Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock. He's a friend of a friend I have in the UK.

I've seen both series 1 and 2. It's amazingly consistent and updated.

For Americans, I believe the second series will be screened on selected PBS stations part of the Masterpiece anthology in the spring. Though, since each series is three episodes, you can find them online easily (as Julia has pointed out).

I love Sherlock. I agree that Benedict Cumberbatch is good in the role, but I like Martin Freeman's Watson more. I think the casting is good all around with Mycroft and Lestrade. I do think that they can do more with Rupert Graves as Lestrade. The writing is superior also. We need a thread on Luther for series three.

Reviving this old thread. Does no one watch this anymore? I only recently began and just finished the Reichenbach Falls episode, and I must say, to borrow a british term, it's bloody brilliant. I love the entire cast and the actor who plays Moriarty is great. They all are I guess, even Mrs Hudson. I guess my favorite episode so far was The Hounds of Baserville episode because there were truly creepy moments in it. And I loved Irene Adler.

I have watched some of this recently and I have to admit that Benedict Cumberbatch is pretty good in the role. Everything I've seen of him outside of the show has put me off, especially when he goes on TV and they have him read R. Kelly lyrics and this awful man is legitimized because LOL a British actor is reading his lyrics. He's very good here though. And wow does he have a deep voice.

I'm more mixed on Martin Freeman, who is good, but not quite Watson for me.

Mrs. Hudson is a little too much of a caricature.

Always nice to see Rupert Graves, perpetually gorgeous and talented man that he is.

I enjoy Mark Gatiss as Mycroft.

The show seemed to have huge changes in tone for the third season, I guess because of the increased popularity of the actors, or because of the show wanting to pander to their fanbase.

Season 3 comes to Netflix on Monday and will include bonus making-of specials for each episode, as well as a behind-the-scenes feature that looks at the making of the whole series. Cool!

In the meantime, I finished season 1. Episode 3 was a bit of a bore for me but, damn, that was a great cliffhanger they left it on.

Probably around the same time.   The producer said he had received a bunch of comments that Holmes relied on his cell phone too much, so they did this one classic Holmes story to prove to everybody they could do it.   Then the regular show goes back into production soon but that means nothing else til 2017 I think.

      Well, I think she's trying to be funny, and it's technically accurate, if misleading. If you leave out the Sonni part it's "Josh left Reva to (go to) Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa." I guess "Josh left Reva after finding out the child she was carrying was his father's, and miscarried because of her drugged out step-daughter-in-law, where he met a woman with split personality..." isn't as "snappy".

      Thanks for the info. Timm was a model for years, so one could speculate he may have done something like nudity etc... that violated CBN's moral clause. He was good in the role. He had an awesome mop of 80's blow dried hair that would rival Ted McGinley.....LOL

      Before I met Reva, I really did enjoy Josh and Annie. The beginning of their relationship was really cute, the flirting and chemistry was there. I was fully into it, but then I learned who Jeva was and realized it couldn't sustain. I just read a few interviews that Kim gave online, and it's pretty clear she loves her wine, which I love. I'm a wine guy too, so I'm not surprised she had to have a little here and there to get through some things.

      Soap Opera Awards Shows

      Opinion polls conducted by soap podcasters are not the same as "soap opera award shows".

      Unfortunately, that period of the show would likely just put you to sleep. A part of me agrees, as I do think Robert is a good actor (better than I gave him credit for at the time), but I'm not sure, aside from Harley, how much he ever clicked with other ladies. He did have some spark with Crystal Chappell. I know there were claims they didn't get along either, although I remember reading somewhere (I think) a story about how Michelle was panicking when they had to film the rope ladder scenes in Venezuela, and Kim had to help her through...and Kim had also had a bit to drink.  (I hope I have the details right)

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Thanks for this. I probably remember Empty Nest more fondly than a lot of folks, even in our age group. I remember mainly watching the later seasons whenever I was home on Sat nights simply because Sophia was added to the cast, even though the show seriously lost its momentum after Kristy McNichol left. Always surprised how long NBC just let it run and disappointed on how it became lost/forgotten over time. A few years back once was discussing old tv shows with some folks and they brought how they remembered Kristy McNichol in Family, but none of them remembered Empty Nest until I pushed pertinent details on them.    Fun fact, Grace Zabriskie, best known for her  work on Twin Peaks, appeared in both the series premiere and series finale. (BTW @kalbir I’ve come across some very interesting 1995-96 weekly ratings & commentary look out for them in the next couple days in the 90’s ratings thread!) The 1980-81 season was NBC’S nadir for everything wasn’t it? Primetime was a disaster, daytime was in the toilet, News & Today show were forgotten about, SNL nearly on its last ropes etc. think Johnny Carson was the one thing pushing NBC through and even his show went from 90 mins to 60 mins. Glad they did give Hill Street Blues a Chance though.  Strange CBS Friday nights the Incredible Hulk was only at #46 leading into the #3 and #1 shows. Benson didn’t look too great either. The 8:00/7:00 Fri night slot really was cursed for the duration of the 80’s and 90’s wasn’t it, save for Full House? NBC wouldn’t have a successful newsmagazine until Dateline in what 1991, 1992? Funny though as of 2025 only the original recipe 60 Minutes still does well, as its competitors 20/20, Dateline, Primetime Live or companion shows like 48 Hours are either dead or useless junk to fill out a schedule.
