(22,136 posts)I missed so much the first time - the crimes could be complicated.
The draw for me though is the unique relationship between Sherlock and Joan. TV usually only serves up passion as the end all. This one is so different and mature.

(5,525 posts)I think that there was a remake of the series a few years back but I haven't watched it yet.
Floyd R. Turbo
(32,891 posts)Key Details of the 2005 Reboot:
Premise: Focused on Kolchak investigating supernatural crimes, driven by the mysterious murder of his wife.
Cast: Featured Stuart Townsend as Carl Kolchak, Gabrielle Union as Perri Reed, and Eric Jungman as Jain.
Tone: Shifted from the original's lighthearted, campy tone to a more serious, gritty, and serialized approach.
Production: Produced by Frank Spotnitz and aimed to capitalize on the supernatural popularity created by The X-Files.
Reception: While it garnered a small cult following, it failed to capture the charm of the original and was canceled prematurely.

Other Projects:
Johnny Depp: Has expressed interest over the years in producing/starring in a film remake.
Reddit/Fan Proposals: Discussions have surfaced regarding potential new adaptations, including focusing on a "legacy" character.

(3,693 posts)And of course, I've seen every episode of Star Trek (TOS) multiple times over the years, most of them probably 4-5 times.
Young Sheldon, Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, and Sherlock Holmes (Benedict version) I've watched through twice.
Shows I've watched the whole series (once): Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Monk, The Closer, Major Crimes, Burn Notice, Castle, Bones, Elementary, Rizzoli & Isles, Grimm, Vampire Diaries, Seinfeld (but only saw ALL of them a couple years ago)
I've never watched the The West Wing (but plan to!), The Sopranos, The Wire, or Deadwood (but may eventually
). I've also only seen a couple L&O and NCIS and X-Files episodes, ever, same goes for Friends.
Come to think of it, I honestly barely watched TV from 1987-2007. The only things I watched often were South Park, Married w/Children, Simpsons, Seinfeld, and SNL.

Absolutely, lots of familiar faces. James Spader is awesome in that and Blacklist. I just read that him and JFK Jr were good friends since high school. Anyway, I rewatched a lot of shows during the pandemic. One thing America does well- TV and movies.

You guys will think I'm crazy, but I've been catching many of the old Saturday Night Live shows from way back. I started getting interested last year during the 50th Anniversary. It doesn't matter what order you watch the old shows, and admittedly the quality is hit-or-miss.

(1,289 posts)Doc Martin is a comedy/drama British series about a renown London vascular surgeon, Martin Ellingham, who develops a blood-phobia and can't operate any more. He takes a job as a general practitioner in the Cornish fishing village of Portwenn. Martin is cold, aloof, has a poor bedside manner and thinks the locals in Portwenn are stupid. Some of the locals are eccentric and the interaction of the and Martin's personality make for very funny situations.
Eureka is a scifi/comedy centering around US Marshal Jack Carter. Jack is taking his runaway daughter, Zoe, to his ex-wife in L.A.. On their way, their car is in an accident and they spend the day in Eureka in the Pacific Northwest. However, not all is as it seem in Eureka. Eureka was founded by the federal government where geniuses could work and live to advance scientific knowledge. While in the town, a little boy disappears and the geniuses in the town can't figure out where he is. Jack quickly solved the problem and found the boy safe. Impressed by Jack's actions, the head of the town contacts the US Marshal's office and Jack gets reassigned as the town's sheriff. Jack has average intelligence in a town of geniuses and soon Jack is called upon to handle a lot of problems the geniuses caused.
10 Turtle Day
(1,218 posts)I started watching Best Medicine, but have never seen Doc Martin. Best Medicine is exactly as you described, except Port Wenn is located in Maine and spelled as two words.
They did that with Ghosts, a copy of the original UK Ghosts.
LogDog75
(1,289 posts)I watched a couple of episodes of Best Medicine and it's, IMO, a poor imitation of Doc Martin. About the only redeeming thing about Best Medicine is Annie Potts is in it.

Then, there are the individual shows I've seen in syndication over the many years that probably add up to watching the whole series twice (or more):
I Love Lucy, The Thee Stooges shorts, The Little Rascals shorts, All in the Family, The Andy Griffith Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Prisoner, Seinfeld, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents/The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, etc...
