Holmes and Watson will be back solving cases next season. CBS has renewed the Elementary TV show for a fourth season.
A contemporary update on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle characters, Elementary follows eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Doctor Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) as they help solve crimes in New York. Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill co-star.
The series has taken a big hit in the ratings this year. The third season is averaging a 1.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.44 million viewers. That’s down by 25% in the demo and down by 15% in total viewers.
Still, it seemed a certainty that Elementary would be renewed for a fourth year. The next season’s installments will give the crime drama enough episodes for a potentially lucrative syndication package.
What do you think? Do you like the Elementary TV show? Do you think the fourth season should be its last? Would you like to see any changes made to the show — to help attract better ratings?
Look forward to Thursday night because of Sherlock Holmes. Don’t cancel this show.
My sister and I enjoy watching Elementary – we enjoy the relationship development between the characters, the various twists, and keep looking forward to more episodes.
Please keep it on the air!
Elementary is one of the only TV shows I watch. I am in my 60s now and most shows are simply to stupid to be entertaining. I enjoy the interplay amongst the characters and the excellent writing. I’m fascinated by the weaving of personal afflictions/vices into stories of crime solving. I know every cop show does that but this one does it with panashe.
This is one of the few shows on tv that I enjoy. Most of television is trash and not worth spending time watching I hope it stays on forever.
My husband and I love this show. We love the playoff between the characters. Also the crimes are very intriguing. It is so much better than other shows out there. Please keep it going.
I enjoy the quiet wittiness of the characters. They all appear to talk with purpose, listen to each other and accept the other’s quirks! Yes, they are all flawed, but I like their individual personalities! I very much appreciate the lack of yelling, name calling, and the characters NOT partner swapping! All that tiresome drama can be found in abundance by switching channels! Love, love this show! Please, can we keep it?! Forever?!
I love this program and I will hate to see it end with only four seasons.
Must keep this show going. ELEMENTARY is GREAT TV, and totally addictive. Love it–all of it.
This show surpasses the norm–so far, and as long as the writers aren’t changed. The story lines are well focused and one’s attention does not wander. It’s such a satisfying show all around and the actors never fail in their superb portrayal of their characters. Loved the current PBS portrayal, (though Brett was the best) but this one is better! Unbelievable that CBS hasn’t let the fascists of the industry ruin this concept of Doyle’s masterpiece.
(P.S. Would like to see Kitty return.)
Please never cancel this show! It is wonderful, very informative, and the acting and plots are terrific. I look forward to every episode. Thank you!
love It!! Please bring it back.
Renew! Please bring the series Elementary back.
Absolutely brilliant a 4th and a 5th series should be made…keep it going it’s fabulous
I love Elementary show just the way it is. It’s clever, Lucy is so cute and clever and is great opposite Holmes. And Holmes is played perfectly based on the many old SH stories I have read over the years.
Please keep this great show going.
My wife and I love the show. It would be terrible for us to lose it. It is especially enjoyable when there is abundant interplay between the characters and not just Holmes and Watson.
