Elementary TV Show on CBS: Ratings (Cancelled or Season 7?)

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.
