Jonny Lee Miller is an excellent actor, and I'm sure could do the Holmes character justice, but this is just a bad idea. There's no way a network drama (with 20+ episodes a season) could hold a candle to the BBC's masterful 3 episode seasons. If it were FX or AMC and they did a handful of episodes a season, then maybe (big maybe). Cumberbatch IS Holmes. Maybe the only people who could possibly enjoy the CBS series are the ones who've never seen the BBC version (at least the RDJ version is a VERY different take, although I can't get into it).

He may still be English but living in New York. But the main problem being think of the number of people who would watch this who have never even heard of Sherlock the BBC series. They don't watch PBS to see it. Thus apparently never knowning one of the great TV shows of all time. 90 minutes and each episode - total of 6 now - has been treated like a movie and tho Jonny is a fine actor and many people have played Sherlock Holmes but Benedict Cumberbatch has made that role his own. He IS Sherlock.
