Hello everyone, new episode of the podcast is up where we talk about Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, a cartoon where Sherlock Holmes fights crime in the future. If I had a nickel, weird that it happened twice, two nickels, etc etc.

Didn’t know how good you had it with Filmation, huh?
I know I must have seen at least a couple episodes of this, it was on right after school when I would have been too tired and bored to channel surf. But all I can clearly recall is the theme song, which gets caught in my head every few months.
Which is godawful because, like all instances of a song stuck in your head, it doesn’t play properly. Instead, since the song is nothing but “Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century!” about 20 times, my brain won’t rest until it has recited that 2000.
Wow, I was just thinking about this one. I think I caught one episode as a kid but by that time I knew Fox Kids wasn’t sharing their best so I focused on other things.
In retrospect it’s amusing to find out that the episode titles actually came from the stories Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote.
This is one of those shows I remember seeing on tv as a kid, but I remember nothing of but the theme sequence. Don’t know if that says much about the show. Also in that category are Thunder Cats and that Stargate animated children’s show (anyone remember that? I’m pretty sure I’m not making that up).
OK I remember this show but what was other cartoon about Sherlock Holmes fighting crime in the future?
So in the last episode we reviewed Bravestarr which had an episode that was a backdoor pilot for a completely unrelated series called Sherlock Holmes in the 23rd century.
Well now I want to see a crossover between BRAVESTAR and the other Sherlock Holmes-does-Science Fiction show (If only so the good marshal – or one of his posse – can use exactly that line).
