"Battle Creek" good, fire bad!

What impressed me most about "Battle Creek," was the writer's references, i.e. tributes, in the premier episode, to Tom Selleck and James Garner, and the "Rockford" TV show, as "Chamberlain" and "Agnew" clearly reprise the character concepts set down by "Lance White" (aka, Tom Selleck), as the perfect private eye, who follows all of the rules and always comes out on top of any situation, and "Jim Rockford," the seasoned private eye, who plays it by ear and definitely not by anyone's rules, but usually winds up a day late and a dollar short.

We're not talking plagiarism here, we're more inclined toward seeing it as taking a concept and expanding on it. I will definitely put this on my "Most Wanted" list.

The hopeful news is, that even as early as the first episode, unlike "Lance White" and "Jim Rockford," I saw Chamberlain and Agnew learning from each other, implying a movement by each toward a central way of thinking, which I attribute to excellent screen writing by David Shore et al.
