Making light has a "That's why they have CSI" in Georgia to the tune of "The night the lights went out in Georgia". It would be funnier if it were not for recent news event, but still funny if you think of the song and the show, and not current events.

Would Missing be discussed here? It's surprisingly good so far.
Also, why are all the new shows single words?

that completely cracked my shit up.
And mine.
And to that point, I was just about to post that there's talk in Boxed Set about Missing, but no... it's Awake I was thinking of. Stupid one name shows. Or stupid brain. Whatever. Shut up.
I posted about the first episode of Missing after it aired. I thought it was too predictable and not that good. I was going to give the second episode a try anyway, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
I had mixed feelings about the first episode, but the second one was excellent. They're really making her a badass. Perhaps not an entirely believable badass, but I take what I can get. This episode gave more of a sense of the forces arrayed for and against her from her life as an agent.
So apparently Moffat said this about Elementary:
“The bigger problem for us with Elementary is, what if it’s terrible? What if it’s awful? Then it degrades the brand. … I remember there was a legitimate American version made of Coupling, actually adapted from our version. It was terrible and it was a disaster and it did sort of diminish the original. So if there’s this completely unrelated rogue version of Sherlock going around and it’s bad, it can be bad for us.”
Which just...ire. Coupling US didn't just happen. He worked on it. He's friends with Colin because of it. Yes, it sucked. But, really, did it significantly tarnish the original? Howzat?
And when did the copyright or whatever holders of Sherlock Holmes turn over custody of their legacy to him? Or is he worried about how Conan Doyle's books? That's big of him.
Yeah, that's clearly crap. You aren't worried about degrading the brand. You are worried about your own show, possibly and your own paycheck. But not the brand.
