I was going to absolutely make myself <\/span>not say anything about this new PBS Sherlock<\/strong> series. I was going to follow Thumper’s father’s advice: \u00a0“If you can’t say anything nice…” I REALLY was! And actually, if you think about it, I have been very good >>> PBS just aired the third Sherlock episode last night, and I have “don’t say nothing at all” (second part of the quote) until I absolutely could not\u00a0contain myself anymore<\/span>!<\/p>\n

I tried. Honest, I tried!!!<\/p>\n

I tried to watch the first episode, and did pretty well. Of course, it did take me a whole lot shorter than the allotted ninety minutes. I could not keep my remote “trigger finger” off of that doggone fast-forward key. I tried to enjoy the “Jeremy Brett in the 21st century” action. Remember what they say about imitation being the best form of flattery? And I saw a\u00a0whole lot of flattery going on!<\/p>\n

As for the second\u00a0episode (last week)… after watching Alan Cummings’ introduction, I tried to stay with the show. I simply couldn’t watch any longer than ten minutes. I decided that fast-forwarding through the whole show just wasn’t going to cut it for me.<\/p>\n

BUT… Last night I couldn’t even get past Alan Cummings’ introduction: “Gay, straight, or bi?” WHAT?!?!?!?!?! I imagine that\u00a0Sir Conan Doyle is rolling in his grave! OR… perhaps I missed all of those sexual\u00a0references when I read\u00a0 Doyle’s works of literature. Good grief!!!<\/p>\n

I try to make it a policy not to be negative in my entries. So, I am going to offer a positive solution to this very negative entry. Check with your libraries and see if they have the much superior Sherlock Holmes television movies<\/a> with Jeremy Brett. If they do, check them out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
