The Watsonian Weekly

How do you adapt "The Mazarin Stone" without adapting "The Mazarin Stone?" This week we found out! And isn't adapting old Sherlock Holmes stories "folly" anyway according to one Sherlock Holmes fan of note? This is the week to wonder such things!

Is there another star of Watson's own who besides Watson? Does changing the ending to "Abbey Grange" make it even more depressing? And what the heck was Watson's literary agent actually doing on his honeymoon? It's all here!

Watson is bringing us a new Sherlock, we have news of a third Watson brother, and modern day John hangs out with the elderly and loves it. Here we go again!

The episode starts with the bull pups reviewing the Sherlock & Co. start to their version of "Abbey Grange," but if you hang on until we pass the 35 minute mark, you can hear the John H. Watson Society discuss a story that appeared just before Sherlock's first tale in The Strand Magazine that seems it might be about Sherlock Holmes as well.

Somehow discussed the much enjoyed conclusion to Sherlock & Co.'s "Priory School," Mariana leads us into an international soda pop discussion. And who is Sherlock the AI's Watson according to a certain site? Scraping the news for that single Watson story.

Moriarty pops up a lot in this episode. Perhaps that's why it ends a little more abruptly than usual.

The bull pups run through part one of Sherlock & Co.'s Priory School adaptation looking for a certain brother, then the Literary Agent's Ten Per Cent pushes his novels. It is what it is, as always!

A very short episode discussing the Sherlock & Co last of "Blanched Soldier." And how do you spot a lectroid Watson? Asking for a friend.

Sherlock & Daughter Watson finally gets a mention, Robot Watson gets considered by a lively blog, and the Bull Pups & Co. review the first "Blanched Soldier" bit from Sherlock & Co., before Watson's cricket-playing literary agent gets his 10%.

As the bull pups discuss the final part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Scandal in Bohemia," Irene Adler brings out a lot more debate than usual. Still no talk about "Sherlock & Daughter" though, since it's not Daughter Watson!

Okay, so the title of this episode is teasing a bit near the end. Most of the episode is about the fourth part of Sherlock & Co.'s fourth part of their "Scandal in Bohemia" adaptation, which we sure hope you're listening to. But Watson's literary agent did tell some Canadians a big fat fib some one hundred and eleven years ago. Ooo, they must have been so mad! 

The Sherlockian top ten from the Barque Lone Star meetings creeps onto the podcast in a very different delivery than on that Zoom. And much editing went into limiting the bull pups discsussion of aluminum/aluminium, so thank your lucky stars you were saved more of that than you can even imagine during our review of the third part of Sherlock & Co's "Scandal in Bohemia."

Watson news, much talk about Sherlock & Co and where this version of "A Scandal in Bohemia" seems headed, and a bit about signs of trouble in Watson's relationship with his literary agent.

A pretty slim episode, mostly reviewing the Scandal in Bohemia intro for Sherlock & Co. And where was Watson's literary agent in 1923 and what does it have to do with Margot Robbie? Yep, really fishing for material this week!

All the bull pups are back for one final episode of CBS Watson for 2025! The show plainly got us invested because we have OPINIONS! Heed the trigger warning, ye fans who don't like to see surgery performed on a beloved show, because some knives may come out, along with spoilers galore.

One bull pup is silently typing in the chat this week, but we still managed to convey our excitement for Sherlock & Co.'s wind-up to "Charles Augustus Milverton" and what lies ahead!

The bull pups are all worked up about the penultimate episode from CBS Watson's first season!  Moriarty and Watson together again for the first time!

Sometimes I think the commentary on the Sherlock & Co podcast protects this podcast from listeners who would find "The Literary Agent's Ten Percent" an insult to Watson's literary agent. But this week's Sherlock & Co. was so on the money for "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton" that they might make it through. (Also, we're getting Sherlock Holmes's cousin before his brother? What?!?)

The bull pups are back to talk about CBS Watson's eleventh episode which brings up Watson's war service. Wait long enough and we might even mention Jeremy Brett, old school fans!

The London 1891 business at the John H. Watson Society Meetings continues, and Charles Auguestus Milverton raises his nasty, nasty head yet again, this time on Sherlock & Co. So we have to talk about it, right? Maybe someone doesn't like that . . .

The bull pups are back to discuss episode ten of CBS's "Watson," the case entitled "The Man with the Alien Hand." Evil hand fans rejoice!

We've got monkey Watson news, our latest review of Sherlock & Co. on the fabulous and fun Lady Frances Carfax, and what was going on with Moriarty and Watson's literary agent this time? 

Our spoiler-filled review of the ninth episode of CBS's Watson, "Take A Family History," in which we discuss Ingrid Darian only slightly more than usual.

Look kindly upon us, dear listener, as we attempt to do a podcast from the remains of 221B Con 2025 in Atlanta. One of our pups is missing, but we dragged in a host of other Sherlockians to chat about what went on, Sherlock & Co., and more. It's disorganized, produced on the fly, and either the worst or best episode in a while. Good luck! 

Sherlock & Co. has made it to "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" this week, and our ability to review it winds up being a little short handed this time. Next week, we make make up for it!
