Making the Case for Platonic Partnerships on Procedural Dramas
Will they or won’t they? Agents and detectives don’t always need to break Rule #12.

Very nice!!  It's not just procedurals; I'd say just about any series, with medical dramas being high amongst them.  I could never figure out why there always had to be a sexual subtext in every show.

Sex sells.

Plus, a new episode of ‘Elementary.’

On CBS's Elementary (10/9c), shady tech billionaire Odin Reichenbach (James Frain) has an intriguing offer for Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu), involving the development of a program that could help predict future crimes. (Didn't we see this in Minority Report?) Speaking of which, our heroes help Detective Bell (Jon Michael Hill) look for an NYPD officer before he can carry out a sniper shooting…

I was quite surprised to see a preview for next week - I thought for sure they'd skip July 4.

"CBS | Elementary (3.1 mil/0.4) was steady"

[Josette]

In the past, a couple of times I mentioned when our newspaper highlighted Elementary for Thursday.  I assumed that was a good thing, that it was a particularly good episode or something.  Since I was surprised they had a new episode this week, presumably it wouldn't have much competition.  But, the only show they highlighted for Thursday is at noon on ESPN2 "2019 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest"!!!!!

Ratings: Macy's Fireworks Dim vs. 2018; Elementary Goes Low on Holiday

[Josette]

I still can't believe they put a new episode on.  Maybe since they know it's the last season they don't really care.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Chances are they ran a new ep because they knew that a rerun wouldn't have done well and networks want to get the most eyeballs as possible. Even though the show was down from normal, it was still more competitive with what was on the other networks. And there's always the 7 Day DVR ratings. I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't watch live on Thursday night. In fact, I've been so busy I still have yet to watch it...
