Detectives are a dime a dozen in prime time, but one crimesolving sleuth is worth his weight in gold. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic Sherlock Holmes has been reimagined for a new generation of fans and he’s returning to the airwaves — finally.
Jonny Lee Miller (“Trainspotting,” 1996) reprises his role as a modern-day Sherlock in the sixthseason premiere of “Elementary,” airing Monday, April 30, on CBS. It’s been a longer-than-usual wait for fans of the series, which costars Lucy Liu (“Ally McBeal”) as Sherlock’s partner, Dr. Joan Watson. “Elementary” was noticeably absent from the CBS fall schedule, and it wasn’t until January, when the season premiere was officially announced, that fans could breathe a collective sigh of relief. Few details have been announced for the new season, but at the summer CBS press tour, creator and executive producer Robert Doherty hinted that the upcoming season may feature the return of someone from Sherlock’s past.
“With respect to Sherlock, we’re working hard to see an old flame come back to the show,” Doherty said.
Industry pundits have speculated that that flame could be Moriarty, played by Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones”), but so far
the show’s cast and crew have remained mum on the subject. As for now, fans can be assured that both Miller and Liu will return to their roles as Sherlock and his sidekick, Watson, who was hired as Holmes’ sober companion after the brilliant Scotland Yard consultant’s stint in rehab.
They may be back, but it’ll be anything but smooth sailing for prime time’s dynamic duo. At the end of last season, Watson put everything on the line and made a proverbial deal with the devil when she approached nefarious thug Julio “Halcon” Zelaya (Jon Huertas, “This Is Us”) to help her bring a killer to justice. While she seems to believe her debt to the gangster has been repaid, it may not be that simple.
“Halcon may not see it the way Joan sees it,” Doherty teased in a June interview with Entertainment Weekly. “He may think she owes him a favor, not the other way around. Gang leaders are funny that way.”
While Halcon may cause some trouble for Watson, he may not be the only character to shake things up this season. In July, it was announced that Desmond Harrington (“Dexter”) would join the cast as Michael, a fellow recovering addict who offers support to Sherlock in his time of need. Fans may remember that the sleuth has been experiencing memory lapses and hallucinations involving a mysterious woman, and his health problems
have put a strain on his relationship with Watson because he doesn’t want to burden her. As a result, he’s forced to look elsewhere for support. Michael claims to want to help Sherlock because he was inspired to get sober thanks to something Sherlock said to him when they met long ago. However, rumors abound that Michael may have ulterior motives for approaching the police consultant.
The season 6 cast also includes series regular Aidan Quinn (“Legends of the Fall,” 1994) as Capt. Thomas Gregson of the NYPD, who often pulls in Holmes and Watson as consultants to crack tough cases. One of Gregson’s colleagues at the 11th Precinct is Det. Marcus Bell (Jon Michael Hill, “Detroit 1-8-7”), who’s frequently paired with Holmes and learns a great deal from him.
Unfortunately, Holmes may have to take some time off from consulting to focus on his health this season. At the end of season 5, he underwent a brain scan to investigate the cause of his neurological issues, and the test revealed that he may have a brain tumor. His health troubles are just the latest in a long list of challenges faced by the famed detective. Over the course of the first five seasons of the show, he’s tackled some formidable foes, not the least of which are his addictions. Miller’s portrayal of the iconic character has earned him high praise from critics, as well as a Sat-

ellite Award nomination in 2012. Liu has also been honored with a number of accolades for her work on the series, including three People’s Choice Award nominations and a 2013 Teen Choice Award win. “Elementary” was nominated for a 2012 People’s Choice Award in the Favorite New TV Drama category, and has since snagged two Emmy nods, multiple Prism Award nominations and much more. The show’s success is particularly sweet because it was the subject of scrutiny from fans of the BBC’s “Sherlock,” which was also a contemporary take on the classic character, played in that series by Benedict Cumberbatch (“Doctor Strange,” 2016).
TV fans seem sufficiently satisfied that the two shows are distinct, as “Elementary” has proven to be a hit, despite a dip in the ratings for season 5. This may be why things looked a tad grim for season 6 of the CBS series, as the network initially ordered only 13 episodes. As luck would have it, CBS extended the episode order, bringing the season 6 grand total to 21 episodes of the mystery-drama. Find out what’s in store for Holmes and Watson in the season premiere of “Elementary,” airing Monday, April 30, on CBS.

This weekend, the movie “Ready Player One” topped the box office. It’s about a world where people escape reality by playing a computer game. When Americans were asked if they’d ever be sucked into a digital world like that, they said, “One sec … sorry, what?”

CNN’s chief legal analyst mocked President Trump’s recent staff turnover yesterday and said Trump has been “reduced to LegalZoom” to find lawyers to represent him. Incidentally, “legal zoom” is what Trump tells his driver to do on the highway. “I’m the president! You can do a legal zoom!”

Sometimes, you can have your cake and eat it, too. OK, so you might have to bake (or buy — I won’t judge) your own, but if it’s just cake-focused TV shows you’re looking for — or, really, any sweets for that matter — then Monday nights on Food Network sure have you covered. Every week gets off to a sweet start with a night of dessert-filled shows, and this week’s new episodes of “Spring Baking Championship” and “Vegas Cakes” are welcoming a new arrival.
“Dallas Cakes” joins Food Net-
the cakes on display here definitely give that old idiom a whiff of truth. Each episode finds three of the city’s most talented bakers creating edible art from flour, sugar, eggs and icing, with cameras following along for the entire process, from conception to delivery to the customer.
In this week’s premiere, a groom wants nothing more than a “Game of Thrones”-themed cake for his special day, and the result — an intricately detailed Iron Throne complete with a sculpted ice dragon — is so beautiful that someone could lose their head. Then, a block party celebrating the Chinese New Year wants a cake that really captures
its 100th anniversary, and a milestone like that deserves a one-of-akind cake. With 24 layers of coffee cake molded into what might be the world’s largest edible belt buckle, the real challenge is transporting the gargantuan dessert from the bakery to the arena without it falling apart.
Things don’t get any less over the top in next week’s episode. With an
incredibly lifelike five-foot-long alligator, a massive police badge celebrating one of Dallas’s finest, and even a realistic giant golf cart all being put together, the cakes on display here really are works of art worthy of their own TV show. Luckily, that show is easy to find. “Dallas Cakes” joins Food Network’s Monday night baking lineup on April 30.

After his uncle’s death, Thomas McGregor (Gleeson) moves into his old house and begins refurbishing it in the hopes of selling it for a nice profit. First, though, he has to deal with the pesky wild animals that run rampant through the garden, including the annoying Peter Rabbit (Corden), who loves nothing more than digging up and eating all of the fresh vegetables. The war between man and rabbit gets personal, though, when Mr. McGregor begins to develop feelings for his neighbor, a beau-
gime, and together the Americans and Afghanis fight side by side as they attempt to drive out their entrenched and violent enemy from the area. However, differences in both their cultures and in their ultimate goals create tension between the two groups and make the formation of a lasting alliance all but impossible.
