The world's greatest detective is back -- and this time, he's fighting crime in the brave new world of the 22nd Century!
After Sherlock Holmes is brought back from the dead, he is rejuvenated to that of a 25 year-old to help good friend Inspector Beth Lestrade battle an unprecedented crime wave wreaking havoc on this peaceful future. To assist Holmes, the personality of his loyal friend and companion, Dr. John Watson, is programmed into the brain of an android. They quickly lock wits once again with the consummate criminal: Professor James Moriarty, the only adversary Holmes ever considered an equal. Like Holmes, he's been brought back to life by 22nd Century technology. Unlike Holmes, Moriarty is determined to dominate the crime-free world of the future.
Features over 11 hours of crime fighting, world saving action and suspense.

I bought this as a blind buy and I must say I am really enjoying the show. The storylines are well-crafted and the animation is great. However, there appears to be a glitch on Disc #1 in the episode entitled "The Scales of Justice": at time interval 3:29 the disc freezes (and it's not a normal layer transition freeze) and then jumps immediately right into the middle of another scene with Holmes and crew fighting mythical creatures. The timer on my DVD doesn't skip ahead and the total episode runs at 16:06 minutes rather than the normal 22 minutes, so obviously about 6 minutes of footage is missing. I think it is an error how the disc was manufactured and I will be contacting Mill Creek Entertainment about the issue. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

UPDATE 11/11/12:
Mill Creek recently send me a pressed replacement Disc #1 and the episode plays just fine now, so it appears that they have fixed glitch. If you find that you have purchased a copy that still has the glitch, email Mill Creek at support@millcreekent.com to request a replacement disc.

I remember this show from when I was an early teen. I was always a fan of the character of Sherlock Holmes but could never get into Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books at that age. Then this cartoon came along. Being a scifi geek I gravitated towards it. It continues where the books ended with Holmes and Moriarty dying together over a waterfall but instead Holmes managed to save himself. He continued his career in secret until he died at a ripe old age. His remains, which were perserved in honey, are reanimated in the future when it turns out 22nd century criminals have cloned Moriarty. Inspector Lestrad is replaced by his great great great granddaughter and lovable Dr. Watson is replaced by an android with his complete works and journals downloaded in it's harddrive. The three then track Moriarty and solve various cases modeled after each original Holmes story... Hounds of Baskervilles, The Red Headed League, etc. with a futuristic twist. Great for kids who love scifi and want to try a little classic literature too and great for adults because it's still quite intelligent and very entertaining. My only complaint about this wonderful show is it didn't last longer. Enjoy.
Funny Fact: Doyle never intended to write the last Sherlock Holmes book. He wanted to leave the characters of Holmes and Moriarty in an eternal chase..one never catching the other as a metaphor for the never ending struggle of good and evil. But his publishers and fans badgered him relentlessly for years to at least finish off the series with some sort of closure. So he did. He killed them both off out of pure spite. Haha.

As a long term Holmsian I sometimes (well, usually) find myself in the minority when discussing this series with fellow fans, most of whom dismiss it as pure non-canonical rubish. I, however, quite enjoy it, and have ever since I first discovered it back in 2000 or so. To be honest, the stories stay far truer to charactor than most interpretations of Holmes, far more so than Basil R., for example. And it's the perfect way to introduce children to the great detective.
Each tale is based on one of A. Conan Doyle's original masterpieces (some, I must say, more than others) and names and referances from the classics abound. If you have any love for Sherlock mysteries, go ahead and pick up a copy. You can claim it's for the kids if you must, but you'll find yourself popping it in when they're not around.

I ordered the wrong cd. I thought this was an educational cd. Will need to return. It was categorized in the wrong section - I think.
