Thanks for this. I thought Supernatural was coming back on the 16th and a few places still give that date. At least I'll know to look for it next Wednesday. Fortunately, it's programmed in my DVR, but still I like to watch it live and I would hate to miss the return.

You might be right on that, I have it down in my iCal as 9th, but now I can't find where I'd found that date, and everything I can find says 16th.

Originally scheduled for the 9th then push back a week.

Typical CW.

I love the BBC :-)

Thank you thank you! Incredibly helpful, especially about Elementary and Cabin Pressure (sooooo excited for the latter). I'm with you on Elementary. It's better than I expected, but I'm just watching to see what they'll do with it next, not necessarily because I like it. :)

If the characters weren't supposed to be Holmes and Watson, almost all my issues with it would disappear.

Thanks for the Cabin Pressure link!

We seem to have gotten Small Child accidentally hooked on Elementary, which she's really a bit too young to be watching, so I don't know that we could stop if we wanted. I'm still watching. But was it you who said that it would be better if they just named the characters something else and didn't try to pretend it was Sherlock Holmes? I don't know whether I'm more frustrated when Holmes does something canonical (refer to his attic, play the violin) or something completely contrary to canon (his sex life). I prefer Joan Watson to Holmes any day.

More than likely. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same sentiment around elsewhere as well.

Lucy Liu is cool, but I don't like that the showrunner/s removed the Watson military backstory. Also, casting-wise I'd have probably cast Lucy Liu as Holmes and JLM as Watson. But what can you do, right?
