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 ELEMENTARY. The acting is superb the story lines are intriguing and suspenseful. Will there be a season 6?
Love Elementary!!! Please do Not ever cancel! Great show! Actors make it and stories of seeking out the drama of who.
We Love ELEMENTARY and we want it to be renewed like. FOREVER !
Love elementary good show. Enjoy watching
Keep Elementary on a dedicated night. It isn’t losing viewers due to the content because solid and consistently well performed. But it’s difficult to view a show when the network keeps playing hide and seek with it.
I truly enjoy this drama! I’m glad it has been picked up for another season. But I’m cautiously optimistic that Elementary will be renewed again if the show continues to lose viewership
please do not cancel… you keep moving this show… Thursday night was bad due to football.. give it a chance on Sundays.. put it at right before NCID L.A. forget madam secretary…..
We enjoy the show immensely but the current time slot is too late for us so we have to record it. It seems to be one of the few of the over the air programs that has not become an evening “soap opera”. We have chosen not to invest in cable television in favor of supporting Oregon Public Broadcasting but we particularly enjoy the story lines and casting involved in airing this series. We would indeed be sorry to see it removed from the lineup! Thankyou!
Elementary is a great show but they keep moving it? Other shows that CBS promotes in better time slots are not all that good. CBS does have the best overall line up of shows! I don’t understand why Elementary has dropped so much, the characters and storylines are still top notch.
It is dropping because they moved it to such a late spot on Sunday. Sometimes I think they deliberately try to kill off shows. Half time when it was supposed to come on, it was following a football game or something else which had thrown off the schedule and came on even later. GREAT show but the schedule is making it hard to watch.
I reallly enjoy Elementary. It doesn’t depend on crued nude or bloody scenes. It has fantastic story lines, it’s at times comedic and heart-wrenching. Not to mention fantastic acting. It seems to me that when the show is moved a lot of the times it seems to be cancelled. Hopefully that is not the case here. I’m tired of shows that depend on sex and drugs to stay alive. Shouldn’t we be over that already. Time and time again we will speak of our mental well-being. This can’t happen for the older generation and especially the younger generation when they’re… Read more »
I love this show
We love the show and have watched it since its inception. Although, the network execs have put it in the worst possible time slot. Who’s up on Sunday evening after a full day of football, partying and the end of a full busy weekend? We currently DVR.
My husband and I love this show! Smart, wonderful acting, interesting story lines. Would really hate to see it go!!! One of the few programs we set to DVR so not to miss.
Please keep this show!!!
I love this show, no wait, i am addicted to it.
Please do not cancel it. It is different than so many other tv shows.
I just hope they can get lucy lius character to become more of her old self. I miss her kindness and their warmer relationship they built up
Elementary is a great show. I watch the new season and the reruns. I’m sorry John Noble has left the show. I enjoy watching him. He’s such an elegant man 🙂
