katikatSeriously? No, seriously?! CBS Greenlights Contemporary Sherlock Holmes:
Seriously? I can't stop saying that, because - SERIOUSLY?! This gives me a creepy crawly slimy feeling, sorry to say. I love Sherlock Holmes and I am willing to give a try to anything Holmes related but there IS already a modern day Sherlock Holmes show being produced RIGHT NOW, for Christ's sake!
CBS, if you really must, why not make a show about Moriarty?! The greatest criminal mind of all time? I always defended CBS but this is just too much! Esp. considering a) Sherlock, b) The Mentalist and c) House!
And if that weren't enough, it's from the writers of Medium which I hated, hated, HATED! I watched a few episodes and I wanted to strangle Allison Dubois every time she opened her mouth! Argh!
This really irked me, as you probably noticed. I'm not saying I might not end up liking it - everything's possible and as I said, I give a try to everything Holmes related - but right now, all that's running through my head is SERIOUSLY?!
Elementary, from CBS TV Studios and studio-based Timberman/ Beverly Prods., is described as a modern take on the cases of the pipe-smoking private eye created by Arthur Conan Doyle, with Sherlock now living in New York City. Veteran Medium writer-producer Doherty wrote the script and is executive producing the project with Sarah Timberman & Carl Beverly. Sherlock Holmes is very much in the zeitgeist right now with Guy Ritchie’s movie franchise starring Robert Downey Jr. and BBC’s hit series Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch, which was just renewed for third season.
