@@nedludd7622 An interesting point of view. As a child and then as a teenager, I think I read nearly every Sherlock Holmes story Doyle wrote. I eventually started to watch the films starring Rathbone and Bruce. They were accepted by the public as being the iconic Holmes and Watson of their time and made many films together. However, as time progressed new actors took on the role, and Bruce and Rathbone are now indeed slightly antiquated. Now in my 70s, I must admit I find the new versions and stories much more exciting. The two actors were products of their time, but time moves on and they are duly consigned (respectfully I hope 🤔) to film history,
@@ronostick9718 I too am in my 70's and I rarely watch TV. I listen a lot to the radio. I like a few series from the 40's such as Suspense. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be such things on the radio today. I was a great fan of Prairie Home Companion. I also listen to old Studs Terkel radio. As for Holmes, there was a South African 80's radio series which was good. Though the first episode I heard was awful, I gave it a second chance. Thankfully. On TV, the only newer versions of Holmes I have liked are Sherlock with Cumberbatch and a good Watson, and Elementary with Liu as a good Watson. Oh, I didn't like the Brett series.
@@nedludd7622 Hi Ned, I did enjoy Jeremy Brett as Sherlock, but I can understand why he is not to everyone's taste with his over-the-top portrayal. Being in the UK I am not privy to some of the programmes you have mentioned, and although I do not listen to much radio now, what I do however, is listen to a lot of recorded radio programmes on TH-cam that have been uploaded for our enjoyment. I am forever grateful to the people who take the time and effort to upload these gems for our enjoyment. As well as Sherlock Holmes I enjoy programmes such as The Clitheroe Kid, TheNavy Lark, The Men From The Ministry, all British comedies. and I love listening to R D Wingfield's plays. Agatha Christie's Poirot and Miss Marples are also highly enjoyable to listen to. As for American programmes, I am partial to Father Knows Best, Have Gun Will Travel, and The Lone Ranger to name just a few. Greetings to you from Yorkshire in England.
A very interesting plot. 🤔 Thanks "CT".
A good plot, but this Watson is intolerable. He plays a so dumbed-down version.
