The 80’s and 90’s BBC version is about as good as an adaption can get. Of ANY book adaption to TV. Jeremy Brett is legit perfect as Sherlock and Watson is perfect in season two when they change actors.

just watched “The Red Headed League” on Pluto.
this is in line with what i was hoping to find (but don’t have entire set on Pluto).

slight deterrence from the book (Moriarty isn’t mentioned in that story in the book but was behind it on the TV series).

but pretty well done.

thanks for the Rec.

i asked for one that tells the original stories set in the time frame Doyle wrote the.

the Benedict Cumberpatch series is neither of those.

There are obviously weeks during the regular season where you have multiple games on at once that are good matchups.

---

sure it happens. but rarely more than 2 such games somewhat overlapping.

now you’re talking about the entire power 4 (and obviously a few top and G5) all playing those types of games in a 48 or so hour period.

In this day in age, you can have multiple games being showed at once. It's not that big of a deal. You can spread out most of the lower tier games early in the week and then get to the bigger bowls and better matchups.

i’m not opposed to somehow forcing those types of games to be scheduled.

i’m opposed to taking football away from us during a time period when football should be on the TV.

People with time off during holiday season. Food, family, and college football.

and for some reason everyone here seems to be hell bent on getting rid of that and reducing it to only 4 games (8 remaining playoff teams) total this week.

you want to play post-season football? make the playoff.

i want to WATCH postseason football.

i can’t believe how many of y’all are trying to take away games.

last night’s games were both entertaining games.
i’d much rather watch that than have to search through Hulu for something that doesn’t suck.

your post above suggested moving them to week 0.

so what are you going tp out on TV in place of the bowl games in December?

ESPN is carrying 17 non-playoff bowl games.
they average just under 2million viewers each (with some getting significantly more than that).

there is literally not a single thing ESPN has the rights to that they can put on in those time slots that will come anywhere remotely close to those viewership numbers.

the NFL isn't going to play games on random Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting in early afternoon some of those days.

they only have rights to Wednesday night for the NBA regular season.


so what will they put on in those time slots?
something that won't even draw 2/3 the amount of viewers as the least watched bowls?


Tennessee vs Illinois and USC vs TCU tonight are both "meaningless" games.
same with 4 of the 5 bowl games being played tomorrow.

would you rather watch (at least) one of those 6 games tonight and tomorrow or the 5:00 Sportscaster on repeat?

This is pretty short sighted. You're not accounting for the opportunity cost that an alternative would bring in if people actually found it entertaining.

---

what alternative are you proposing on a random weeknight in late December?

that's not exactly a new or modern trend for Superheroes.

Jonathan Kent, Uncle Ben, Thomas Wayne, Howard Stark, etc.
all of them are dead father figures that played prominent roles in development of the heroes.


and let's face it, Thor's dad is fricking Odin.
literally THE god that many people have prayed to throughout Norse history.
