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?
NBC renewed The Mysteries of Laura, which is a similar type of show as Battle Creek BUT not half as entertaining and gritty. NBC kept Community I believe when the cult following spoke up and that show was really lame in my opinion. Friday Night Lights came back after viewers complained… SO we are complaining and reaching out to CBS to do the same for Battle Creek. It has the flavor of the acclaimed mini series Fargo… I had read that you, CBS, were going to move it to Monday night…and then the cancellation news. Everyone who has been voicing… Read more »
I’m 48 & in the 19-49 year old demographics. Please don’t cancel Battle Creek!! It’s 1 of a very few shows I make a point to watch. Really enjoy it!
Keep Battle Creek going. Give it more time to find it’s audience.
Please do not cancel. It is one of the best shows on tv. I love Dean Winters as Russ . Do not cancel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoy this show. I hope whoever makes these decisions rethinks this. It didn’t get a fair chance.

Don’t cancel this series. I do not know what your target audience is but I am a 62 year old man and I love this show. I watch it every week. The characters are interesting and I look forward to it every week.
This is one of the most refreshing dramedies on TV. The quirky characters are lovable and endearing. It is intelligent, and well written. If ratings are less then expected it is because of the unfortunate time slot. It does not deserve to be canceled.
My husband and I love Battle Creek.. the characters and story line are a great fit. it should be given another chance at a better time slot. A shame when good shows are not given a fair chance. Too good to cancel.
My husband and I love this show. Please don’t cancel it. Maybe moving to another night during the week would bring in more viewers.
Canceling this show is too premature. My wife and I love this show. Please reconsider and maybe air it on another night to find its right time. It deserves another chance!
Battle creek has all the elements of a sucessful show great team of like able characters humor and intelligence all it needs is more time!! Sell it to another network or don’t cancel!!
We love this show. It should have been renewed.
I can’t believe this show is cancelled. Great show! Try another time slot or something. It just didn’t have time to develop an audience.
I love Battle Creek and am so disappointed it has been canceled! I love the characters and want to see them developed further. It would be great if it could be continued for a long time. Please make it happen!
