Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Castle I never watch for the mystery, Psych I watch for Gus, but Elementary is probably filling the procedural slot the best, because I like that and the characters (watching Watson work stuff out gets me all choked up...).

I did finally ditch Vampire Diaries and 90210, and I realise I don't even remember if I ditched CSI: NY...well, if I haven't, I should, huh? I'll give Las Vegas till the end of the season.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am going to have to start watching Elementary, aren't I? Maybe I can find another show to ditch in exchange.

It's really good. Far beyond what I had hoped. (I've never read any Sherlock Holmes, so canon isn't an issue for me. I didn't have a problem with a female Watson; I just hoped the execution of it would be done well.) (Okay, I had a *slight* problem with a non-Martin Freeman version of Watson, but that's really his own damn fault for being so awesome.)

And as much as I love the Cumbermuffin, Jonny Lee Miller is tweaky and fantastic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

When I get annoyed with Elementary, it's because Holmes isn't being deductive or evidence based enough for me. I enjoy Watson an awful lot, though.

TVD is another that I don't know why I'm still watching it. I'm a couple episodes behind on it at the moment, so maybe it will actually go soon...

I love the commercials for it that I see during Arrow (which is my big sparkly heart show that I will not miss). I feel like the tagline for TVD (based solely on the content of the commercials) should be "Being a vampire is harrrrrrrrd!"

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I really enjoy Elementary when I stop thinking of it as Holmes.

I watch Arrow, but I don't feel good about it.

Go with the pretty. John Barrowman, what up? And Tommy, damn, that man is attractive. And the guy playing Roy Harper. And Felicity.

Jesus, I'm shallow.

But no! I actually like the storyline. For realz.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I enjoy Elementary. It's a good procedural, but I don't love it and probably wouldn't be very sad if it was canceled. Persons of Interest is my favorite procedural at the moment.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The pretty does nothing for me. I watch for the grown-ups in the supporting cast.

brillig

I stopped watching Elementary a few months ago because I wasn't home on Thursdays and I got out of the habit. I should look it up online.
