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?
Totally enjoy the show and bringing in new family characters.
GREAT SHOW !!!! I do not like TV but I turn it on for this show. Keep it going
I wasn’t crazy about season 3 when it started, but as it went on the evolution of Kitty brought the show back up to snuff. This season’s addition of John Noble as Morland Holmes really added a new and intriguing element to the show, and I thought this fourth season brought the show back to greatness. I’m hoping that the fifth season will focus on the core characters again like the first two seasons largely did. The only thing this dude really can’t abide by is the move to Sunday nights; I don’t enjoy football anyway, and I don’t appreciate… Read more »
Love this show. It’s twist and turns keeps me glued to the TV. Thank you for keeping it CBS
LOVE THIS SOPHISTICATED SHOW, WITH THE WRITERS BUILDING ON THE ORIGINAL SHERLOCK DEDUCTIONS , WITH MODERN WORLD SPINS.
I think the show should go back to thursday. It’s on a football Sunday and many might miss it because of conflict and delay air time. It’s not like hulu repeats the episodes. It is more intriguing then ever. Sherlock and Watson have a strong relationship, and sibling bond, I want to see more.
Terrific show. Look forward to Elementary each week. Superb acting, complex plots, subplots, and sophisticated script writing. If it were on an hour earlier, you’d attract more viewers! Highly original departure from the boring crime dramas. I often think I’m watching a PBS mystery series, it’s that good.
Great show record so I won’t miss it renew it!
Elementary was a decent show until John Noble came on as his dad. Now unwatchable for me.
I’m so happy it’s been renewed. I love it, I read, and reread the complete works by Doyle until the hard bound cover came apart in my youth. Love
Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu and the writing. Some of that dry, wry, humor
is great.
I do watch Elementary every week. It is my favorite show & I do record it so I can watch it again. I also record the reruns. I’m glad it moved to Sundays because I was missing it when football started on CBS.
We look forward to “Elementary,” the new as well as rerun shows. It is one of our favorite shows, so well acted with a great cast and smartly scripted. We hope it continues a long run.
Keep it coming. I think this is one of the best shows going. Finally a show I like that isn’t summarily cancelled. Great actors and Lucy Liu is always worth watching.
I’m VERY happy Elementary has been renewed!! I LOVE this show!!! No matter WHAT night CBS broadcasts it on, I watch it over ANY competitor.
I LOVE this show! I hope it continues for at least several more seasons to come! It really is so well-written. I love Sherlock’s quirkiness, down to his odd facial contortions when he is thinking or reacting in disbelief or something. Again, I LOVE this showl
