The Watsonian Weekly

It's our review of the second episode of Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "The Engineer's Thumb." Remember how Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about Watson taking Victor Hatherly out for dinner and saying how beautiful he was? No? Well, things are a little different in Sherlock & Co. world!

Just the review of Sherlock & Co.'s first part of Engineer's Thumb this week. 

This may be a Watson podcast, but oh, that Mycroft. It's our last dance with the Sherlock & Co. incarnation of the older brother for a while, so let's get into it!

Reviewing the latest Sherlock & Co., casting an adaptation of "Speckled Band," seeing what Watson's Literary Agent was doing in 1896, and trying to drum up engagement, it's the Watsonian Weekly for July 15, 2026. 

A little more bite-sized episode this time as we suffer from Mycroft Holmes deprivation after last week's Sherlock & Co. Also, why was Sherlock Holmes balling up those papers on the train to Boscombe Valley to protect Watson?  You don't have to listen long to find out! 

Since Sherlock & Co. introduced its Mycroft Holmes this week, we're all about that, and joined by Johanna Draper Carlson to discuss her favorite Sherlockian character. And if you hold on for all of that, get ready to turn off the podcast, as Watson's Literary Agent gets a bit naughty . . . or does he?

Where did Watson's own TV show fall in a new top ten list? What happens when a Sherlock Holmes series takes a break? Time to find out!

Our host gets a little help from a friend to discuss David Burke's legacy and a fully stocked bull pup squad gets into the return of not-Sherlock in the final part of Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "The Empty House."

CBS's Watson draws to a close and we have opinions on that. And why we're reviewing Sherlock & Co episodes that don't have Watson in them, I do not know!

This year Reichenbach day falls on Monday, just like it did in 1891 and boy is Watson just taking it hard. Either he's in a coma or needing a brain tumor removed, it's all pillow forts and pie to talk about for the bull pups. There will never be a more Watson week of Watsons! Unless it's next week!

Our spoiler-filled reviews of CBS Watson's latest dying dictator episode and podcast Sherlock & Co.'s final part of "The Three Garridebs" inspires more chat than usual, even after some big cuts! (Mostly regarding Doctor Who.) When Watson's in trouble, we just talk like conversation will do for him what clapping did for Tinkerbelle. Enjoy! (Or tolerate! Just listen, okay?)

With Sherlock & Co. and CBS's Watson both placing Watson in dire peril with varying degrees of creative ability, we get right to reviewing the current stuff. So let's get to it!

In a test to see if the Watsonian Weekly can record guerilla style like John H. Watson does on Sherlock & Co., we attempt to cover this year's 221B Con in Atlanta, Georgia and manage to give you practically no information. John Watson is a genius!

We're right to our reviews of Sherlock & Co. and CBS's Watson this week, because Watson is in trouble in two shows and we have places to be! 

The bull pups are full of thoughts this week as we find Watson in dire straits in both podcast land and TV land! He may have killed Moriarty in CBS Watson, but he seems to have brought another person back from the dead with just the power of his mind. And Sherlock & Co. Watson could be in for a Moriarty-based hiatus all his own after a very controversial final chapter of "Six Napoleons." Get ready...

It's almost like the bull pups sensed the upcoming tremors in the Watson Force, even though they recorded before the CBS Watson cancellation news.  T'was a week when both Sherlock & Co. and CBS Watson had a few bones. that needed picking! And apologies for the audio quality of this episode -- lower rez due to the high level of Watson content this month!

Things eventually get weird this week as the bull pup who was apparently our grounding influence didn't make it.

Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers as we discuss the latest offerings from Sherlock & Co., Young Sherlock, and Watson for a very long session with the bull pups.

There's a lot of crime to cover this week, between the mid-season opener of CBS's Watson and the last part of Sherlock & Co.'s adaptation of "Stockbroker's Clerk."  How are these people not in jail? But that's a question that gets asked a lot in other venues these days, so maybe we'll forgive Watson and friends this week.

A new play, more CBS Watson on the horizon, and this is not your grandfather's "Stockbroker's Clerk" on Sherlock & Co. And why did that engineer's thumb have to be a story? All this, this week on the Weekly!

It takes very little to get us excited about a single detail on Sherlock & Co.'s latest episode, one name we haven't heard mentioned in all this time, and in "The Stockbroker's Clerk," one of the most lacklustre adventures of Sherlock Holmes? Inconcievable!

Our review of the second half of the Sherlock & Co. "Beryl Coronet" might have some issues about being stuck in a bookshop, like Watson himself. But there might be dinosaurs by the end of the podcast, if you stick around!

What? The Literary Agent's Ten Percent is at the start this time? Get ready to suffer through that voice before we get to Sherlock & Co.'s Beryl Coronet surprises. 

In celebration of a Watson-filled "Musgrave Ritual" on Sherlock & Co., we're also doing a retro-review of the Granada "Musgrave Ritual," since it had Watson joining what was originally a Sherlock-only tale as well. Enjoy all the Musgrave!

Mainly, our review of the third part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Musgrave Ritual," and probably way too much discussion of the thickness of ice . . . especially for winter.
