That cartoon wasn't even that bad, to be honest. I admit I watched it as a kid.

But yes, he has been through worse. Much worse.

Never saw it, but man, the concept.

That cartoon was actually pretty good.

It even referenced a ton of Holmes cases from canon, only it always changed to "also Moriarty was involved somehow."

Also to be honest I'm more worried about the number of episodes than anything else. American Holmes sounds downright weird but who knows, maybe they can pull it off. I'm just not convinced they can pull off 12-24 episodes per season and keep the writing decent. Holmes is a hard character to write even when you have a year to write a script, when you are rushing through it...ehhh I don't have a lot of expectations for it.

I'm kind of expecting the series to be Holmes "in name only."

It may be the nostalgia talking.

But that theme song is so damn catchy.
Oh and the show was pretty good too.

This topic is now about how good Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century was.

I can live with that. I really liked that show.

Details of the new show are scarce, but fans of Conan Doyle probably shouldn't expect anything too faithful to the original. After all, ABC already apparently has a modern-day adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" in the pipeline, according to New York magazine. The original tells of a prosecutor and his friend who turns out to be a mass murderer in Victorian London. ABC's version is apparently about a female criminologist and an ER doctor in San Francisco

...Is it bad I kind of want to see that Jerkyll/Hyde adaptation just to see how bad it is?
