it back
Absolutely loved this show. Plots were unpredictable and back stories interesting. Would love to see it given another chance.
Both my husband and myself REALLY ENJOYED the CBS crime drama, Battle Creek, and are VERY UNHAPPY that CBS chose to cancel it as quickly as they did! What are they going to do, put another lame Reality Show in its place? Man I do not know what kind of IDIOT made this decision to put this ENJOYABLE show on the chopping block but they should be FIRED! We are hoping that another network picks it up for a second season!
Sure, moderate my comments, the way CBS axed a great show!
I love Battle Creek. But I think Russ should play the lead with Mitch as his sidekick.
please save this show!!! The show wasn’t given a chance… it’s the best show on sunday
nights. please get it another chance!!!!
I LOVED this show. I can’t believe they would take this show off and leave on stupid “reality” shows. I hope it will be back on very soon.
We loved Battle Creek and think it should have been easily renewed, and still hope plans change to bring it back. One of the best cop shows on TV.
CBS executives have made a horrible call with this decision! Battle Creek was right up there with Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five-o!!!
I don’t understand why this show gets cancelled. I watched this show every week, but had to DVR and watch from there. Horrible shows are kept for years and years and new shows like this are cancelled. I liked the comedy of it.
I love this show and don’t believe it should be cancelled. It sat in the last spot on Sunday night and often started so late because programs before it running late, so people didn’t watch it. I did. I think the cast was perfect as was the story line. I liked the mix of comedy and drama. I honestly think you need to give new shows a better chance. I hope you will rethink your decision. I’m getting tired of seeing football causing shows to come on so late we’ve fallen asleep. Aren’t there sport channels for football to air… Read more »
I totally agree! This show kept getting knocked out of its time slot because of overtime sports. A brand new show that hasn’t developed a following can’t survive that. Many people DVR late shows to watch at another time…again , messed up by sports running over. This is a really good show that deserves another shot in a better time slot with better promos!
