The Return of Sherlock Holmes

 

1987 CBS TV movie and failed pilot. With Margaret Colin as Watson and Michael Pennington as Holmes. Originally aired Jan. 10, 1987. My birthday. I watched this one a couple of years ago on Youtube and enjoyed it. I like the dynamic with a female Watson. Same thing was used in the Larry Hagman TV movie in the 70s, which I also liked. With Connie Booth, Daniel Benzali, Barry Morse, Lila Kaye, and Nicholas Guest as Toby. Holmes was frozen and brought back to life in the 80s. Good reviews but it was not picked up.

The Hound of the Baskervilles

 

1972 ABC Movie of the Week TV movie. Continuing my quest to see all of the Baskerville adaptations. This has a poor reputation but does have William Shatner. Stewart Granger as Sherlock Holmes. Bernard Fox as Watson. Found on Youtube. Intended as a pilot for a rotating series of classic detective TV movies. The poor reception of this one killed that idea.

The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire

 

2002 TV movie Sherlock Holmes. Last of the Matt Frewer Hallmark Sherlock TV movies. They're not bad. This is the only one that is an original story.

The Hound of the Baskervilles

 

Canadian TV movie from 2000 with Matt Frewer and Kenneth Welsh, who just died the other day. Found on Youtube. I have watched a couple of other Baskerville adaptations here and I listened to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater version with Kevin McCarthy from 1977 a few nights ago. I got mad because the radio host described Dr. Watson as "bumbling." Hardly. This version of the story is not well liked because of Matt Frewer's performance. It looks really nice, I can say ten minutes in. They ended up making four Sherlock Holmes adaptations with Frewer and Welsh.

These are both nice to have around the house. I have seen a large chunk of the Holmes adaptations, both TV and movies. On DVD I have: Murder by Decree, Without a Clue, Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, Hammer Hound of Baskervilles, The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother. I have the Seven-Per-Cent Solution book and the 1987 TV movie and failed pilot with Margaret Colin, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, was another one I found on Youtube. I am watching the 1976 Larry Hagman TV movie right now (The Return of the World's Greatest Detective.)
