Except it's no longer an adaptation of the BBC show, Sherlock Holmes will also be popular and successful even when the audience is new to Holmes (because, really, what kid had read ACD before watching VeggieTales or Wishbone?), and there is a (to the average fan) new twist with Watson as a woman.

It's not really worth saying that it's vamping off the success of BBC's version as the general reason for making an American adaptation is that it's a good idea but Americans won't watch the original since it's not in AmE.

Fine, great. It's its own adaptation. Congrats to them from getting so far away from the BBC version, especially after Sue Vertue's public comments about suing over the similarities. The origins, however, are still side-eye worthy.

And yeah, I'm sure the massive popularity for the show in the UK has nothing to do with why an American company would want to adapt it.

Sue Vertue's public temper tantrum, you mean.

" (because, really, what kid had read ACD before watching VeggieTales or Wishbone?)"

Me. I had. I'm the weirdo.

seriously though. I agree with you, and the thing that makes this crazy is that, from what I've seen, Elementary and Sherlock aren't even that similar - obviously they're both set in the modern world, but they're presenting fairly different takes on the character and the central relationship. It's kind of wack that people are so obsessed with them being the same.

Me too. I was big mystery fan in middle school. I went to a small school (about 100-150 people per grade) and nearly cleaned out the library's limited mystery section.
