Will Elementary return for season six? The CBS series is nearing the end of its fifth season and has not been renewed. What do you think? Should the TV show be cancelled or renewed for another season?
The drama follows eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Doctor Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) as they help solve crimes in modern-day New York. The cast also includes Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill.
Given ratings alone, a renewal for Elementary looks uncertain. Currently, season five is averaging a 0.67 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 4.975 million viewers — low numbers for CBS. However, despite the poor ratings, Deadline reports a season six renewal seems likely.
First, Elementary is completely owned by CBS, making a renewal easier and more profitable for the network. Additionally, the series has lucrative off-network and SVOD deals with WGN America and Hulu Plus that bring in “as much as $3 million total per episode.”
Are you a fan of Elementary? Do you think the show has run its course? Would you watch a sixth season? Please take the poll and tell us what you think.
Love this smart show. The sad point is cbs has it at 10 on Sunday, certain death and they know it. When will networks stop bouncing shows around, they know they lose viewers. Smart shows are few and far apart anymore. Please stop messing with great shows not all of us watch stupid, that’s what the off utton is for!
RENEW! My fav show. I have AT&T Uverse which has 6 times this season screwed up the record time so Madam Secretary has run over by 20+ minutes. I’m sure this has had an impact on the show since recording of it has been so unreliable. I still love it and will watch it on my laptop if need be : )
My husband and I love Elementary – show and cast. Please renew it and put it in a stable time slot- not after sporting events that exceed tome scheduled and cause delays or episode cancellation. This is a great show!
Please renew!!! My favorite show!
Please renew this program! This program is one of the few that I religiously DVR so I can watch it again and again.
I want this show renewed! It is one of the best ones out there! All the characters have developed over the years making this a very enjoyable program! Please leave it on…..PLEASE!!!
One of my favorite shows. Please continue
Please renew. Our favorite show right now. It would also be nice if the time slot was changed. Following sports events results in too many late starts or no sjow at all!
Elementary should be RENEWED for several,seasons! And it should be moved back to THURSDAYS!! It is the best show of its kind and it seems that Perhaps someone at CBS doesn’t like it cause they moved it to Sunday’s. That could kill their ratings. Return to Thursday’s and add several more seasons!
Bring it back, on a different night at a decent time and it will do amazing! Period.
Amen!!!
This is one of the smartest shows on TV. Sherlock is such a delightful curmudgeon, and I like the fact that there is very little violence on this show. Please renew it!
Bring this show back. Sherlock & Joan are great. There is less shock gore & Sherlock’s theory tests are entertaining. I will watch pretty much anything with Aidan Quinn so he puts a nice spin on the police aspect. I would like to see Sherlock’s lady friend with Asperger’s be a more frequent guest as she humanizes him. So please move this to another night so I don’t have to remember to record the news as this show is delayed by football during that whole season.
I so look forward to seeing Elementary each Sunday. Please do not cancel. If it is cancelled I won’t have anything worth watching.
Why, tis elementary my dear CBS! Just say YES!
This is a smart show, with interesting characters and really about solving mysteries, not about gruesome remains and gory details. I think Watson’s character is brilliant, Holmes is compelling and the NYPD’s looking good too.
We need Sherlock and Joan and the Captain and Detective.
Lower ratings can surely be largely attributed to viewer confusion caused by shorter seasons and interrupted and delayed show times, especially on Sunday nights.
