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 the better shows this summer. Hate to see you guys cancel it. Give it a chance, just when the show is getting good and we can’t wait for the next episode you cancel it?
Great show!! It has drama, humor, romance (finally) & is just one of the few awesome shows left on TV. What do the critics want? Another CSI or NCIS show? Seriously? This is why I hardly watch TV any more……except for Sun. nights. Is there a chance of saving it?
Love this show renew please……………
I love this show and think it should be renewed!!!
renew this show…please!!
This is a terrific show. The plot line was developed at an appropriate speed. The characters are all fascinating. Dean Winters is the best part. He is perfect in the part. The whole show is quirky – it is meant to be so – that is what makes it so addictive. I do not need to see blood and gratuitous violence – there is enough of that on the news all day every day. This program is clever in every aspect of every story line. It is not just good – it is excellent. Rethink this decision. You need this… Read more »
Bring it back – we are just starting to appreciate it’s humor and complicated characters. There is no other show like it.
Should reconsider! Once the characters developed, it was an interesting, fun show. Shame to see another good one cancelled. Give it another year to let it catch on. Please don’t cancel in haste!
I will miss the show….
This is a great show I am so disappointed to see it is being cancelled! Can anything be done?
There is a petition through Battle Creeks face book page and you can always tell cbs directly on there site
Renew it! One of the few enjoyable shows on tv–I’m sick of “reality shows” and horror shows
Granted it is not real, but entertain-able and not offensive and I’m no prude. Where have all
or writers gone?
You need to reconsider the cancelling of this show – it’s a good clean atmosphere and even funny at times. These reality shows that are taking over are for the birds – this one is improving as it goes and should be given another chance.
Yeah, typical of CBS, drop the more interesting, character driven, better written, just plain fun, show Battle Creek. Keep the typical brain dead clone after clone CSI New Orleans. Same old same old. That’s why I hope new cable shows and new innovative formats will put too stupid to mildly retarded CBS executives, out on the street in ten years. Keep up the inept work you morons.
Battle creek is so good and a clean show for whole family. Sometimes funny, sometimes dramatic. A little of everything with 2 sexy hansome actors to boot. A shame it’s being cancelled. A lot of people enjoy this show. Please change your minds and bring it back. Give it one more chance. Thank you for listening.
The show did start out kind of slow for a few weeks, but then it got going and the cast seemed to develop a chemistry. It should be given another chance as it was improving.
