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?
One of the best shows on TV. Very glad it has been renewed
Actually, I love this show. I gives me new ways to think about things.
Its is a great show. Never miss an episode even if I can’t watch it on the air night I watch it on demand or online, but never miss it;
I am so happy it is coming back. In the past, I had problems understanding the soft spoken character of Sherlock, but I would watch it again. I have grown to immensely enjoy the dry humor and the wittiness of Sherlock and the close exchange of him and Watson. They understand each other so well. The cast is truly a family.
Keep elementary it’s a great show
I never miss an episode of Elementary. I agree, it’s smart TV. We have so much mind-numbing entertainment on the set that it’s refreshing to find something that makes you think. I find that I have to rewind sometimes to get all of the dialogue. Imagine, real dialogue and not just some car chase scen ending in an explosion.
I love elementary. It is smart tv. I hope it continues to be renewed!
Elementary is one of my favorite shows. (I now watch it on damand since I am never home on Sunday night)
The people I know,who watch it, also love it. BUT many people I know never heard of it. Some how the appeal of the show is hidden. The ads DO NOT convey the intellegent and addictive fun of the series
We never miss an episode! Just because the lame-brained youth can’t appreciate a good mystery (where one might have to THINK to find it intriguing), is no reason to punish the rest of us. They do a great job of pulling together facts to solve the crimes — the acting is great . . . PLEASE RENEW !!!
We love the show. Never miss it but would miss it. We do have to turn up volume because soft spoken. Think need better microphones when making series. If people can’t hear they might not watch. Love it
Very glad to hear Elementary will be renewed look forward to it every week
I think that they should renew most of CBS show. I do believe that they should cancel all of those stupid reality shows. They have no plot they make American youth believe that anyone who goes on the Internet can be a star. That being outrageous is the key to success. My 10 yr old son wants to do crazy things so he will be a star.
Such a relief to know one of our favorite shows has been renewed. We would miss it so much if it had been canceled .
I am EXCITED that Elementary was renewed for a fifth season. Elementary is my main show that I’m anxiously awaiting every week. I would be DEVASTATED if it was canceled.
Renewal is great news! This is thinking person TV (along with Madam Secretary).
