The Watsonian Weekly

A pretty slim episode, mostly reviewing the Scandal in Bohemia intro for Sherlock & Co. And where was Watson's literary agent in 1923 and what does it have to do with Margot Robbie? Yep, really fishing for material this week!

All the bull pups are back for one final episode of CBS Watson for 2025! The show plainly got us invested because we have OPINIONS! Heed the trigger warning, ye fans who don't like to see surgery performed on a beloved show, because some knives may come out, along with spoilers galore.

One bull pup is silently typing in the chat this week, but we still managed to convey our excitement for Sherlock & Co.'s wind-up to "Charles Augustus Milverton" and what lies ahead!

The bull pups are all worked up about the penultimate episode from CBS Watson's first season!  Moriarty and Watson together again for the first time!

Sometimes I think the commentary on the Sherlock & Co podcast protects this podcast from listeners who would find "The Literary Agent's Ten Percent" an insult to Watson's literary agent. But this week's Sherlock & Co. was so on the money for "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton" that they might make it through. (Also, we're getting Sherlock Holmes's cousin before his brother? What?!?)

The bull pups are back to talk about CBS Watson's eleventh episode which brings up Watson's war service. Wait long enough and we might even mention Jeremy Brett, old school fans!

The London 1891 business at the John H. Watson Society Meetings continues, and Charles Auguestus Milverton raises his nasty, nasty head yet again, this time on Sherlock & Co. So we have to talk about it, right? Maybe someone doesn't like that . . .

The bull pups are back to discuss episode ten of CBS's "Watson," the case entitled "The Man with the Alien Hand." Evil hand fans rejoice!

We've got monkey Watson news, our latest review of Sherlock & Co. on the fabulous and fun Lady Frances Carfax, and what was going on with Moriarty and Watson's literary agent this time? 

Our spoiler-filled review of the ninth episode of CBS's Watson, "Take A Family History," in which we discuss Ingrid Darian only slightly more than usual.

Look kindly upon us, dear listener, as we attempt to do a podcast from the remains of 221B Con 2025 in Atlanta. One of our pups is missing, but we dragged in a host of other Sherlockians to chat about what went on, Sherlock & Co., and more. It's disorganized, produced on the fly, and either the worst or best episode in a while. Good luck! 

Sherlock & Co. has made it to "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" this week, and our ability to review it winds up being a little short handed this time. Next week, we make make up for it!

The John H. Watson Society bull pups are back to discuss the eighth episode of CBS's Watson, "A Variant of Unknown History." Does Sherlock Holmes have a son? We're ready to spoil all sorts of things about the episode!

Some talk on the finale of Sherlock & Co.'s Norwood Builder finale and not much more, as we had to keep it short. Enjoy!

Back from Dayton with not enough reporting on the conference thanks to a forgotten laptop and a quick deadline, but Watson's new pal Gwen is up for some fun with Sherlock (or at least we find it fun) and dark rumours are swirling about Watson's literary agent in 1891.

With CBS's Watson's sixth episode, we might just have hit the best one so far -- with the exception of a couple classic Sherlock Holmes characters whose mention makes one of the pups mad. It's full of spoilers, but if you enjoy Watson and are caught up on episodes, come, enjoy the enjoyment!

Police Commissioner Dame Gwendolyn Lestrade has finally come to Sherlock & Co. and Watson better straighten up. Moriarty's agents are infiltrating the John H. Watson Society. And who's playing soccer against mere children? Say it ain't so!

Glowing chests, blood pockets, and . . . corgis? Well, maybe that last bit shouldn't be this week, but it's time to talk CBS Watson again!

Was it daylight savings time that cut this episode's length back? You might think so, after listening to this, but it actually wasn't. The bull pups chat about part one of Norwood Builder on Sherlock & Co., and that's about it.

What can we say about an episode of CBS Watson without all the Sherlockian references? Actually pretty good! (With a few Pennsylvania disclaimers!) The fourth episode was out this week and we're talking about it!

Special guest bull pups Johanna Draper-Carlson and Naching Kassa are back again this week as we cut to the chase and devote almost a whole hour just the the conclusion of Sherlock & Co.'s Wisteria Lodge adaptation and an ominous development for John, Sherlock, and Marianna.

We double the number of bullpups commenting on the third episode of CBS's Watson where stand-up comedy gives way to Moriarty-induced halllucinations. Spoilers galore, of course!

Bull pup Tex stops by after the usual bull pup chat to give us a fact-free biography of Watson's literary agent as delivered at our latest meeting. And Sherlock & Co. Watson was being very stupid this week at Wisteria Lodge, and we hate to call him out on that, but we have to do what we have to do.

Bullpups Calder, Starlight, and Sunshine (Brad, Heather, and Naching) convene to chat about the second episode of CBS's Watson, and, boy, do they have thoughts on the show. Spoilers, of course!

Special guest bull pups Johanna Draper-Carlson and Naching Kassa join the team this week to talk about the start of the Sherlock & Co. adaptation of "Wysteria Lane?" They'll help us figure that title out. And Watson's literary agent's strange deal with Watson resurfaces in a most curious fashion. Time to get your Watson in, Watsonians!

Forced to wait another week for CBS's Watson and maybe a little disappointed with how Sherlock & Co.'s Black Peter turned out, the Bull Pups turn to Watson's Schrödinger's cat of a wife to fill some time. Later, Watson's literary agent dines at Watson and Stamford's favorite lunch spot, but maybe Watson gets let out. Not our biggest episode this year, but here it comes!

