A woman crawls through Watson's bedroom window in the Sherlock & Co. adaptation of A Study In Scarlet, and we have a lot to say about that. This Watson's experience of women on his second continent takes this episode off the rails, and even a murder doesn't take precedence for the Bull Pups of the Watsonian Weekly!

Things are getting spicy on the non-plains of Utah as the bull pups review the fourth part of Sherlock & Co's adaptation of A Study in Scarlet. And we're not even halfway down that dusty old road!

Our review of Sherlock & Co.'s third part of their Study in Scarlet adaptaion uses the latest Patreon mailbag to get into a doughnut discussion that had to be edited with extreme prejudice, for fear of this …
Show notes
Our review of Sherlock & Co.'s third part of their Study in Scarlet adaptaion uses the latest Patreon mailbag to get into a doughnut discussion that had to be edited with extreme prejudice, for fear of this turning into a breakfast pastry podcast.
October 19, 2026 -- Watson, Utah Highways, and the Mysterious Scarlet

September 27, 2026 -- One for the Diehards
Our weekly review of Sherlock & Co. is a bit sleepy this week, not due to the first part of "The Crooked Man" being bad, mind you, but due to some low energy podcasters! Hopefully our other listener besides …

Our weekly review of Sherlock & Co. is a bit sleepy this week, not due to the first part of "The Crooked Man" being bad, mind you, but due to some low energy podcasters! Hopefully our other listener besides your lovely self won't give up on us this week.
September 21, 2026 -- John in a Dumpster with Less Mycroft
Bruce Partington Plans on Sherlock & Co. comes to a close, and the Bull Pups are here to give one last review, as well as discuss the Patreon-only "Dead Man's Hand"
September 14, 2026 -- It's the Mycroft Show!

August 3, 2026 -- Watson Gets Away Again!
A final review of Sherlock & Co's three part adaptation of the Boscombe Valley Mystery sees Watson escaping murder charges without much concern or discussion on this podcast. I mean, he was in jail for murder …
Show notes
A final review of Sherlock & Co's three part adaptation of the Boscombe Valley Mystery sees Watson escaping murder charges without much concern or discussion on this podcast. I mean, he was in jail for murder, which is something you'd think we'd take seriously, but, no, he's Watson, and even his literary agent can't be implicated in a casino heist when he's naming his gang something that Ocean's Eleven would one day copy! So there.

Two of the three regulars made it home from the Holmes in the Heartland weekend in St. Louis and are here to talk about that and part two of Sherlock & Co.'s "Boscombe Valley" adaptation. (But we're tired so …
Show notes
Two of the three regulars made it home from the Holmes in the Heartland weekend in St. Louis and are here to talk about that and part two of Sherlock & Co.'s "Boscombe Valley" adaptation. (But we're tired so don't expect too much!)
July 20, 2026 -- Watson Goes To Health Camp
Boscombe Valley is not the place we remember from Conan Doyle in the episode Sherlock & Co had for us, so let's discuss!
July 13, 2026 -- Enola Gets Hers Before Watson
We've got Enola Holmes 3 to talk about and she finally has an adventure with Watson in it! After that, back to Sherlock & Co.'s final part of "The Engineer's Thumb," a triumph for some, a tragedy for others!

It's our review of the second episode of Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "The Engineer's Thumb." Remember how Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about Watson taking Victor Hatherly out for dinner and saying how beautiful …
Show notes

Since Sherlock & Co. introduced its Mycroft Holmes this week, we're all about that, and joined by Johanna Draper Carlson to discuss her favorite Sherlockian character. And if you hold on for all of that, get …
Show notes
Since Sherlock & Co. introduced its Mycroft Holmes this week, we're all about that, and joined by Johanna Draper Carlson to discuss her favorite Sherlockian character. And if you hold on for all of that, get ready to turn off the podcast, as Watson's Literary Agent gets a bit naughty . . . or does he?
May 25, 2026 -- Watson Makes A Top Ten and Takes A Break
Where did Watson's own TV show fall in a new top ten list? What happens when a Sherlock Holmes series takes a break? Time to find out!
May 16, 2026 -- One Watson Gone, One Watson Returned

May 11, 2026 -- Watson at Garbage Hospital
CBS's Watson draws to a close and we have opinions on that. And why we're reviewing Sherlock & Co episodes that don't have Watson in them, I do not know!

This year Reichenbach day falls on Monday, just like it did in 1891 and boy is Watson just taking it hard. Either he's in a coma or needing a brain tumor removed, it's all pillow forts and pie to talk about for …
Show notes
This year Reichenbach day falls on Monday, just like it did in 1891 and boy is Watson just taking it hard. Either he's in a coma or needing a brain tumor removed, it's all pillow forts and pie to talk about for the bull pups. There will never be a more Watson week of Watsons! Unless it's next week!
April 27, 2026 -- Watson Really Needs A Doctor
Our spoiler-filled reviews of CBS Watson's latest dying dictator episode and podcast Sherlock & Co.'s final part of "The Three Garridebs" inspires more chat than usual, even after some big cuts! (Mostly …
Show notes
Our spoiler-filled reviews of CBS Watson's latest dying dictator episode and podcast Sherlock & Co.'s final part of "The Three Garridebs" inspires more chat than usual, even after some big cuts! (Mostly regarding Doctor Who.) When Watson's in trouble, we just talk like conversation will do for him what clapping did for Tinkerbelle. Enjoy! (Or tolerate! Just listen, okay?)
April 20, 2026 -- Things Aren't Looking Good For Watson!
With Sherlock & Co. and CBS's Watson both placing Watson in dire peril with varying degrees of creative ability, we get right to reviewing the current stuff. So let's get to it!
