GOOD NEWS /capslock
Elementary's pilot was so strong that it has definitely been picked up as a new show and will air in autumn 2012.
THANK GOD, I was sort of dreading that they might not commission the series because the pilot was terrible or something.
The guy who reads the scripts had something to say on the show itself as well, so if you don't mind minor spoilers you should take a peek under the cut.
'"Elementary," the latest take on Sherlock Holmes, is also saddled with arrogant and self-satisfied lead character. That said, his shortcomings are more palatable thanks to the fact that his rakishness is charming enough and his motivations are fueled by nothing more than a desire to solve the crime -- alongside his 'Personal Recovery Assistant,' Joan Watson. There has been some press concern that this is a ripoff of the fantastic modernized BBC show, also based on of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous novels. While there are similarities, they appear to be limited to the usual Sherlockian traits found in any adaptation, so quibbling over one versus the other seems like a waste of time. The British version only airs three episodes per season and the third series isn't due for well over a year; while we wait for that, we might as well indulge in CBS' interpretation, especially since it's one of the strongest pilots on their slate.'

Good to know that it's not a copyright breach then! (:
