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 read an article today that Elementary may be on the chopping block. My husband and I love this show. We can’t watch it at 10 but dvr it. Please don’t cancel!
My entire family, and, I Love, Elementary, one of the best shows on tv. My hope is that it continues for many more seasons. Please keep this great show.
This is a great series unlike any other . Could you please tell me what happened on 49 I expected a new one and it was a repeat not cool
Elementary’s move to Sunday at 10pm was the worst move. It constantly gets pushed back in time due to specials or games. I enjoyed the earlier seasons with the romantic tension between Holmes and Watson. The duo of Watson and Holmes need to spark some fire in their relationship as in earlier seasons or we may part ways.
Save Elementary. Love the show and characters.
Please keep elementary going. There are few shows on the air that are this entertaining with such good actors.
One of the best shows on TV. I’m so SICK of mindless TV. Here is a program that I can sink my teeth into for 60 minutes.

I love Elementary. It’s quick witted, the acting is good, Sherlock is intriguing. I’ve got my DVR set to record and could never understand why Secretary of State was on my DVR, a show I NEVER watch. Really annoying! Thankfully I can watch any episode I’ve missed on CBS app, but it’s annoying to not have it on my TV. I guess the problem is they changed the time. Another good show they’re trying to kill off I guess. No wonder Netflix does so well.
They’re really trying to kill this show off the way they did with CSI Miami and New York as well as The Mentalist. What they’ve moved into their old Thursday slot is repetitive and unimaginative. CBS doesn’t allow shows that build fan loyalty slowly or those that perform steadily to run their course.
CBS has killed this show by moving it to late Sunday night. I do not watch it anymore. I keep looking for this series to appear somewhere else on a network who really appreciates its value.
I enjoy this version of Sherlock & Watson very much. I hope they continue the series – even like it on Sundays!
I love the show and think it’s way too bad they moved it to such a crummy time slot. Too hard to find and it’s moved every time there’s a sporting event on. I persevere as it’s one of the best shows on CBS.
I like Elementary very much, I’m glad they renewed the series. I think the ratings are low because no one knows when it’s on. I thought it was canceled until I serendipitously saw it as I was flipping through the channels.
I love Elementary- I think it is very entertaining and the pairing of Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller is excellent. I hope the show continues for several more seasons. Please keep the show!
Great show – one of the best show on TV