We might have had a lot to say about CBS's Watson, as the rest of the internet seems to be doing, but after short review of that, it's back to reviewing John Watson's own podcast, Sherlock & Co., and where they're going with Black Peter and Pooh. Spoiler: We don't know!

When you've got a podcast called "The Watsonian Weekly" and a TV show called "Watson" that's about the very character your podcast is about, you have to talk about that show, and maybe even do a special episode for each episode. Other Watson podcast may come along very soon, especially if the show is successful, but the bull pups of the John H. Watson Society are marking their territory . . . well, okay, change that . . . leading the pack on enjoying the show!

The premiere of CBS's Watson happened this Sunday night, and the bull pups of the John H. Watson Society stayed up late to give it an immediate review. After so many high dog biscuit ratings for Sherlock & Co. on this pod, how will the full John H. Watson Society come down on a new Watson for 2025? You'll find out . . . eventually!

This week, bull pup Sunshine, a.k.a. Naching Kassa, joins us to review Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "The Veiled Lodger." We also raise the question: Did Watson's literary agent give a talk on that very tale for a specific regional crowd? And congratulations to a new Baker Street Irregular who has been key to the John H. Watson Society's history. All this and . . . well, all that, and maybe one more thing, this week on the Weekly!

Why does Sherlock & Co. keeping giving us such lovely characters, even if they're just regular blokes like Mark Merrilow? And why the heck does our Watson's literary agent researcher think that there is a hidden Moriarty novel out there? Not all of these questions will be answered this week!

A moment of remembering Joanne Woodward's Watson and then relating this podcast to a Watson line about his podcast, then we're all about part three of Three Gales on Sherlock & Co. 

We get puppet news, 'pology news, and plenty of praise for the podcast that Watson doesn't want to do right now. 

It's the Christmas season, and to some folks that means it's time to re-watch the movie "Die Hard." What does that have to do with Watson? Well, what if "The Adventure of the Second Stain" was really a rewrite of Watson's own "Die Hard" adventure? Well, you're about to find out. Also, the bull pups review the first part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Three Gables." Watson-type compliments of the season, everybody!

The usual topic gets hard to talk about, but if you hold out long enough, you might get to hear questions about why Watson's Literary Agent visited the neighborhood of 221B Baker Street in 1903.

In an episode that might test your endurance, we go on and on and on and one about part nine of The Sign of Four from Sherlock & Co. Hope that's what you wanted to hear!

We're getting a bit more of CBS's Watson and still more of The Sign of the Four. And what did Watson's literary agent know of Holmes's Ripper investigation? 

A little bit of news on CBS Watson and a whole lot of reporting on Sherlock & Co. Watson and that fills an hour. Enjoy!

When a doctor isn't known for his medical practice and his authorship is usually attributed to another writer, what's left? His relationships, whether he's living in the Victorian era or now. 

The Bull Pups are talking about Sherlock, John, and Marianna's adventures in ancient temple exploration in the latest Sherlock & Co. podcast. And that's about it.

Is there anyone out there that will listen to an hour of raving reviews of Sherlock & Co.'s adaptation of Sign of the Four just to get to "The Literary Agent's Ten Percent"? Because those are the two things you're getting this week. Just wait until January when we have multiple Watsons to go on about! You might get THREE different things in an episode. "Might."

After some news of the coming Watson, we rave about what at least one bull pup calls the best episode of a Sherlockian podcast ever, and then we test Watsonians on their knowledge of Watson's horrors. A lot of listening for the Watson lover in you!

A bit of news, a whole lot of discussion of part two of Sherlock & Co.'s Sign of Four, thanks to the always-problematic Miss Mary Morstan. (Even in Original Canon!) And, after all that, just a touch of Hollamy shipping to wind up the episode.

We were very anxious to talk about Sherlock & Co.'s new adaptation of The Sign of the Four starting up, but Sherlockiana had one of its rare controversies that had to be mentioned first. And it seems to be Baskerville season!

Not even going to explain the title this week, you're just going to have to take the ride. The last part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Resident Patient" gets its Bull Pup review, Sarah Bernhardt gets her moment in the Literary Agent's Ten Percent, and . . . need we say more? Naw. You know how this works.

The bull pups of the John H. Watson Society finally had their September meeting and the Hound of the Baskervilles casting draft to pitch the best Hound ever took place. And the Bull Pups & Co. run through one of the speediest Sherlock & Co. episodes ever -- who knew a resident patient could move so fast?

A forgetful host actually remembers to do a podcast at the last minute after forgetting the meeting of the John H. Watson Society. A special guest who wants to not be know for this episode joins the bull pups to discuss part one of Sherlock & Co.'s "Resident Patient." And Watson's literary agent . . . well, he gets his ten percent.

The Bull Pups review the final part of Sherlock & Co's adaptation (?) of "The Red Circle." Not much else going on this episode!

Can you retell one of Dr. Watson famous tales in thirty seconds? Can a member of the John H. Watson Society do it AND include details deemed relevant by a certain podcast host? This episode, we find out. Also, our review of part 3 of Sherlock & Co.'s adaptation of "The Red Circle."

This week we discover who might have been John Watson fiercest Canonical enemy, and also address his ongoing microphone issues on his gangster podcast. Beyond that, what might Moriartian forces have done to discredit Watson in 1922? Not going to tell you here, that's for sure!

If you were hoping for some John H. Watson Society audio already, you might have to wait another week. Somehow the Bull Pups & Co. manage to make talking about a very short episode of Sherlock & Co. run twice as long as the thing they're talking about.
