'Elementary' trailer: CBS bets on Jonny Lee Miller's brains and brawn
26 May 2012 12:15 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Here's something you won't see in the BBC's "Sherlock" starring Benedict Cumberbatch: Jonny Lee Miller's abs. Viewers will, however, see just that -- along with his ripped arms -- in "Elementary" which is set to air Thursday nights this fall on CBS.
In a new trailer, Holmes and Watson (Joan Watson, played by Lucy Liu) meet. She's his sober companion, but also a disgraced surgeon who can't bring herself to return to the Or after losing a patient. Holmes is a recovering addict who has mysteriously transplanted himself from London to New York to help the NYPD solve crimes using just his superior intellect and an amazing capacity to roll marbles across the floor.
If you're looking for an intellectual workout ala "Sherlock," keep watching the BBC version. But "Elementary" looks like it might be a fresh take on the procedural for CBS and, yes, there is romantic »

McM Expo Round-Up: Day 1 – The Video Games
26 May 2012 11:53 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Well McM Expo London Comic Con day one is over and after grabbing a curry with the folks at Namco Bandai and ShifyLook I thought I’d round up what I saw, and importantly what I played, during today’s preview afternoon which as all about video games for me. After all on Saturday and Sunday there are typically massive queues for each and every game on display, but with the smaller crowds on preview day the queues were kept to a minimum. Well except for two games on show…
Lollipop Chainsaw
One of only two games with queues, it turns out this game is as awesome as expected, with some cheeky one-liners from cheerleading zombie killer Juliet Starling, plenty of blood and gore in a game that feels just like the fantastic Suda 51 title No More Heroes. I played through two levels: one standard zombie-slaying level with what »

Elementary on CBS: First Full-Length Trailer
26 May 2012 8:24 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
It will soon be Elementary, dear CBS viewers.
The network has released an extended trailer for its modern day retelling of Sherlock Holmes this fall, a drama that will air at 10 p.m. on Thursdays and stars Jonny Lee Miller as the British detective who has moved to NYC and taken up the same kind of work in Manhattan that he performed in London.
Also starring Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson, the following sneak peek gives us a much closer look at the two main characters than the first Elementary trailer.
Why is Sherlock in New York? Why is Watson serving as his "sober companion?" What happens when a home possesses a safe room? Why doesn't Sherlock have any mirrors in his apartment? Watch now and decide if you'll give Elementary a chance when it premieres.

Extended Preview Trailer for CBS’ Elementary
25 May 2012 8:52 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Sherlock Holmes as a tattoo-covered nutcase? Well, that’s one way to go with the famous Detective, I guess. It’s certainly worlds apart from the BBC version as played by Benedict Cumberbatch, that’s for damn sure. This one seems less concern with making Holmes superhumanly clever, and more concern with making him very human, who happens to be slightly more clever than the average man. I guess now the “Sherlock” people can stop getting their panties into a bunch, because while both shows may share the same hero, they’re not really the same hero. And I haven’t even gotten to the fact that CBS’ version has Lucy Liu, obviously a woman, playing Watson. ‘Elementary’ stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day drama about a crime solving duo that cracks the NYPD’s most impossible cases. »

New TV Season Breakdown: CBS
18 May 2012 4:51 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fourth announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on CBS.
With CBS leading in viewers by the widest margin of any network in 23 years, the network has little need to refresh its line-up this year - especially with last season's successes like "2 Broke Girls" and "Persons of Interest" adding to a solid run of hits in recent years.
Yet it's not resting on its laurels, ordering six new shows and shifting four existing shows around the schedule to shore up its weak points, in the process teaming its two biggest comedies "Big Bang Theory" and "Two and a Half Men" on the one night.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen include cop drama "The Widow Detective", various comedies about twenty »

question of the day: What is the modern appeal of Sherlock Holmes?
18 May 2012 1:24 AM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
The BBC’s Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, finishes up its run on PBS in the U.S. this weekend -- its ratings have been phenomenal, more than doubling the typical viewership for its timeslot. The two Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law have combined earned well over a billion dollars worldwide. And now the American network CBS is launching a modern-day Holmes series set in New York City, starring Jonny Lee Miller and, as a gender-switched Watson, Lucy Liu. A sneak peak at Elementary (which will debut sometime in the autumn): [video] (Doesn’t look much different than Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which features an NYPD officer who uses Holmes-esque methods to solve cases.) Why is Arthur Conan Doyle’s consulting detective everywhere -- and so popular -- at the moment? What is the modern appeal of Sherlock Holmes? Does his emotional coldness »

