Talk:Adaptations of Sherlock Holmes

message: What about Watson?
"Sherlock Holmes is the single most frequently filmed fictional character" - for every Holmes there is a Watson, surley?  Therefore Holmes and Watson should be (more or less) tied in this respect.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.166.34 (talk) 16:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

message: They Might Be Giants (1971)Starring: George C. Scott (Holmes), Joanne Woodward (Watson) Director: Anthony Harvey (II)is a cult classic and should definitely be included in the film section of the Sherlock Holmes listing. I've never seen a better Holmes except for Basil Rathbone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.13.84 (talk) 17:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

message: There's a new official (by official I mean licensed) Sherlock Holmes audio series by the company Big Finish Productions. Here's a link about the series: http://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/sherlock-holmes/.
Already a first series has been made with 3 original stories (I think original) which are "The Last Act", "The Death and Life" and "Holmes and the Ripper". The first two will have Roger Llewellyn as Holmes and the 3rd Nicholas Briggs as Holmes.

message: The film part of this entry is particularly weak and would merit an entry of its own (like, for instance, Tarzen depicted in film, which has has its own entry).  The Basil Rathbone series is entirely missing from this section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.71.254.192 (talk) 07:07, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't quite understand as to how Sherlock Holmes in manga and anime can't be related to this article. Is there a nice explanation to this?--Bumblezellio (talk) 06:51, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Those aren't Sherlock Holmes in manga. The description says they just used similar names. It has nothing to do with Doyle's Holmes. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 13:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Then how are Sherlock Hound and Case Closed able to stay in the article. They do not refer to Doyle's Holmes himself either, rather relating it as a variant.--Bumblezellio (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sherlock Hound uses original canon stories and updates them just like Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. That makes it an adaptation. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 14:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you mean by "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century"? How is that related to Doyle's Holmes' stories?--Bumblezellio (talk) 14:48, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Well since this article focus on the original stories of Doyle's Holmes, mind if I place them into Popular culture references to Sherlock Holmes instead to solve this?--Bumblezellio (talk) 15:24, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That would probably be the more correct place for them. I'm not sure if they would belong under "TV" or "Characters modelled on Holmes" but you would probably know which one to put it under. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright thanks about that.--Bumblezellio (talk) 15:33, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

message: has added text about Edith Meiser in the radio section.  I don't believe xe has properly clarified Meiser's role in the history, nor do I believe that xyr sources are valid.  Xe claims that Meiser wrote a program for the NBC radio network, but xe doesn't give a name or air date for this program. The article does mention a program named The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes that was broadcast through the late 1930s and 1940s, but this show is credited to different writers and doesn't appear to be the one xe's mentioning.  I understand that xyr sources appear to be somewhat vague (and the Archive.org page appears to be part of their Wiki (i.e. user editable content) and therefore does not qualify as a reliable source). I invite comment regarding this content.  Given the vagueness and unreliability of the sources, I disinclined to allow this material to remain. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:12, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Note that I have rewritten the section to avoid copyvio issues from the sources.  This does not indicate that I believe the content should remain, but if it is going to remain, it must conform to copyright rules. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Just wondering if the 1971-1973 TV Series The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes should be mentioned or not. Neither Sherlock Holmes, nor Watson appear in the series but rather the series looks at detectives who were literary contemporaries of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. 79.154.24.109 (talk) 23:58, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
