Sherlock Holmes nearly every one not living under a rock has heard of. First coming to be in 1887. He was featured in 4 novels and 56 short stories. Of course created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock has since gone on to have so many incarnations, I think I've lost count. Not sure I can choose a favorite. I like so many. How about you?
My current favorite would have to be the new british version.
ReplyDeleteI have never read any Sherlock Holmes, but I have seen some of the shows that were made.
ReplyDeletedef up the list there...i grew up reading stories of sherlocke...and there have def been a number of mimics to that one too...
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. He grew up with it and still loves it (even the new versions w/Downey, Jr.).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the new BBC show, elementary is okay.
ReplyDeleteI loved them all!
ReplyDeleteI didn't dig the new Holmes movie very mcuh
ReplyDeleteI love Robert Downey, Jr. but that kid who does the British series is pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have a favorite. He's certainly a memorable character!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost impossible not to like Sherlock Holmes! Nice post!
ReplyDeleteI've only seen the Downey versions. I really liked them!
ReplyDeleteWE have seen so many Sherlocks. Old B/W with Basil Rathbone and others. Benedict C. is about the best one. Jeremy Brett was my favorite until B.C. appeared.
ReplyDeleteYes Benedict Cumberbatch is incredible.
