We start season six with a gangbuster of an episode because we can't stop talking about Sherlock & Co. and its amazing Watson -- and one of the bull pups is not afraid to offend Martin Freeman fans in praising Paul Waggott's Watson! (Even though Paul doesn't get mentioned by name in this episode. We'll remedy that soon.) Our own Paul, of the Thomas Miller variety, gets into Watson's least favorite client, and do you know who Arthur Guiterman is? Well, he's a poet we'll hear from this week. S...

In the final episode of our fifth season, the John H. Watson Society does an a capella somewhat musical number, bull pup Buck ponder's Watson's favorite client, a goose poem is ready by bull pup Sherry, and Watson's Literary Agent's belief in a certain red-suited legend is considered. So give it a listen and give us your "Compliments on the season!" because that's what Watson would do this time of year, wouldn't he?

What's up with Watson and statues? Well, the stone is unpinchable for one thing, but we're going to spend a lot of time talking about pinching or pince-ing this episode. "Golden pince-ing" to be exact, as we go one and on about Watson's Sherlock & Co. take on the familiar tale. Buckle up! It's Watson time!

A bit of our usual news, bull pup Buck, and then three Watsonians go on about recent "Sherlock & Co." episodes for so long that we forget to give the Literary Agent his 10%. But in memory of Joss Ackland, I'm going to declare "DIP-lomatic immunity!" here in the notes.

In this episode, recorded from somewhere in the Detroit suburbs, bull pups Maddy and Calder attempt to do an entire episode just using an iPhone after seeing the Ken Ludwig play Moriarty at the Meadow Brook Theatre. (Someone packed every bit of equipment EXCEPT his laptop for the trip, so you'll have to wait for next week, bull pup Buck fans -- he'll be back, singing and answering then!) But for now, blame any deficiencies in this one on Moriarty, as it truly is his fault.

A smaller episode as most of the crew is trying hard to keep up with a busy July. Can you have a story discussion that focuses on Watson and not the other guy?
