"Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan has found his next post-"Breaking Bad" series: "Battle Creek," which he will executive produce alongside "House" creator David Shore for CBS, which has already given the project a 13-episode order.
The series, which will debut in the 2014-2015 television season, is based on a spec script that was written by Gilligan a decade ago. Shore is expected to do a second pass on the script to update it, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and will serve as showrunner on the series, while Gilligan is reportedly interested in directing the pilot.
Lame. CBS and sounds like another take on the cliche "Odd couple detectives". Add to the fact that Vince isn't the Show runner and is just producing and I'm not getting my hopes up.
Still, gotta believe everyone of us will watch the pilot just because it is Gilligan.

Producing is a big deal, because a producer is hands on and in charge of the vision and final product. An executive producer is the empty title. They are just the "money" typically.
