Also, Talking Dead Season 6 Preview Special airs at 7 p. m. today on AMC to chat up the Oct. airs at 8 p. m. today with Sherlock: The Hounds of Baskerville , starring Benedict Cumberbatch. The 90-minute episode is rated TV-14. I still remember the chills I got when I read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original when I was 12 or 13. Doyle wrote, "Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling,... Cumberbatch is my favorite Sherlock of the more than 70 actors (according to Guinness World Records ) who have portrayed the detective. And that includes Basil Rathbone's iconic portrayal in 14 films, and post- Ironman Robert Downey Jr. 's interpretation of director Guy Ritchie's Sherlock as some sort of Victorian James Bond. One of the reasons Cumberbatch is my favorite is the perfect chemistry his portrayal has with his faithful and long-suffering sidekick, Dr. John Watson, played to perfection by Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit films). In The Hounds of Baskerville, Holmes and Watson are on a cold case, investigating a murder that took place two decades earlier. Source: www.arkansasonline.com
