I think I have this DVD - some extremely silly distractions! you can see clips on youtube also - it's a 2-season series from 1999/2000 or so (if
it's the same one you are referring to…unless there is a new one?) my dvd has 26 episodes.
"Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century"

22nd century Scotland Yard's inspector Beth Lestrade has inherited all of Dr. Watson's journals (from her ancestor), and she chases
bad guys and comes across a dangerous clone of the original Prof. Moriarty… Has some nods to the original stories (like includes Baker Street Irregulars)--
Her droid Watson reads the journals, aids the rejuvenated Holmes (rejuvenated from his honey-preserved state).... to helpout solving crimes... etc.

Short episodes- a bit crazy, but obviously someone had some fun with these…

1, The Fall and Rise of Sherlock Homes
2. The Crime Machine
3. The Hounds of the Baskervilles
4. The Resident Patient
5. The Scales of Justice

So that it's noted.

There was a cartoon (And a superior one to that, in my opinion) which was dealt with in the 'Bravestarr' universe.

It came sooner and its premise was set later, Holmes fell through time and Moriarty froze himself to awaken when a newspaper fell through this 'time hole'.

It was much more apt - if drivel - and had a better premise for Holmes overall.

I'm not sure if it got it's own show or not as I fell out of contact with cartoons around that time. But it wasn't too shabby considering the state of merchandising/blackmailing parents out of their money.

Either way, the 22nd Century one came after and was no where near as enjoyable (From memory).

I'd recommend you check YouTube for the 'original' - you might enjoy it more.
