You’re a Good Man, Sherlock Holmes
Series four of Masterpiece’s Sherlock came to an end Sunday night. I must admit to having seen it twice now: first on TV and then second tonight at the theater. I’m happy to say that they episode held up well. I … Continue reading

Don’t Tell Him How to Get to Sesame Street
There’s a good chance you’ve already seen this: it’s racked up almost 4 million views on YouTube in the last four days. Even so, it’s what I’ve got to serve as a place-holder until I get my thoughts for Sherlock … Continue reading

Lots of good things coming out of Britain over the next few weeks. Tomorrow we see “The Time of the Doctor” and another regeneration. Then, come January, Sherlock and Downton Abbey return to American airwaves. Thankfully, the BBC has released … Continue reading
