Do Normal Shows Like SHERLOCK HOLMES Need To Be Emulated Again?

Question

I first watched these many years ago and saw an episode today. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was an excellent series made during the mid '80s. Two of Holmes' most dangerous rivals are women. However, in sharp contrast to the way females are portrayed and act these days, these ladies are normal in both dress and etiquette.

I have no doubt that if this show was made today it would have a woman beating up Holmes and Watson, along with a female partner who actually is the one solving the puzzles for Holmes.

Good shows like this are sorely needed in our time. THOUGHTS?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Loved it in the eighties, I have the DVD box set.

However, there's room for more interpretations of the world than that given by Conan Doyle, whose views weren't even current or representative at the time he was writing.

Answer 3

Yes, ask any Brit and they'll tell you that Gene Hunt of Life on Mars (see http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=TYxGm1T2Ve... ) is a perfect example of a modern feminized man, in a show that has plenty of women in actions roles.  Then they'll laugh.

Martin Keamy and Ben Linus in Lost are another example - watch them have tea and crumpets and let the women take charge at http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=snhFwgvIOB...

Perhaps you'd know better if you actually bothered to watch TV.
