I discovered this vintage Sherlock Holmes series via a few episodes available on the Internet Archive, and they got me hooked right away.
Although the episodes are only 30 minute quickies and some of the plot lines are rather shaky, Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford got the chemistry between Holmes and Watson working quite brilliantly.
I'd say this makes for excellent no-nonsense entertainment before going to sleep instead of picking up a book or magazine.
See if you can get the low priced boxed set by Millcreek, which besides all 39 TV episodes also includes 8 feature length films with Basil Rathborne, Arthur Wontner and Reginald Owen as the master detective. Picture and audio quality are not top notch but for the low price tag it's well worth buying.
