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?
This is our favorite show…….PLEASE do not cancel it!
PLEASE don’t cancel. Moving it around does not help the ratings. ABC did that with FOREVER, one of the few intelligent shows ABC had. Is there any way you could “reboot” it? The reruns are on CW Seed. ABC moved it around and preempted so many times no wonder the show had low ratings.
I look forward to every new episode although I have had trouble getting it sometimes. It keeps moving around. Please do not cancel. This is one of the better shows on TV. Love the cast and the plots.
I love this show. Please do not cancel!!!!
This is the BEST show on TV! The characters are fascinating and the plots are intriguing, with witty and intelligent dialogue. This is a HIGH QUALIITY production in everyway. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!
wonderful show and it should not be in any danger of being cancelled if they are smart. One of my favorite shows.
Still wonderful. I hope it returns for season 6
I hope they do not cancel Elementary! It is the only series I watch (and I believe is worth watching) on network TV that is not on PBS. It is a fantastic show! I wasn’t keen on the modern day twists at the beginning, but it is so good and Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, and Jon Michael Hill are such great actors which great chemistry, I was quickly won over. It may just be my favorite network show of all time.
Elementary is absolutely one of my few favourite tv shows. Love all the characters and the actors who play them. At first, I thought I wouldn’t like a female Watson but was quickly converted. The quality of the show is far above anything else I see. Johnny Lee Miiler plays the flawed Sherlock to perfection. I would love to watch it for a long time to come.
I love Elementary, look forward to watching it.
Not like the other rubbish that’s on television now.
I watch BBC shows they offer superior intellectual programming,
I ADORE this show!!
I’ve been avidly watching ‘Elementary’ on my Netflix, then yesterday, April 22, 2017, it vanished from Netflix!!! Where did it go? Must I sign up with CBS to view it there? Please advise! I miss my nightly shows!!!!! P.S. I first watched is from Spain and Copenhagen…. then back in California, it’s GONE from Netflix!!! HELP!!!
Very happy to see it renewed
Renewed? Not from what I read. The shown ended w/Sherlock being put into an MRI machine. We are to assume he has a fatal brain tumor. There were NO coming attractions, either.
Love this series!
My entire family, and, I Love, Elementary, one of the best shows
We love the show but it keeps getting knocked out of its posted time slot and even though I am recording it it’s NOT ON AT ITS DESIGNATED TIME.
During Football season the games often run so late which causes the shows after to be delayed. I set my recording to end 2 hours after the end of Elementary so I can hopefully get the entire show. Sometimes the entire first hour is the show on prior to Elementary.
