Sherlockian Wednesday Watchalongs: June Jumble

Time for a hodgepodge of Holmes we haven't watchalonged before!

All Wednesday watchalong gatherings start at 8:30 pm US Eastern time. (Convert to your local time here.)

Wednesday, June 3 Remember WENN: Armchair Detective (1996 TV episode)

Wednesday, June 10 Young Sherlock: The Case of the Missing Scrolls (2026 TV episode)

Wednesday, June 17 Sherlock & Daughter: The Common Thread (2025 TV episode)

Wednesday, June 24 Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson: Restored-ish™ Edition (two episodes of the 1979 TV series, with the long-missing bits reassembled-ish!)

Here’s the deal: Like Sherlock Holmes? You’re welcome to join us in The Giant Chat of Sumatra’s #giantchat text channel to watch and discuss with us. Just grab a copy of the episode or movie we’re watching, and come make some goofy internet friends.

You could make a 30 minute workplace sitcom written and directed by the creator of "Escape: The Piña Colada Song" set at a Pittsburgh radio station during the 1940s.* It would run for 4 seasons.

You could make an hour-long supernatural comedy-drama about a man (Kyle Chandler) who starts receiving the newspaper a day ahead of time and uses his foreknowledge to change the future for the better.** It would run for 4 seasons.

In the excitement following the wild success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, you could make a show in the mold of the old adventure serials, about a 1930s seaplane pilot in the South Pacific.*** It would run one season but the concept would get ripped off to make Talespin, another unbelievable concept on its own. (You know the bear from Jungle Book? He flies a plane, and King Louis runs a Casablanca-style cabaret.)

I’ve posted previously about my favorite series, which ran for four seasons in the late ‘90s and then fell prey to internal studio politics at AMC, whose director of programming then buried the show and lied about it to both fans and cast members for decades (saying a DVD release was impossible because the masters had been lost).

I was tagged by @hecckyeah​ (thank you!) so in no particular order:

Elementary

I mean they go through some stuff, but also you get 2 series finales and they are both spectacular

Agents of Shield

I mean obviously

Scrubs

This show is a hot mess half the time but I still love it

Babylon 5

Again, parts of it are a mess but also I’m into Bruce Boxleitner so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Remember WENN

I mean there’s only a handful of us that still remember this show. I had to make this gif. Hahaha. I should try to make a better one though.

But basically it’s about a small-town girl trying to make it as a writer at a Pittsburgh radio station in the 1940′s. It’s adorable and everyone should see it...but that’s kind of not possible unless you know where to get the files.
