All this BBC Sherlock, CBS Elementary and remakes of Sherlock Holmes in the modern age talk reminded me of this.
It was Sherlock Holmes in the motherfucking future! In the 22nd century to be exact where everything in the future was like Victorian London plus cyberpunk.
Also part of my childhood…..
That theme song will haunt me to my gave.
My Childhood Sherlock Holmes in modern times was The Adventures of Shirley Holmes.
It had a kickass female lead, and stayed connected to the original Sherlock story by having it dealing with Sherlock Holmes’s great grand Niece and not have her solely be a gender bent Sherlock Holmes. It was an original series with Original Characters with similar but different characteristics to that of the source material. It wasn’t just blatantly changing things to suit the needs of the creators and still call it Sherlock. It was everything that the CBS Sherlock only wishes it could be. And it was a kids show made in Canada!
Also, Moriarty? Her name was ‘Molly Hardy.’ I just get a kick out of that name!
OMG! I think I saw that as a kid too! I mean the theme seems very familiar to me.
Might have to check this out now!
A weird part of my childhood whose theme song gets stuck in my head at least once a week.
I was wondering when people would bring this up on tumblr. I used to watch this show all the time.
