Here is a very recent photo of Holmes & Watson (or should I say Bilbo Baggins & Gandalf), Martin Freeman and Ian McKellen (Comic-Con 2012)
(FYI - Ian McKellen played Holmes in a Saturday Night Live skit):

The boys look a little worn out from the flight from New Zealand.

What do you think of Martin's hat?

"New Paradigm Studios is releasing their own take of the famous detective and partner Dr. John Watson in the upcoming series, Holmes and Watson, which will reimagine both characters as African-Americans.  Written by Karl Bollers and illustrated by Rick Leonardi, the series notes that their intepretation of Holmes and Watson are unique as they are 'a rarity in today's comic marketplace- African American men who are smart, well spoken, old fashioned heroes.'

An eleven page preview of the comic shows Watson as a broad-shouldered doctor working in an emergency room, while Holmes is portrayed as in dreadlocks, fedora and a wardrobe not dissimilar to the one worn by Benedict Cumberbatch's character in the BBC series Sherlock."

Perception  is on TNT,  Sherlock is on PBS,   and  Elementary  will be on  CBS  in the fall for USA.   I  don't get why PBS  is sort of claiming that THEY  own  SHERLOCK,  when in fact it is a BBC  production and it airs in the BBC  at least  6 months before PBS  gets it.   That's my only beef with this article.

I suggest you read "A Study in Celluloid: A Producer's Account of Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes" by Michael Cox, for a better understanding of the PBS role in the making of a Sherlock Holmes series. Without PBS backing and guarantees for American viewing, that great series would never had been made.

Since we are aware John will show anger towards Sherlock when he returns, I'd love to see Sherlock give John the inside information on a big horse race ala what occurred in 'The Silver Blaze'. John scores a big win ($$$) at the track that day, and all is well again between the boys. Silly? Yes, but everybody loves a winner baby.

In "Perception," which premiered Monday, the central characters aren't named Holmes and Watson. However, the similarities are clear: Pierce, a neuroscience professor who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, is highly eccentric, devours classical music and is brilliant at solving crimes. He has two companions: a female partner who works for the FBI (Rachael Leigh Cook) and a live-in assistant who helps keep Pierce on task.
Further linking these Holmes-style characters is a similar mode of dress - lots of big coats and flowing scarves - and, of course, their various addictions.

Sounds like to me that 'Perception' got the jump on 'Elementary' on American TV. Who is ripping off who these days?

I didn't watch, did anyone here see it?

Good deductions all, and thanks for the welcomes. Yes male (and don't mind being outnumbered), yes American (but Grandma is from Ireland), but no, I wouldn't say I LIKE Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes, I'd say I LOVE him in the role (and Martin as Watson too!).
