The creators of this show reportedly went to great lengths to avoid comparisons or potential copyright issues with the British series Sherlock (2010), which also re-tells the story of Holmes in a contemporary setting. One visual cue that was included as a nod to the British series is Holmes' scarf, which is worn the same way as it is in "Sherlock".

The recurring character of Mrs. Hudson, portrayed by Candis Cayne, and who is the occasional cleaning person for Sherlock's brownstone, is a nod to the original Arthur Conan Doyle character of the same name, who is the proprietress or landlady of 221b Baker Street, London, in the original canon, and in most Holmes screen incarnations.

Q
Do the original Sherlock Holmes books (1887-1927) and characters exist in this tv series?
A
No. Sherlock and Joan are treated as unique; the Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle do not exist in this fictional universe.
Q
What is the source of the show title?
A
It is now widely known that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock never actually said, "Elementary, my dear Watson." However, due to its' popularization in other media, it is considered his signature phrase. Doyle's Sherlock uses the word "elementary" only eight times in canon, usually referring to his immediate deductions from the smallest of evidence (such as the dirt on someone's shoes.)
