Elementary

This is worth a look. Comparisons with BBC's Sherlock are inevitable. But, it's not like BBC owns the Sherlock character.
 
The thing that annoyed me a bit was they had Sherlock speaking in a British accent. They have relocated Sherlock to Manhattan and changed John Watson to Joan Watson. Why not Sherlock speak in and American accent?
 
these characters just do not do it for me :(

"Sometimes I hate it when I'm right." You're Sherlock, You absolutely LOVE being right. Please, stop this massacre. BBC's version is fantastic with Benedict, Martin and the others, Americans don't need to make a no good remake u_u

As far as I'm concerned, Sherlock is not the property of BBC. There have been countless representations of Sherlock. Seeing the popularity of BBC's Sherlock, CBS wanted to cash in. They first asked Steven Moffat to let them adapt the show for American TV. He didn't agree. So, they created their own version.

The actor playing Sherlock is Johnny Lee Miller, who is also a British actor and is very good.
 
Heh. Seems like deliberate leak on CBS' part :D
Will check it out tomorrow.
Why would they do that? If they want to show an early preview of their show, they'd release it on their website.

Say what ever you want about CBS shows, the network is the most watched in the U.S. They are not desperate like NBC. If you noticed their premiere schedule, all shows are scheduled to premiere during the traditional premiere week (Sep 24-30). Every other network has a staggered schedule. CBS just does not care. They have an incentive to hold on to their pilot episodes until the premiere. Everyone will tune in then and that will wreck the ratings of other networks.
