The first episode was pretty good, with a nod to the recent BBC effort. There was a brief sex reference but other than that was worth watching...

“...and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson, is now a woman.”

Not just any woman. Lucy Liu.

I preferred the recent US redo more, "house"

I enjoyed the U.S. show, but still like the BBC Sherlock better. The 3rd Season of the BBC program will probably be airing later in 2013.

I am a long time Sherlock Holmes fan. It seems the closer they stick to Conan Doyle the better the show. The series with Jeremy Brett were among the best ever.

I watched “Elementary” for around 15 minutes before it struck me that I was so bored that I had no idea what was going on. Just turned it off then.

Actually, this is not the first time Dr. Watson is played by a woman. In the 1971 film, They Might Be Giants, George C. Scott plays a mental patient who believes he’s Sherlock Holmes. His psychiatrist, Dr. Watson is played by Joanne Woodward.

Please...no more scruffy charm! No more hallucinating crime solving geniuses who cannot make it to a barber, no more smiling, charming psychos with a heart of gold.....enough of the dregs as heroes!

Enough of the black tee shirt, shaved head, three day beard uniforms. Sherlock Holmes? Elementary? Are the writers too dull to even come up with an original title?

IMO the BBC version is just better. Better writing, better casting and better acting.

I had mixed feelings about last week’s episode.

One problem with it was the mumbling of the main characters. It was difficult to understand what they were saying.
