Ronald Howard, The Original Series

I won't rate each one individually because to me they are all good with the exception of a very few, like 1 or 2

The Red Headed League

Follows the original very close, just happens to be one I disliked

​

Mother Hubbard

Just goes to show you can trust no one

​

Harry Crocker

Always fun

​

Blind Man's Bluff

The plot thickened towards the end, I enjoyed it

​

Winthrop Legend

Haunted mansion how can you not love that

​

Shy Ballerina

A twist I should have seen coming

​

The Case Of The Texas Cowgirl

I hated this one from beginning to end, I hated it.

 

Pennsylvania Gun

Plenty of nice French scenery and the story was again fun

​

Case Of Lady Beryl

Good one unto itself. Didn't see the ending the way I thought it would play out

​

Cunningham Heritage

If only these had followed the stories they would have been so much better. There is no saying they aren't fun because they are, just not the originals. Ronald Howard could have been an excellent Holmes

​

The Shoeless Engineer

Fun.  More suspense than most

​

Split Ticket

This one was just fun

​

The Belligerent Ghost

I was convinced till the end it was someone else who tweeked his nose

​

The French Interpreter

A decent enough "interpretation" of The Greek Interpreter

​

Night Train Riddle

Fun, but I have always had problems with the circus

​

Violent Suitor

A little lacklustre compared with some of the other stories

​

Baker Street Nursemaids

I liked this one...............plot and funny

​

Impromptu Performance

For someone who has a taste for theatre this was fun

​

Baker Street Bachelors

Holmes in prison, now that was fun

​

Royal Murder

I would have loved this one if only I could have figured out what countries were involved

​

Haunted Gainsborough

Ghosts and legends, how can that not be fun

​

Neurotic Detective

Can't get behind this one, Watson would never distrust Holmes that much, nor would Lestrade

​

The Unlucky Gambler

That one had me, never saw the ending

​

The Singing Violin

Beautiful playing in the beginning and a decent plot

​

Greystone Inscription

Decent enough rendition of The Musgrave Ritual

​

The Laughing Mummy

I recall a book I read that had an Egyptian theme but I didn't care much for it but this is fun

​

The Thistle Killer

Very light take on The Ripper

​

The Jolly Hangman

Justice served well

​

Impostor Mystery

Oh, if only this one had been in color

​

Eiffel Tower

What happened in the end?  A cliffhanger

​

Exhumed Client

Good take on The Devils Foot

​

The Diamond Tooth

Sailors are always fun

​

Tyrants Daughter

This is a good plot

​

Vanished Detective

Never saw such a tidy curio shop

​

Careless Suffragette

Maybe a little too much detail

​

Reluctant Carpenter

Had me till the end

​

Deadly Prophecy

Don't think Holmes would get involved in something like that

​

Christmas Pudding

A great one to add to your Christmas collection

​

Perfect Husband

Michael Gough is delicious as a bad guy

​
