Battle Creek - Next Vince Gilligan project - 3/1/15 (1 Viewer)

Battle Creek

Come Sunday night, I guess I'll be counting down the days until this premieres in 2014 some time.

 

[Premier]

Can't say I'm excited about a buddy cop show, but I'll watch anything he does now.

Potentional problems:

1) It's on CBS, which will seriously stifle creativity and control

2) Another detective show? Don't we already have enough of those?

3) Gilligan isn't actually showrunner.

 

[Premier]

I'm sure Gilligan has a lot of control over the show in his contract. Wouldn't worry about that.

Would love to see him get the call to write a third X-Files film. At the end of the series he was one of the few writers left who still had a good feel for what the show was really about.

Saw the preview for this show. Looks like it has potential. I like the two leads. The guy from Vegas and the Mayhem guy. I'll definitely be tuning in March 1st.

After seeing how good Saul was, it makes me even more excited to see how this goes.

Not bad.

First episode really didn't give me a lot of encouragement. Seems like typical major network schlock

Which considering it is on CBS, that will likely make it one of the most watched shows in the country.

Wouldn't be shocked if it gets great ratings. That doesn't mean that it will appeal to me.

 

[Capella]

Doesn't sound like Gilligan has much or even anything to do with the day to day of making this.

This thing is certain to be cancelled according to an article I read recently. I don't know how they know so soon. I want to at least check it out.

Any chance you can post that?

Certainly not good.

I couldn't find the exact thing I saw but I think this is essentially the same thing:http://www.inquisitr.com/1897092/cancelled-tv-shows-2015-21-tv-shows-predicted-to-be-seen-on-official-list/

Yeah, CBS is awful and yet dominates ratings.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Ratings were terrible again, last night. Which sucks, because I actually really like this show.

 

[TheIronSheik]

What's sad is, this show is pretty funny but no one is watching. If CBS would have just called it CSI: Battle Creek, ratings would have been through the roof!

Syrup cartel?

 

[chauncey]

Anyone still watching this? Did it get any better?

yesno

I missed the last episode. Seems like every episode so far has been preempted due to some sport running long, so my DVR misses it. I still watch on demand. As a cop show, it's pretty routine. Nothing ground breaking, and maybe a little cliche in spots. But I think it's very funny. The humor makes up for the cliche, and it has a running story line that I find interesting.

All that said, the ratings have been horrendous. It is pretty much certain to be cancelled.
