Little tribute to Dallas actor Larry Hagman, who died recently. Little known fact that he actually played Holmes back in 1976:

That's just great!! Thank you for posting, I didn't know that, either.
And Watson was female already!

Bump! You really should watch this.

That was wonderful; I had no idea Hagman had ever done a stint as Holmes--Sherman or Sherlock. Would love to know how it ended...

I liked him in I Dream of Jeannie.

I liked him in I Dream Of Jeannie too, but he will always be JR. Ewing. Dallas was a great show and he still rocked the role twenty one years later in the new Dallas reboot. I will miss his talent, may he rest in peace.

Yeah, I did look for more but sadly that was the only part they have up on YouTube. I guess you'd have to look for the video or try and download it to see the full thing. It's called Return of the World's Greatest Detective.
