Apologies to Conan Doyle
26 November 1999
Warning: Spoilers
When I first heard about this show, I was curious. Now, having seen it, I feel sorry for all Holmes fans who have been insulted by this travesty.

The notion of a chryo-frozen Holmes revived in the future is nothing new. But at least the writers could have taken the time to write some original stories! Each episode is billed as "based on" or "inspired by" the stories of the Canon, but should be credited as "b********* from." Example (consider it a spoiler if you want): An episode titled "The Hounds of the Baskervilles," "inspired by" the original tale. I don't recall werewolves on the moon being part of the novel.

As for Holmes himself, I don't know who this guy is, but he's NOT Sherlock. Wearing a deerstalker and saying "elementary, dear Watson" doesn't make him Sherlock Holmes. This 'toon is way too laid back and friendly. He makes me ill.

Bottom line, Holmesians: AVOID THIS CARTOON AT ALL COSTS!!!
