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?
Love the Show……would be better on different night than Sunday. Because of the delays – it is hard to know when it is on and also hard to record. Please don’t cancel the show – but find a better spot to have it air – a more consistent time slot.
Love this show. The writers, though, have lost some steam! Please change show from Sunday’s!!
L-O-V-E LOVE this show. Best on commercial television by far. So far never gets stale or convoluted, great chemistry between Liu, Miller, Hill & Quinn. Just all-around quality show.
If the ending is near.
Sherlock’s father killed his mother on the chess table
I guess that’s all I gotta say
My God, please DO NOT cancel Elemetary.
It is one of the most thought prevocing shows on the air.
I love Elementary it’s my #1 show. It’s the one show that I would be upset if it got canceled. The new time slot is killing the show though. It starts late every week. I just wish the network would give Elementary a time slot that would benefit the show instead of hurt it.
Very good, thoughtful TV show with deep story lines.
I really enjoyed the show. Been waiting and hoping it would come back.
I love Elementary, watch it every week.
I love the show. keep it going.
I love the show Elementary!! PLease keep it on and DO NOT cancel it!!! Wish it were on thurdays again!
‘Elementary’ is one of my TOP 5 shows. The scripts have been entertaining and challenging, but of late it seems the writers have started falling into ‘get it out’ syndrome. Within minutes it is obvious who the ‘bad guy’ is, and the rest of the show is just filler. Go back to being creative and make us work at figuring it out! Also, stop spending so much time on Sherlock’s addiction. Yes, it’s important, but so is allowing us to know he’s a real person. Bring back Moriarty, or give him some other ‘real human being’ type challenge.
I love this show but hate that it NEVER starts on time. I have the DVR set to tape extra but even with that it still cuts off the last few minutes. Nothing so frustrating as to watch 50 min of a show and not see ending! Please move the day it airs.
I love the show but why oh why has CBS buried it after the NFL game? To me, it means they have no confidence in the series. The game always run late and the DVR recorder doesn’t catch the series. The only way I can watch it is on Prime Time on Demand. Not very smart if you ask me…for what is essentially a good series with fine actors.
Perhaps this show doesn’t curry the favor needed for a good time slot because someone at CBS doesn’t think it has enough gore or blatant sex–other than Holmes’ comedic renditions–or that it offers itself as a soapbox for political or moral bias?
