Sherlock on BBC One and PBS ++++Season four to air in January++++

Sherlock is a absolutely brilliant TV show from the BBC. The three episodes aired on BBC One in July/August and PBS in Oct/Nov of 2010. It did so well in fact that they are going to air three more 90 minute episodes in the fall of 2011. So if you have a chance, watch this show. It's really amazing, we're watching the last episode of season one right now.

Note: It's a modern day Sherlock Holmes and is set in London.

The first two episodes of season 2 have already aired in the UK. I don't think they would wait until May to show them here. Dontknow
I really think they are. Syfy takes forever to show Merlin, just for comparison.

The game is (back) on — and so is Sherlock! In a special encore presentation, Masterpiece mystery! presents season one of Sherlock — three criminally clever whodunits that blow away the fog of the Victorian era as the world's most famous detective enters the 21st century. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch (The Last Enemy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) as Sherlock and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office, UK) as Dr. John Watson, Sherlock re-airs on Masterpiece mystery! on Sundays, January 15, 22, and 29, 2012 at 10pm ET on PBS (check local listings).

Confused

Says it will re-air Season 1 Episode 1: Study in Pink on January 15th on my local PBS channel. It seems Redmexx is correct.

Sherlock: A Study in Pink <-- Season 1 Episode 1
The witty "Sherlock: A Study in Pink" reimagines the Arthur Conan Doyle sleuth as a "high-functioning sociopath" (Benedict Cumberbatch) in modern-day London who draws potential flatmate Watson (Martin Freeman), an Afghanistan War vet, into his orbit.
Well I can't wait that long. Pirate

not really. they don't care about the timing. its markets. look at movie distribution or more applicable top gear. only when there's a threat about money lost due to pirating they'll shorten the window between english premiere and us. this is obscure it enough they can easily hold off on showing it for months in the us market.

I am sure a more mature viewership would wait it out but they definitely lost me. I was going to watch it on Sunday but since they aren't airing it I am off to high seas. Pirate

It just finished too! OMG

they don't lose money. bbc is paid by taxes, and pbs is by donations/fed grants. its just idiotic reasoning of we'll make more money if we make them wait! they learned it with top gear. they've shortened up the windows considerably.

That's right, they don't get any ad $$$, now I feel totally guilt free (not that I was feeling much guilt laugh out loud).

I know BBC is government funded but BBC UK/America channels still makes money from ads, correct? But yeah makes sense to air TG asap here since it's such a huge show.

An interesting news article today...

Quote :
Producers of the BBC's Sherlock series, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch, have said they will take necessary action if the American production Elementary has too many similarities.


'We understand that CBS are doing their own version of an updated Sherlock Holmes', said executive producer at Hartswood Films Sue Vertue.


'We are very proud of our show and like any proud parent, will protect the interest and wellbeing of our offspring,' she told The Independent.



Ms Vertue said that CBS had made an offer to the BBC 'a while back' about filming a remake of the series but nothing had come of it.



She added that reassurances had been made about the network's integrity during talks and she hoped that their own version did not resemble the BBC's production.

The current series has been a huge hit in the States but is currently shown on PBS.

It's grown on me and I enjoy it, wasn't hooked until episode three. However, the UK version is very different and much better. nod
