But I'll get around to it eventually. No hurry, though. <br /><br />Pre-VCR, I can well remember the excitement of being there for event television, where if you missed it you might never see it at all. But VCRs changed all that. <br /><br />As for Sherlock, it's only a TV show, for Clapton's sake. There are much more important things to worry about in life.David Morrillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-85465264424715792972013-08-04T07:29:17.255-05:002013-08-04T07:29:17.255-05:00And we know PBS just caters to Sherlockians.
Maybe...And we know PBS just caters to Sherlockians.<br />Maybe you should complain to WGBH in Boston, they are American and have a hand in the production.<br />JohnFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294886206454693626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-47324323774904336172013-08-03T09:48:45.155-05:002013-08-03T09:48:45.155-05:00And they cut scenes. I could almost (but not quit...And they cut scenes. I could almost (but not quite) forgive them on airing it later...but THEY CUT SCENES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, granted, I watched those episodes hours after their airdate because the Sherlock Holmes world is kind and generous, so I saw those scenes. But it bothers me no end that others have NO IDEA that they could have seen Sherlock twirl John around because he's so anxious to have him remember the graffitti message, for example, or that they missed some really great dialogue that PBS thought was disposable. NOTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW IS DISPOSABLE, PBS! <br /><br /><br /><br />So, yeah, we know about it, PBS. And there are already a zillion fanvids, fics, memes, etc. floating about the internet when the clip isn't even 24 hours old, but we know about it because of sites like Sherlockology and thousands of other generous souls on the Internet. If you could air the S3 episodes in tandem with BBC (time difference accounted for, of course), and uncut, you'd see your rating jump through the proverbial roof, compelete with mass hysteria, and all the love with none of the irritation, but if you wait again, and cut...you're missing out on something special.<br /><br />(Leah)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-86189138738056269902013-08-03T09:42:44.304-05:002013-08-03T09:42:44.304-05:00Don't get me started! Cumberbatch has been quo...Don't get me started! Cumberbatch has been quoted as saying he was trying to use his influence to get PBS to show the series concurrent with the BBC airing. I wish him luck with that. I'll probably end up doing what I had to do for the first two series, which was use links of dubious legality. PBS should consider that their ratings might improve if millions of us haven't already seen the unedited version online. Just a thought.Mary Lovinghttp://www.facebook.com/NEofMNnoreply@blogger.com
