Vegas and Elementary Receive Full Season Renewals

CBS viewers will be traveling back to the 1960s and solving crimes with an icon well into 2013: the network announced today that both Vegas and Elementary had received full season pick-ups.

Vegas, which features Dennis Quaid as a sheriff and Michael Chiklis as a mobster looking to control Sin City, often wins its Tuesday time period in viewers (14.9 million) and adults 18-49 (2.7/8). It airs a new episode tonight.

Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson, respectively, and has averaged 14.3 million viewers and a 3.5/10 in adults 18-49 in its Thursday at 10 p.m. time slot.
