Last episode of 'Elementary' is not streaming on official CBS website

ELEMENTARY on CBS. TV fans over at Facebook are complaining that this wonderful TV show keeps getting pre-empted on Sunday evenings at 10/9 p.m. An Award show or Professional Game sport keeps running over. Last week's episode called, "High Heat" was pre-empted by the "Golf Masters" in the central and eastern time zones. It was seen though on the west pacific time zone. The network usually moves the episode online for TV viewers, but with "High Heat." It is not streaming at all.

I just checked the CBS schedule and "High Heat" will air this Sunday April 16, 2017 at 10/9 p.m. It will follow the special, "Stayin' Alive: A Grammy salute to the music of the Bee Gees." That's if it doesn't run over. 

TV fans believe "Elementary" was moved to Sundays to be cancelled. Hardcore fans have flocked to Sunday nights, even though it keeps getting pre-empted. TV ratings have almost stayed the same from last Spring 2016. It is also popular because of DVR recording, CBS All Access and the online repeats. CBS has yet to renew the crime show for a 6th TV season. 

(I hope it gets a renewal and please move it back to Thursday nights at 10/9 p.m. All new TV shows have tanked in that time slot since a year ago). 

By the way, if CBS wants a TV show die early and fast. The network moves a struggling and/or cancelled series to Saturday nights. "Rush Hour" and sadly, "Training Day" are good examples.
