This story first appeared in the Jan. 10, 2013 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. "It started out as something of a joke," creator Rob Doherty confesses of his decision to make the Watson in his Sherlock Holmes tale a woman. When he began to research the story's original characters, he came across a handful of experts who had written up psychological assessments of Sherlock; one of them had noted an aversion to women. "I thought to myself, 'What would make Holmes crazier than taking the figurative rock he has in Watson and making him a woman?' I scribbled

BBC America is reportedly "furious" with CBS over the Us network's plan to produce a modern-day Sherlock Holmes series. Elementary - devised by Medium writer Rob Doherty - will transport Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective to present-day New York.

A 'Us TV source' added: "The success of Sherlock in the UK has been major factor of bringing Elementary to life. We believe this modern twist will appeal to viewers. We want fresh American faces in the role." BBC One's (more)...

Sherlock producer Steven Moffat has reacted with dismay at reports that the U.S. network CBS have asked Timberman and Beverly productions to begin work on a “modern day Sherlock Holmes” drama. Rob Doherty has signed on to write the scripts and Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly will executive produce the show. The network plan to base the drama around Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tales but in this version Britain’s favorite sleuth will be a 21st century man rather than a Victorian era gentleman. Sound familiar? Fans of the UK series reacted angrily to the news and criticized CBS for lacking imagination. This is what Moffat had to say about it on Twitter:
“Dear CBS. A modern day Sherlock Holmes? Where, oh where, did you get That idea?...

Sherlock Holmes is returning to TV screens in a present day setting, updating Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mysteries for modern audiences, and no, I’m not talking about season 2 of BBC’s ‘Sherlock’.
It’s been announced that the Us television network CBS has bought the rights to develop a brand new series that is obviously intended as an American rival to the current and very popular BBC show. Rob Doherty, of ‘Medium’ and ‘Tru Calling’ fame, is set to write the pilot which, if picked up, will more than likely air in the Autumn of next year. Deadline describes the show as ‘a modern take on the cases of the pipe-smoking private eye’ – which sounds incredibly similar to Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat’s recent take on the character.
Although completely unnecessary it would be intriguing to see what CBS would do to differentiate it from the BBC.

Two years ago Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" film surprised quite a few with its fun, adventurous take on Arthur Conan Doyle's stories - in the process raking in a lot of money worldwide and launching an upcoming sequel.
Last year the BBC surprised with "Sherlock", Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss' witty and inventive modern day adaptations of the stories. The three telemovies were a big international success and a second batch are already in the can for airing shortly.
Now, CBS TV Studios are trying to get in on the action and are developing their own contemporary drama procedural take on Doyle's famed literary pipe-smoking private detective character reports Deadline.

Sherlock Holmes is suddenly very popular with the creative (and lazy types). After Guy Ritchie and Robert Downey Jr. made the decidedly very English Detective popular all over again with their movie franchise (a sequel is due out this December), the BBC followed suit with their own TV show called “Sherlock” that brought the smarty pants Detective to the modern age (the second season of that show is due out next year). Now CBS has their own version of Sherlock Holmes gearing up. This newest take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous crime fighter will be yet another “modern take”, this one from CBS TV Studios, with Rob Doherty writing the pilot and will executive produce, along with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly. No idea how different this version of Holmes will be from the BBC version. As popular as it’s become, let’s face it, the vast majority...

The sequel to Sherlock Holmes is heading to the big screen this holiday season, and it looks like a modern day take is heading to the small screen soon. Deadline reprots that CBS has bought Sherlock Holmes, a drama project from CBS TV Studios and Timberman/Beverly Prods. The project is described as "a modern take on the cases of the pipe-smoking private eye created by Arthur Conan Doyle." The series is being written by Rob Doherty and executive produced with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly.
This purchase makes sense with the success of Guy Ritchie's filmis and Masterpiece Theaters Sherlock. I love reading Doyle's stories and am interested in seeing them on the small screen. I have heard such great things about Sherlock.
What are your thoughts on this news?...

Not sure what to make of this...It's kind of unnecessary. But, according to Deadline, CBS is preparing another television series based on Arthur Conan Doyle-created character Sherlock Holmes, set in the present. More below: "CBS has bought Sherlock Holmes, a drama project from CBS TV Studios and studio-based Timberman/Beverly Prods., which is described as a modern take on the cases of the pipe-smoking private eye created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

And this project at CBS seems like the exact same thing. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens with this one. Plus, as many of you know, Guy Ritchie's upcoming sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows starring Robert Downey Jr. and...
