Determined to make their modernized Sherlock Holmes more edgy than the BBC's by making it more like Cashmere Mafia, CBS has cast Lucy Liu as Sherlock's sidekick in their New York-set take on the famous detective, Elementary. She'll reportedly play JOAN Watson, a retired surgeon living with Holmes in a Brooklyn apartment--much like John Watson, but female, and in New York. Get it? Everything is just slightly off from the usual, London-set Holmes you know! That's the kind of freshness you can get only from the network that broadcasts nine seasons of Two and a Half Men.
As we already learned, Eli Stone's Jonny Lee Miller is playing Sherlock Holmes in CBS's pilot. And just to shake things up a bit more, Moriarty will be played by a Bronx-born cat voiced by Don Cheadle (probably).
