Battle Creek

[Icelandic Woman]

This new show debuts on Sunday March 1st. From all the promos I have seen it looks like it might be pretty good. So I am going to check it out.

Is anyone else?

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

I'll likely check this one out - for two reasons. I like crime dramas/FBI type stories - and I like the acting of Josh Duhamel - plus he's turned into one handsome man.

I first started watching him on All My Children as "Ryan's" younger brother "Leo Du Pres". Later on "Las Vegas" (replacing James Caan as the casino's head of security), and the movie "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton".

For those not in the know, he was also the Official Pace Car Driver for the 2009 Indy 500.

I am actually more familiar with Dean Winters from Law & Order SVU.

Isn't Battle Creek, Michigan where we sent our boxtops/coupons/I don't remember whatall when we kids to get our cheap yet greatly anticipated toy from the cereal box?

[Icelandic Woman]

No clue Malarky I never did that.

[Icelandic Woman]

Eh I wasn't bowled over. But pilots are usually a little rough. It usually takes a little time for the characters to mesh together. Pretty much all the joke like scenes I had already seen in the promos so they fell a little flat. I will give this a little more time.

[lexxy703]

I felt about the same Ice.  I'll give it a few more tries & let the characters develop a little & see how it goes.  I'll most likely watch it because everything else is winding down for the season.

[Icelandic Woman]

Apparently the premier ratings were bad and there is already talk about it being cancelled. I am not surprised since they stuck in what I call the Death Slot. They put old shows there to die a slow death.

I just set it to record & watch when I feel like it.  I heard somewhere that if you don't watch it within 24 hrs it doesn't count toward their ratings.  I'm not sure if that is true.  I wouldn't be surprised if they can monitor when it is watched.

I believe they count 7 days of DVR viewing.

[Icelandic Woman]

Eh still not getting into it. I will probably watch till the end of the season just to see if it gets better. I don't know how many shows they are slated to show since it started so late in the season.

[Chocolate Lover]

I keep forgetting it's on.

It took the place of CSI so I already had that time slotted.

[Chocolate Lover]

I wasn't remembering to watch CSI either. lol 

[lexxy703]

I have it recorded but haven't viewed it yet.  Based on Icey's post it won't be on the top of my viewing list tonight.  It wasn't anyway really.

[Icelandic Woman]

Last Sunday's was a bit better.

[lexxy703]

I liked the second one with the maple syrup.  I t cracked me up & the part with the cop & the medical marijuana.

I'm still one behind.  I'll probably watch it tonight.

[Icelandic Woman]

I did like last Sunday's episode. I will always like it when dogs are featured in any show.
I thought it was hilarious that in a previous episode Cookie the Police K-9 ran down a kid with drugs in her backpack but in this episode she tracked down a Kentucky Fried Chicken box instead of one of her own kind.

[Icelandic Woman]

This show is starting to grow on me. I think it is getting better. So I will probably stick with it unless it gets cancelled since the ratings have not been that good.

[lexxy703]

The show is pissing me off!  During the March madness crap I guess the games ran late so instead of recording Battle Creek I recorded The Good Wife twice.  Then I went to view one & it showed it had recorded but when I hit play I got a message that it hadn't recorded then last week it said there was an error in the recording.  This is the only show this is happening with.  I think they are trying to force me to watch it in real time or ondemand so I have to sit through the commercials

I don't know if I like it well enough for that.

[Icelandic Woman]

I liked the last episode. What a coup for them to get Candice Bergen to guest. I love her! And since she is playing Russ' Mom hopefully we will see more of her!

[movingforward]

The more I watch this show the more I like it.

[Icelandic Woman]

This show has been cancelled.

[lexxy703]

I really started to like it!

Me too! It got better every week but it was in the CBS death slot. Nothing survives there.

Since I record everything I don't really know what comes on when.  I know what night they are on but not the time.

9pm here, last show in prime time before the news. Oh and it really surprises me since the 2 shows before it have great ratings and are consistently in the top 25 and have been renewed.

Madame Secretary and The Good Wife. I like both of them but don't watch them 1st run.

I don't watch either but I should have remember The Good Wife.  During basketball finals the games ran late & instead of recording Battle Creek I got The Good Wife.
