Funny bit of trivia: According to Eddy and Adam, when they were first building and breaking the show, Graham's role as the Sheriff WAS actually meant to be Sherlock Holmes with his curse being that he couldn't solve a mystery. It fell through because they ran into a roadblock trying to clear it with whoever was in charge of licensing the Sherlock Holmes brand. Granted, whoever was in charge probably didn't want multiple shows featuring the Sherlock Holmes brand on at the same time (Elementary was gearing up as well, although that wouldn't happen until 2012, and Sherlock was already airing in the UK), hence why they were blocked from moving ahead with the idea. They said in hindsight, it was probably for the better because they realized they already HAD a sheriff in Emma.
