I bought my son Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. He isn't reading it so I am. I had not read them since I was a kid. They are worth rereading.

Agreed. Nuttin' but crud on the networks for the most part. I don't know what your take is on Sci Fi, but I've been working my way through the various Star Trek TV series. I have a NetFlix account & rent one disc at a time starting from year 1, disc 1. Watching them in order allows for character development & any back stories to make proper sense as the series progresses. Gene Rodenberry developed the original Star Trek & his theme has carried through each spin off [a western, IE, Wagon Train to the stars, with each episode a morality play]. For the most part the issues in each episode resolve themselves with solid conservative values. And even when some writers try to spin their left leaning views into a story line they end up being discredited sooner or later just like in real life. I've completed Star Trek TOS [the original series - 3 seasons] & Next Generation - 7 seasons. I'm on season 7 of Deep Space Nine & season 5 of Voyager since they originally ran concurrently, but 2 seasons apart. IMO, they beat the daylights out of anything on network TV.
