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?
Elementary is a great show, the acting is good and the story lines are brilliant. Not the same old plots or cloak and dagger stuff. Ingenious.
Our favorite show on television; it out ranks all others for content and intelligent engagement.
Agreed.
Elementary is one of the few series I have my DVR set to record. I also like Big Bang Theory, NCIS, MacGyver. I miss Person of Interest!
Love he show but season five is below par. The writing has fallen in quality. Hope they work that out and resume the higher standards from previous seasons.
Love Elementary and all the cast. Please keep it on. What I like is, it is not too sexual, unpleasant murder scenes, makes you think, all around good entertainment. Also like that Sherlock’s assistant Watson is female and an Asian at that.
I love this show. Should keep it going. It’s a mine teaser…
Starting to hate tv. Every time you like a tv show the network cancels it. Almost everyone can record four shows at once. We love the show. It is not losing steam.
Please keep Elementary my husband and I love it!
Love Elementary, every time I like a show it gets cancelled. Please keep it!
I really like this show. It is well written and the casting is perfect. I also appreciate the realistic depiction of the addiction issues faced by Holmes. Wherever CBS moves it, I will do my best to tune in.
Love the show!! It is one of the few I watch as soon as it is available. Do Not Cancel.
Having watched tv since 1947 and always a huge fan of well written detective shows, let me just say what I love to say: I LOVE THIS SHOW! It’s better than Cumberbatch’s on PBS and while I love those characters, the writing just doesn’t measure up to the writing of Miller’s show. And no one can match Liu’s Watson! Each show would do Doyle proud and please, you guys “up there”, do not look to any cancellation! (Other superb American mysteries: Colombo and Monk.) And PBS seems to have lost an interest in the quality of their presentations of the… Read more »
Elementary is a wonderful show and we never miss an episode. However..
Please add ‘ upper and mid frequencies ‘ to the television voice track.
The mix is muddy, inaudible at times, and many subtleties in Sherlock’s character are unfortunately and literally ” lost in the mix “.
Glad it’s not just me! I have to watch with closed captioning and will tape so I can rewind if I still didn’t understand something.
Love this show. So glad that it is coming back.
I Love Love Love this show. Please don’t cancel it! I even watch the reruns on cable channels.
