[QUOTE="Bud Savoie01, post: 609944, member: 6016"] I belonged to a Sherlockian society when I lived in Rhode Island, The Cornish Horrors. Meetings were joyful and well attended. I saw a portion of the New York version of Holmes. I don't remember any pipe smoking, and John H. Watson, MD was morphed into "Joan Watson," an Asian-American woman. After just a portion of one episode, I turned it off. Jeremy Brett is so perfect for the role that nobody tries to better him; so they come up with garbage like that. I remember some years ago an American company gave a shot at portraying G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown as a New Yorker. Couldn't possibly work and didn't. By the way, Father Brown is a pipe smoker; but unlike Holmes, he is once shown cleaning his pipe. [/QUOTE]
