Pimping the US airing of Sherlock.

Since it's going to start airing in the US on Sunday, I figured I should post something today.

( Introduction to the BBC's Sherlock series (no spoilers beyond concept)** )

I heard about this first from you and then nearly rear-ended a Toyota on the way to work just a couple days ago when I discovered that NPR was in fact talking about the new Sherlock BBC series being shown on PBS. And as it's airing on PBS on weekends, I don't have to fight with certain other people about viewing other programs!

Read your fanfics and can't wait to see the series that inspired them!

Sincerely,

Glad to have provided an introduction Graymouse, and watch out for that traffic.

I am SO EXCITED for this! You'd almost think I haven't seen them more than a few times already. Hee!

I know! It's like the difference in doing something alone and doing something as part of a larger group. Even though no one else is around you, there's still that feeling that you're sharing n a group experience, and other people are watching the same thing as you.

I'm rather excited too, and it's already done airing in Canada. Does Neilson even keep track of ratings on PBS channels?

That is so very true! And as far as I know, PBS IS counted by nielsen, but not for specific shows or something?

Looks like there's some kind of a report once a week and some breakdown of shows. I hope it'll be easy to find!

Nifty!

what planet are you from?

Indeed!

John's service in Afghanistan was in the modern war, not the war happening in the 1800's.

And isn't that bloody depressing?

Long-time fans of the Sherlock Holmes mythos may find the concept of a modern Holmes distasteful, or laughable ..

Not at all. The core of Holmes is timeless, which is why elements of it have fitted so well into House. The Victorian era is fabulous in itself, but the character of Holmes as a man slightly outside his time works just as well now as it did then.

I LOVE THIS SHOW AS MUSH AS I LOVE THE ORIGINAL STORIES WHICH IS SAYING A LOT!!!!!!!!

Everyone must watch it!

And isn't that bloody depressing?

More than a little, yeah.

Everyone must watch it!

I concur!
