My hour for tea is half-past five, and my buttered toast waits for nobody.

"There are a lot of detective shows on television, and all of them owe a debt to Sherlock Holmes. The socially maladjusted detective, the bantering partners, the curious charm of a guy who knows he's smarter than anyone else in the room -- USA must have eight shows in development right now with all these elements, to add to the 15 or so I think they already have on the air. So it's nice to see the original back in action, outshining his imitators." - Huffington Post

Oooh, was that a shot across the bows of any quirky (or, at least, they think they're quirky) tv crime fighters currently on the USA Network? Smirk.

Meanwhile: They killed Danno! Vale the One True Danno, pop culture legend (down here, at least) that he was.

But yeah, from my understanding gleaned from the US press and the non-recommendations of friends, the remake sucketh buckets.