Broadcast Networks Fall Sked: New and Old Genre Offerings, Part III
17 May 2012 2:24 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
With the broadcast networks done shoring up their fall schedule, let’s take a look at what genre fans (and the gays) have to look forward to:
CBS, the nation’s #1 broadcast network, is once again in a position to offer a few new shows, while continuing offer 47 different, yet the same, procedural cop shows. While some may not consider the CSI and NCIS franchise as science fiction, they do offer a lot of technobabble that really is more futuristic methodology than real science. So it’s more puedso-science mixed with the age-old mysteries that are about as mysterious as a puddle. One intriguing series will be Elementary, CBS’ attempt at emulating the BBC’s updated, modern version of Sherlock Holmes without copying it –to avoid lawsuits, you know. Jonny Lee Miller will play Sherlock Holmes, while Lucy Lui will play Jane Watson (ahhh, so see Steven Moffat and the BBC, »

From Arrow To 666 Park Avenue: Fall TV’s Most Promising Eye Candy
17 May 2012 12:40 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
We’re going to leave it up to the pundits to predict which of the many new shows presented at this week’s network upfronts will rise to the top come fall TV season. All we know is, we may have re-watched the clip of Stephen Amell doing pull-ups in the CW’s Arrow about 10 times this morning. (Sorry, lost count.) Point is, there are a whole lot of new faces for us to ogle — and about as many returning ones we’ve been longing for — on the schedules that were announced this week.
12►
What the hell is going on at 666 Park Avenue (ABC’s new drama)? We can only tell that Vanessa Williams is still devilishly hot, and Dave Annable and Rachael Taylor have the kind of sex appeal that might entice us to sell our souls too. We are squealing with delight at the return of Felicity boys »

Watch: 'Elementary,' My Dear Joan Watson? Jonny Lee Miller Stars in CBS Modern Sherlock
17 May 2012 12:26 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
"Elementary" has either the misforture or, I'm sure according to CBS, the great luck to arrive this fall on the heels of the success of BBC's wildly popular contemporary take on Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective "Sherlock," a series that has made a star of lead Benedict Cumberbatch. CBS's take on Holmes, which will kick off in the fall, features Jonny Lee Miller in the role of the detective, genderflipping the role of his partner and biographer to have Lucy Liu as Joan Watson, his sober companion (he's moved to New York for rehab). The pilot was directed by Michael Cuesta (of "L.I.E."), and the clips included in the preview below show that Miller's take on Holmes, while eccentric, is a less prickly than Cumberbatch's UK version. Incidentally, Miller and Cumberbatch starred opposite one another in Danny Boyle's National Theatre stage production of "Frankenstein," alternating between the roles. »

Elementary Trailer: CBS Does Sherlock
17 May 2012 12:19 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
More fall TV previews are continuing to pour in this week, and today CBS has unveiled some trailers for a handful of their own upcoming shows. Among them: Elementary, their new modern take on Sherlock Holmes starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. It's set in New York City instead of London and yes, Lucy Liu is playing Joan Watson. Joan! Brilliant. Seriously though, as much as we all want to hate this just because we love the BBC's Sherlock, I actually don't think it looks all that bad. Jonny Lee Miller seems like a pretty solid choice to play Holmes, and the decision to make Watson a woman does add a different dynamic. With so many other police procedurals out there, I suspect this will comfortably find an audience. Elementary debuts on CBS in September; check out the preview after the jump and see what you think.

17 May 2012 9:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
CBS's Elementary is one of the shows I am interested in watching this fall. The series stars Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, and is a modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes. We have a 3 minute behind-the-scenes preview of the series for your viewing pleasure.
Synopsis:
Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD’s most impossible cases. Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, eccentric Sherlock escapes to Manhattan where his wealthy father forces him to live with his worst nightmare – a sober companion, Dr. Watson. A successful surgeon until she lost a patient and her license three years ago, Watson views her current job as another opportunity to help people, as well as paying a penance.

CBS upfronts: America's most successful network sticks to what it knows best
17 May 2012 9:09 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The grown-up network has plenty of solid bets in its lineup, but Elementary, CBS's modern-day Sherlock Holmes, is a gamble
CBS presented its new shows to advertisers and the media community in New York this week. Here's our guide to the potential hits and misses:
What CBS needs
CBS is America's most successful network and it didn't get that way by making swinging changes. Instead CBS is a network that knows what works – police procedurals and multi-camera comedies. It recognises that the bread-and butter-stuff allows it to occasionally take a chance on shows that don't fit the mould – The Good Wife is grown-up network television at its best. It also doesn't care about being mocked for being old – CBS might be the no 1 network for viewers over 50 but it's also the no 2 network (behind Fox) for viewers under 50.
While everyone else is rushing around panicking about the internet, fragmented viewing »
