Gosh, in this day-and-age, I’m surprised he’s not a transgendered guy lobbying to marry Dr. Watson.

Shoot. Missed it. Will tune in next week. I was on the fence after seeing the trailer but I’ll give it a try!

Only thing on TV right now is Brett Favre throwing touchdown passes for Green Bay.

[KarlInOhio]

I didn't know it was on, but you've at least interested me enough to record the replay tonight.

[Ted Grant]

Dexter was on. No Sherlock for me.

Jeremy Hines(?)

Jeremy Brett. The Master.

The best traditional version ever is the one you are thinking of, starring Jeremy Brett.

[Lancey Howard]

There is only one Sherlock Holmes.

Updated his personal life? Have they made him a sodomite...that would fit into current Hollywood trends.

[Snake65]

I agree with the general opinion on Brett.

Though props to Peter Cushing for the Hammer version of Hound of the Baskervilles. I thought he did a fantastic job, equal to Basil Rathbone, who is much better-known in the role.

Sorry, it’s a PBS (Propoganda Broadcast Service). Bet it was part of a fundraiser too. They broadcast these programs to entice older folks and conservatives so they can broadcast more Frontline, Bill Moyer’s, NPR hitpieces with donations.

The original Study in Scarlet had Watson returning from the Afghan Campaign (the 1800s one) with a bullet in his shoulder.

[Kirkwood]

Was the Baker Street Gang a gang of muslim yutes?

[BunnySlippers]

Wash he gay?

[School of Rational Thought]

No Basel Rathbone or Jeremy Brett. I don’t think the Holmes character was believable.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

FYI, Martin Freeman, who plays Watson, has just been signed to play Bilbo Baggins in ‘The Hobbit’, which has FINALLY been given the green light.

[Crazy Jim]

My wife and I really liked it.

It was a good update on the classic.

I have recommended to my son.

The chick constantly playing on her cell phone irritated me and Dr. Watson.

[mrreaganaut]

Jeremy Brett is the one you were thinking of. He was the definitive Sherlock Holmes in the ‘80s, replacing the ‘40s Basil Rathbone in the hearts of many. I can’t imagine a better Holmes, but the update may not be too bad. :)

This is off topic but Johnny Depp is playing in the new “Thin Man” movie. Are there any fans of William Powell, Myrna Loy and Asta?

I would love to know if it will be set in the 30’s like the classic movies and Dashiell Hammett series?
