The game is afoot once more. Today, CBS announced they’ve renewed Elementary for a fifth season, which will air during the 2016-2017 season.
A modern update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes stories, Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson. The drama also stars Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill.
Currently in its fourth season, Elementary has seen some change this year. Recently, CBS moved the series from its usual Thursday timeslot to Sundays. The move doesn’t seem to have made a noticeable difference in the ratings. So far, this season has dipped by about 20%, with a 1.03 rating in the 18-49 demo and around 5.79 million viewers.
Today, the network announced 2016-17 season renewals of 10 other shows as well — 2 Broke Girls, The Amazing Race, Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0, Madam Secretary, Mom, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, Scorpion, and Survivor.
What do you think? Do you watch Elementary? Are you glad it’s been renewed or do you think the show is losing steam?
I love this show. But because I am an earlier riser I miss the show a lot late on Sunday. Please change the time slot
Please put it back in prime time. Sundays after the game I can’t even DVR it because it doesn’t begin on time.
Elementary is my favorite show. I think it’s well written and mostly believable. I hope you keep it on.
Love Elementary! Great show!
Enjoy watching Elementary immensely.. do NOT the network changing times and days of airing.. No wonder it’s ratings have slipped! Hopefully the network execs will read some comments and adjust accordingly (back to earlier, familiar times and days)
Elementary is great TV show. The station seems determined to kill it, though. How much harder are they going to make it just to watch this wonderful show? Moved it to Sunday at 10:00? Lot of times it doesn’t come on until 10:30 because of football. Are they not deliberately trying to ruin this show? No wonder fewer people are watching!
I have loved “Elementary” since it first aired and am a huge fan Jonny Lee Miller. I think the writing staff has come up with very appealing stories and I really enjoy the chemistry between the actors. I think JLM is an outstanding actor and I thoroughly enjoy his performances. I’m still hoping he will one day be awarded an Emmy.
Love this show. Sherlock talks a wee bit fast sometimes to understand him but he’s hilarious and Joan is a great straight-man.
I am a big fan of the show and it’s cast. It is one of the few shows that you can watch without being bombarded with a stream of curses or nudity. I really enjoy the emotional play of the characters,
Love this show and lead characters!. If ratings have dipped it’s because I was lost in space between the move and actual showings…. Please leave it on one night every week….
Love this show so much! Please continue!!
Yes I’m definitely glad — I’ve watched it since it began.
Yes I am glad it was renewed.It’s a good show, I soo look forward to watching it on sunday night. Too many of my favorite shows got cancelled because small minds could not handle them.
Love this show! I have been doing a binge watch on this one for the past few weeks. I am really glad to see they have another season coming out.
This is one of the best shows out! It’s hands down, one of the best written shows on TV today, and the actors are phenomenal. I hope they continue through at least season 10!
