Elementary

[Mysterious Benefactor]

And much to my horror they are moving it to Sunday night. I could just cry,  lol.

I hope that's not because you won't be able to watch it anymore. Although, if getting the DVDs isn't in play, you could hopefully catch what you might miss during rerun season...

For me it's moving from being opposite one show that I like (How To Get Away With Murder) to being opposite another show that I like (Quantico). But that's why the DVR was invented.

Sunday nights on CBS always seem to get extended by sports games and usually messes up the timing sequence for recording - if I even remember to look to see if games are on. I'd rather watch it on demand than having it cut into three segments. That's the biggest part of it, anyway. And then there's the inevitable consequences of moving a show around, like losing viewers and getting cancelled.

Because it's done so well so far this season, it would have to do absolutely dreadfully on Sunday to get canceled. But of course, CBS hopes it will do even better on Sunday (which is often the night when the most people watch TV) and help their Sunday ratings.

I suppose we shall see what happens. Though the first hint won't come until the 21st after the first Sunday ep has run...

Just a reminder:

WHAT TO WATCH TONIGHT March 20, 2016
Fox's Live Passion, Elementary Moves, Ice Age and More


And, dom, I see in the comments section that others share your pain...

I remembered to cue the two following shows at least.

Upon moving to Sunday, not only did Elementary hold onto its Thursdays' viewership numbers, it retained its 1st place finish in its timeslot (despite being delayed more than 30 minutes in the ET/CT time periods), and it did so by besting #2 by 2.1 million viewers in the Fast Overnights.

Hooray!

CBS has renewed Elementary - yay!!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

   Excellent news, dom - thanks so much for sharing it!    But no shock there - especially after it did so well this past Sunday. 

I've been so busy that I haven't had the chance to check out any entertainment news today. It'll be very interesting once I get to see what the renewal articles are saying...

CBS has gone stark raving mad - you'll see.

JLM is certainly keeping up the good work - he seemed especially good last night. There is a two hour episode coming up in two weeks, I believe, that I am really looking forward to. I loved him in Shadows12. Did he have any cut scenes that showed up on the DVD?

And he's on board for Trainspotting II.

Well, I guess the headline says it all:

Ratings: Elementary, Game Night Only Shows to Hold Steady on Easter

And it's interesting that both those shows are on opposite each other. Though Elementary, which was once again #1 in its time period, bested #2 by 1.9 million viewers in the Fast Overnights, which was slightly less than last week - but it's still more that it was besting #2 on Thursdays.

When next season's schedule comes out (usually sometime in May), it'll be interesting to see ifElementary stays on Sunday, moves back to Thursday, or possibly even gets put somewhere else...

Elementary Boss Talks 'Alluring' Family Twist, Whether (Spoiler) Is Coming

Last night's double feature was awesome - good crime drama and good personal drama.

And ratings-wise Elementary continues to do well on Sunday. Its 9pm showing wasn't #1 in its time period (because NBC threw a new Little Big Shots against it), but according to the article I read it was on a par with what The Good Wife does in the period (and even better than what Elementary has been doing at 10), and its 10pm showing remained #1 in its time period, besting #2 by 1.3 million viewers in the Fast Overnights.
