In the past few years, the CBS TV show, Elementary, has moved from Thursday nights, to Sundays, and in the sixth season, it has a new home on Mondays. How much will that affect the ratings — which were never stellar and have fallen some each year? Will Elementary be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned. *See status update below.
An updated take on the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, the Elementary TV show stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson. The CBS TV series also stars Aidan Quinn as Captain Thomas Gregson and Jon Michael Hill as Detective Marcus Bell, with Desmond Harrington in the role of Michael. The story centers on Holmes and Watson, as they help the NYPD investigate the trickiest crimes in New York City.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
9/18 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The fifth season of Elementary on CBS averaged a 0.64 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.827 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Elementary TV series? Should this CBS TV show be cancelled or renewed for season seven?
*5/12/18 update: CBS has renewed the Elementary TV show for a seventh season. Details here.
Love Elementary! Please renew it! I’ll even watch the commercials if you do!
Great ending to season 6! The move to London! Glad it got renewed; next year should be a good one. Can’t wait!
Best show on TV
Great writers!
Bring it back!
I will no longer be watching Elementay due to your new and distasteful anti 2nd Amendment stance. First removing the Rube Goldberg device with rotating revolvers followed by a screed on ineffective “gun buy back” failed programs having ill gotten gains paying for them is the epitome of chutzpah.
Are you now going to remove guns from all your other cop shows? Great way to court failure for your entire line up. I have posted this on my Facebook timeline as well as the NRA website.
Fantastic show! Please keep it going!
This is the most intelligent show on Network TV. Love Jonny Lee Miller’s take on Sherlock’s behavior – totally original. This is my favorite show.
That so wrong that add Sunday one episode announce it no idea that on last night. I love the show need boost up pinch ratings slip this year summer.
