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?
For once in the past several years a new series actually worth watching. Humor that’s not vulgar, actors who meld together and writers and director who know what they’re doing.
…and then some “intelligent exec” says cancel!
Stunning, simply stunning…
This show is better than a lot of them.
This show is good. Please renew it. I love the redemption factor and the misfit partnership interactions with all the twists and turns. I’d love to see this show develop a wide ranging audience. Please give it another chance.
One of my favorite shows, and ranked #39 among the top 50 shows by TV Guide. So why was it cancelled???? Great stars, great acting, great chemistry. So where’s the problem?
No tacky language and cringe worth sex scenes?
We LIKE it but don’t understand the last episode — Is Milt alive? Help!!!
Please renew it – we like the humor and all…
My whole family loves Battle Creek!!
Mistake…Big Mistake!
This is a good show that would have gotten better.
OMG 2 Broke a Girls is still on… Hawaii 5 0 is still on. I can give a bazillion examples of bad or simply mediocre shows that are still on . Psyche was on for an eternity.
The actors deserve a better break than this, they were all like able and extremely good at what they do.
I am pissed off and heartbroken.
Any chance the cretin that made this decision will retire and be replaced by someone more enlightened? Please?

The show was coming together so well. What made them cancel it? The characters we’re so well played. It will be missed.
Best crime show, funny but realistic. Should continue.
I am so ticked off that Battle Creek has been cancelled!
I really enjoyed Battle Creek. Please don’t cancel!!
We love this show. Great acting, plots and characters. Please bring it back.
BRING BACK BATTLE CREEK!!!!!!!!
Loved the show and so did my husband, sorry it is gone
Battle Creek is one of my favorite shows. Love the characters and script, very disappointed that the powers that be are canceling it!!!
Definitely should not be cancelled. CBS exec’s should give the viewer’s time to really watch Battle Creek and get to know the characters before yanking it off the air. Only started watching it on-line this week because of all the craziness on the news happening. Give them and us another chance if CBS really does care
Do not cancel, terrific show, loved it.
