Elementary Gets a Prime Viewing Slot

The modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes has just landed the coveted post-Super Bowl time slot. CBS says Elementary, starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, will screen a special episode after the Super Bowl broadcast on Sunday, February 3, 2013 (sometime around 10pm-ish). The freshman series has come out of the gates to impressive ratings, averaging 14.2 million viewers. It currently ranks as the #2 new series on television this season, according to CBS. (Vegas holds the top spot at 14.5 million viewers).
 
The Details:
 
Elementary stars Miller as eccentric, mischievous detective Sherlock Holmes and Liu as Dr. Joan Watson, a former surgeon turned sober companion. Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, Sherlock escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare – a sobriety coach. Now running free in New York solving crimes, it’s simple deduction that he’s going to need someone to keep him grounded, and it’s elementary that it’s a job for Watson.
 
Also, Aidan Quinn stars as Capt. Thomas Gregson, who knows from previous experience working with Scotland Yard that Sherlock is brilliant at closing cases, along with Jon Michael Hill, who portrays Det. Marcus Bell, a top-notch investigator who is initially skeptical of Holmes and his unorthodox methods.
