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?
What a shame that Battle Creek was cancelled! We enjoyed the show very much! Reminiscent of Memphis Beat with Jason Lee. Where do the all the refreshing shows go? Please bring Battle Creek back!!!
Seriously, you kept the Odd Couple and cancelled Battle Creek? Bring it back!!!!
Every time I see the Mayhem Allstate commercials I just get so ticked off that Battle Creek was cancelled. I loved the program, always looked forward to its airing and was terrible disappointed to see that once again, CBS didn’t seem to care about its viewers opinions.
I am so sorry that the show was cancelled. Please bring it back. I just watched the last episode tonight and I will miss the characters and the story.
That was one of the funnest tv show in a long time. I loved it and was very very disappointed it was cancelled, I love the “Mayhem” man. Please bring it back.
Bring it back. Much better TV fare than lots of shows still airing.
Please bring back this great show!
Please bring this great show!
PLEASE CBS OR NETFLIX, bring back this GRRRRREAT show!!!
great show and better than most of the shows on now. love the characters and especially love Russ’s character. the humor and the interactions between all the characters made it a fun show to watch.
Why do we keep poor shows but cancel a great show like this…bring it back please!
Exactly, Jason! Who is making these decisions, and why aren’t these family shows supported?
Great show!! Can it be renewed?
Really liked this show. It was refreshing and the characters were well chosen. Milt and Russ were well cast, perfect! Would like to see more episodes. Way more interesting than some of the real drivel that makes it year after year!
I really liked the show. I wish it was still running. I liked the characters and watched every episode.
Sorry to see the show go !! It was a great show with a good balance of Comedy and Drama. Just shows where this old system is . Other shows with half the class and and no talent, but nudity and foul language will continue , but the good clean shows won’t. I don’t have much time to watch TV, but when I do, watched Battle Creek episodes on Netflix. I don’t get involved in Politics and have never written a post about anything. I just got on the computer to see when the next season started. Hope to see… Read more »
