Anyone else catch this on PBS?
Definitely TV worth watching (or recording to watch later).
(but i liked The Wire, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, Carnivale and Seinfeld so i am probably biased)

Yes. Absolutely love it. One of my favorites. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are two of my favorite actors right now.

So, Andrew . . . wasn't Martin Freeman's fiancée, in the season opener, the same lass who played the receptionist/whatever who gave Saxondale hell at the Pest Control Labor Exchange? (in that BritCom by the same name?) I know that I could have Googled the answer, but I'm simply testing my feeble "powers of observation". =)

That isn't such a strange question if one considers the fact that the Saxondale star just co-starred with Julie Dench in a film nominated for an Academy Award. =)

Never mind. I was wrong. It wasn't her.
(as i said: "feeble powers of observation" . . . but i still thought Saxondale was a hoot. =)

Sorry . . . Tonight's episode of Sherlock (season 3) was the best thing I've seen on television in a long, long time.
From start to finish.

My wife and I both agreed that whoever acts the parts, the writers of the script are far, far beyond amazing.
(not to mention the cinematography and editing!)

Did season 3 premiere today on PBS? I just finished watching the last episode of the season on BBC. It's sooo good.

Yes. Last night's episode was the season opener for Season 3. The title was: "The Empty Hearse". It involved the threat of a terrorist attack on London. It was the best episode I've seen so far.

Great show all the way around! I only wish the seasons were longer than 3 episodes! Already can't wait for the next season.

Since I am more like John Watson than Sherlock Holmes,
I set my expectations a bit lower:
I already can't wait for the next episode. =)
(even if i've got a low-rent "memory palace" and everything. =)

Another Kudos to PBS.
(from a nominal 'conservative')

I forgot to mention, on "the front end"--above--that I am also a big fan of "Corner Gas" and "DaVinci's Inquest". so . . .=)

and, in case it hasn't been said previously, "Welcome Aboard, hfry"

I promise they continue to get better.

Those Brits certainly do have a way with "production values" . . .
I wonder what the British equivalent of "Honey Boo Boo" or "Duck Dynasty" might be . . .
(perhaps . . . "Are You Being Served" "Benny Hill" or one of those other depressing Britcoms?)

Please don't include "Keeping up Appearances". I've seen every episode and still watch it over and over.

Corner Gas is one of the best things that has happened in the history of ever.

I've heard good things about this show, I'll have to start at the beginning.

I think that there is a pirated version of Episode 1 of Corner Gas available on Youtube.

oh . . . you probably meant Sherlock for The New Millenium.
(watch that first. starting with episode one. context is critical)

Corner Gas is one of the best things that has happened in the history of ever.

For the sake of artistic integrity and bridge-building with vague sherlockian clues for the confused:

Corner Gas - Ruby Reborn - Part 1 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nMXV4NG4gQ&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLD0DFE83FBB597D89)

Every single episode is on Youtube. They have a channel.

I re-watched the most recent episode--actually I watched, for the first time, the first ten minutes of the episode previously broadcast and then rerun--and it was worth the time invested. I won't aver that it was better than the season premier, yet, I will admit that it was "TV worth watching." Even with all that awkward wedding stuff and whatever . . . =)
