CBS has announced a modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation called "Elementary." Remove all drinks from the monitor area and read redscharlach's Ten Ideas For A US TV Adaptation Of Sherlock Holmes That Are Worse Than Elementary right NOW!

(That said? I'm not necessarily against the idea of Elementary. I think that the odds of us fucking it up are pretty high, but if it sucks, Sherlock is brilliant. If it doesn't suck and I love it, Sherlock is still brilliant. There's no actual losing proposition for the Sherlock fans.)

Who knows? Maybe it will be decent as long as they don't try to do London.

I was trying to watch some old Sherlock Holmes movies from Hollywood and the one that I started, I stopped 5 minutes in. I swear it was like watching a Humphrey Bogart movie. Sherlock Holmes doesn't talk like someone in a gangster movie.

No, he doesn't. And Watson's not a moron.

(Oddly, I'm not minding the radio plays from the 40s so much, although they do keep stopping to pitch some really ridiculous stuff.)
