I see that Elementary is new tonight and will supposedly begin at its normal 10pm ET. Putting a new ep of the show on opposite the last hour of The Golden Globe Awards, when all the big awards will be announced, doesn't seem like a smart move to me. But CBS didn't ask me.  [snow_wink]

It''ll definitely be interesting to see the Overnights tomorrow...

Masterpiece is currently showing the new Sherlock series.  I had to wait until later to watch both, so I had back-to-back Sherlocks!  It's intriguing since both have been updated to the present, but are SO different!!

I am very close to starting up the PBS Sherlock Holmes. It's available on Netflix and having the entire series available is coaxing me as I wouldn't normally jump in to a show this late in the run. I am not overly fond of British television but the show comes highly recommended by a friend.

Sherlock is excellent - though very different from Elementary.

That's what I hear. And I have no intention on comparing one to the other. I love a good (and complicated) plot driven whodunit. Not so interested in character studies so I am hoping it will be more about the crime than Sherlock and Watson.

The Overnights for all the shows haven't been published yet (at least not on the site where I look for them), but as I suspected, here's an article that doesn't bode well for Elementary:

I haven't watched the latest ep yet, but normally the show is about 50/50 in those departments...

As one should expect I suppose. When Elementary went overboard in character driven arcs I bitched about that but now I really enjoy it because I am so invested in the characters. I guess 50/50 is best as it gives you nothing to bitch about, lol.

Well, color me surprised! Even though NCIS: Los Angeles and Madam Secretary both dipped in the Overnights, Elementary "was steady."  [thumb]

Apparently it's football playoffs that CBS has to worry about because all three of their Sunday shows dipped, with Elementary coming in #3 in its timeslot behind football on FOX and NBC. Though on the upside, it did bring in 2.1M more viewers that ABC's Conviction, which came in at #4 at 10pm among the big four networks. And the even better thing these days is that Elementary will no doubt add viewers once the Live+7 DVR numbers are added to the Fast Overnights. I mean, I didn't even watch Elementary live...

Elementary's Fast Nationals were up again versus the show's previous airing. It also looks as if it came in #1 in viewership in its time period.
