Elementary is likely to be renewed.
Its move to Sunday night did cause a bit of distress among some fans, but given that CBS looks set to cancel three other non-rookie dramas (Person Of Interest, CSI:Cyber & The Good Wife), the reaper can’t imagine they cancel four.

The Reaper Index is the ratio of a scripted show’s new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It’s calculated by dividing a show’s new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show’s own network. The network’s average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.
