Jonny Lee Miller's Elementary (SHIRTLESS ALERT: Reply #21)

[Mysterious Benefactor]

I see where Elementary has been nominated for three Teen Choice awards:

2013 Teen Choice Awards nominees
Choice TV Show: Action - "Elementary"
Choice TV Actress: Action - Lucy Liu, "Elementary"
Choice TV Actor: Action - Jonny Lee Miller, "Elementary"

CBS must be happy with this development because normally their shows skew much older than teenagers. But apparently there must be a sizable teenage audience for the show to have received any nominations at all, much less three in one the major TV categories.

In this week's Ask Matt column on tvguide.com both a writer and Matt Roush lament that JLM wasn't nominated for an Emmy this year.

The first season DVD is now listed for pre-order on Amazon (though the price at the moment is a ridiculous $43.29) with a release date of August 27th:

Elementary: The First Season

There are no extras listed - though that could simply be because it's too early. But what is odd is that there's no listing for a Blu-ray release.

For those who may be interested, Entertainment Tonight did a short segment during last night's closing credits about how JLM will be interviewed as well as appear on the cover of the next issue of CBS Watch! magazine:

The issue will be on newsstands on July 30th.

Thanx for the latest & the pix, MB.

Speaking of pix, I haven't forgotten about the screen grabs I promise to do from the finale - I just haven't had the chance to do them.

And in other Elementary news, check out CBS Ponders the Importance of Social Media by scrolling down to the "Discovery of existing shows" section, which is all about how Elementary audience nearly doubled after DVR playback, Video-on-Demand and online viewers were added to its "live" viewers. And if that wasn't interesting enough, apparently "the show continues to draw in new viewers, even in the summer months." Honestly, I haven't been paying attention to the summer ratings lately. But when I was I did notice that Elementary was consistently coming in 1st in its time slot. And if many of those watching "live" reruns are new viewers, that can only be a good thing so far as the upcoming second season goes.

Surprisingly enough (not that I don't think she should have won - I do because she's excellent on the show), I see where Lucy Liu won:

Choice TV Actress: Action: Lucy Liu, “Elementary”

Unfortunately, though, the show lost out to NCIS: Los Angeles, and JLM lost out to NCIS:LA's LL Cool J.

Oh, congrats to Lucy!  And it's great that she (and the show, to even be nominated) is a hit among teens, since that seems to be such an important demographic for movies and TV shows these days (us old fuddy-duddies and our tastes are less important  )  As for Jonny, there's always next year!  Elementary is probably my favorite broadcast TV show right now, and I hope it has a long and successful run!

'Elementary': Lucy Liu Initially Turned Down The Role Of Joan Watson On CBS' Sherlock Holmes Series

Very interesting that both leads initially turned down doing the show.

I completely forgot about this until I was looking through the DVD/Blu-ray sales in the store flyers earlier today (yes, I know the flyers came out on Sunday and the new DVDs/Blu-rays came out yesterday, but you know how behind I always am  ). I was surprised to see that Best Buy has the set for $39.99. That's almost as ridiculous as Amazon's originally listed price!    But I noticed that Amazon now has the set for $27.99, as does Target. And Target has an exclusive of over 25 minutes of bonus content. Though what that normally features is an extra disc featuring a Paley Center panel. Not that those panels aren't interesting - but they're often something that only the really big fans of a show will find interesting.

Two very interesting things, though. One is that the set is not being sold on Target's Web site, only in stores, and this is the first time I've ever noticed something like that. And the other is that it really does seem as if there's no Blu-ray release because I can't find one listed anywhere, which is very odd.

A friend picked up the DVD set in Target last week and tells me that the extra disc is not a Paley Center panel. It actually contains:

• Elementary Supersized: The Making of the Episode that Aired on Big Game Day
• CBS Launch Promo: Behind the Scenes
• Photo Montage
• Actor Biographies

And unfortunately for those who would be interested, there are no shirtless JLM shots in the photo montage.  [ghost_nowink]

Also also unfortunately, the set is no longer discounted at Target (now it's a ridiculous $43.29). But that will no doubt change as the holidays gets closer - and perhaps some stores will still have a few sets with the extra disc.

What the Hell is "Big Game Day"? *imagines legions of teams all over the US sitting around football field sized Monopoly boards or TWISTER cloths*

And what doofus decreed that the ravishing shots of JLM displaying that luscious chest of his should be excluded?

People really are beyond one...
