October 19, 2026 -- Watson, Utah Highways, and the Mysterious Scarlet
What happens when Americans review a British podcast about two Brits and a Spaniard in a part of America we actually know nothing about? Our review of the second part of "A Study in Scarlet" as told by Sherlock & Co.
-
October 18, 2026 -- "911, What Is Your Watson Emergency?"
Sherlock & Co. returns to A Study in Scarlet after three years, and we're here for it!
-
October 5, 2026 -- Why Was The Crooked Man Crooked, John?
Our review of Sherlock & Co.'s final part of "Crooked Man" finds the bull pups left with questions. And also thoughts about the coming novel adaptation!
-
September 27, 2026 -- One for the Diehards
Our weekly review of Sherlock & Co. is a bit sleepy this week, not due to the first part of "The Crooked Man" being bad, mind you, but due to some low energy podcasters! Hopefully our other listener besides your lovely self won't give up on us this week.
-
September 21, 2026 -- John in a Dumpster with Less Mycroft
Bruce Partington Plans on Sherlock & Co. comes to a close, and the Bull Pups are here to give one last review, as well as discuss the Patreon-only "Dead Man's Hand"
-
September 14, 2026 -- It's the Mycroft Show!
Watson takes a back seat this week as Sherlock & Co. went full Mycroft and we do love Sherlock's older brother -- especially their take on him!
-
September 7, 2026 -- A Watson Podcast Canon Countdown
Reviewing Sherlock & Co's second part of Bruce Partington Plans, we wander into wondering about how many adaptations of the original Sherlock Holmes sixty stories are left. And it's not Mycroft's fault!
-
August 31, 2026 -- Mycroft Leaves Us Somewhat Speechless
Johanna Draper Carlson joins the bull pup regulars to get into Mycroft Holmes's latest appearance and we liked the episode so much that there was even less to talk about in all the enjoyment.
-
August 24, 2026 -- Reflecting Upon Copper Beeches Old And New
This week, we have special guests Greg Sullivan and Naching Kassa joining us to discuss the original story of "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" before we get into the final chapter of the Sherlock & Co. adaptation of same.
-
August 16, 2026 -- The Copper Beeches Blues
Content Warning: Someone is not having fun at the midpoint listening to Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "Copper Beeches." It might even be multiple someones. Positivity-requiring listeners are cautioned to listen to this one with care.
-
August 10, 2026 -- Another Violet with Issues for Holmes and Watson
Our review of the first episode of Sherlock & Co.'s "Copper Beeches" adaptation brings questions: Do we love this story too much to be fair?
-
August 3, 2026 -- Watson Gets Away Again!
A final review of Sherlock & Co's three part adaptation of the Boscombe Valley Mystery sees Watson escaping murder charges without much concern or discussion on this podcast. I mean, he was in jail for murder, which is something you'd think we'd take seriously, but, no, he's Watson, and even his...
-
July 27, 2026 -- Watson in the Heartland and in Boscombe Valley
Two of the three regulars made it home from the Holmes in the Heartland weekend in St. Louis and are here to talk about that and part two of Sherlock & Co.'s "Boscombe Valley" adaptation. (But we're tired so don't expect too much!)
-
July 20, 2026 -- Watson Goes To Health Camp
Boscombe Valley is not the place we remember from Conan Doyle in the episode Sherlock & Co had for us, so let's discuss!

July 13, 2026 -- Enola Gets Hers Before Watson
We've got Enola Holmes 3 to talk about and she finally has an adventure with Watson in it! After that, back to Sherlock & Co.'s final part of "The Engineer's Thumb," a triumph for some, a tragedy for others!
-
July 6, 2026 -- Watson and . . . Vicki?
It's our review of the second episode of Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "The Engineer's Thumb." Remember how Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about Watson taking Victor Hatherly out for dinner and saying how beautiful he was? No? Well, things are a little different in Sherlock & Co. world!
-
June 29, 2026 -- There's a Clown in Enginner's Thumb
Just the review of Sherlock & Co.'s first part of Engineer's Thumb this week.
-
June 22, 2026 -- One More Mojito with Mycroft!
This may be a Watson podcast, but oh, that Mycroft. It's our last dance with the Sherlock & Co. incarnation of the older brother for a while, so let's get into it!
-
June 15, 2026 -- A Very Engaging Watsonian Weekly
Reviewing the latest Sherlock & Co., casting an adaptation of "Speckled Band," seeing what Watson's Literary Agent was doing in 1896, and trying to drum up engagement, it's the Watsonian Weekly for July 15, 2026.
-
June 8, 2026 -- Mr. Melas Has No Fans
A little more bite-sized episode this time as we suffer from Mycroft Holmes deprivation after last week's Sherlock & Co. Also, why was Sherlock Holmes balling up those papers on the train to Boscombe Valley to protect Watson? You don't have to listen long to find out!
-
June 1, 2026 -- MYCROFT, MYCROFT, MYCROFT!!
Since Sherlock & Co. introduced its Mycroft Holmes this week, we're all about that, and joined by Johanna Draper Carlson to discuss her favorite Sherlockian character. And if you hold on for all of that, get ready to turn off the podcast, as Watson's Literary Agent gets a bit naughty . . . or…

Our host gets a little help from a friend to discuss David Burke's legacy and a fully stocked bull pup squad gets into the return of not-Sherlock in the final part of Sherlock & Co's adaptation of "The Empty House."
-
May 11, 2026 -- Watson at Garbage Hospital
CBS's Watson draws to a close and we have opinions on that. And why we're reviewing Sherlock & Co episodes that don't have Watson in them, I do not know!
-
May 4, 2026 -- Happy Reichenbach Monday!
This year Reichenbach day falls on Monday, just like it did in 1891 and boy is Watson just taking it hard. Either he's in a coma or needing a brain tumor removed, it's all pillow forts and pie to talk about for the bull pups. There will never be a more Watson week of Watsons! Unless it's next week!
-
April 27, 2026 -- Watson Really Needs A Doctor
Our spoiler-filled reviews of CBS Watson's latest dying dictator episode and podcast Sherlock & Co.'s final part of "The Three Garridebs" inspires more chat than usual, even after some big cuts! (Mostly regarding Doctor Who.) When Watson's in trouble, we just talk like conversation will do for…
more -
April 20, 2026 -- Things Aren't Looking Good For Watson!
With Sherlock & Co. and CBS's Watson both placing Watson in dire peril with varying degrees of creative ability, we get right to reviewing the current stuff. So let's get to it!
-
221B Con 2026 Special Mess Of An Episode
In a test to see if the Watsonian Weekly can record guerilla style like John H. Watson does on Sherlock & Co., we attempt to cover this year's 221B Con in Atlanta, Georgia and manage to give you practically no information. John Watson is a genius!
-
April 9, 2026 -- One Holmes Makes Pancakes, Another Holmes Makes Watson Crazy
We're right to our reviews of Sherlock & Co. and CBS's Watson this week, because Watson is in trouble in two shows and we have places to be!
-
April 6, 2026 -- Watson In Trouble In Multiple Formats
The bull pups are full of thoughts this week as we find Watson in dire straits in both podcast land and TV land! He may have killed Moriarty in CBS Watson, but he seems to have brought another person back from the dead with just the power of his mind. And Sherlock & Co. Watson could be in for a...
-
March 30, 2026 -- Problems All Over The Watsonverse!
It's almost like the bull pups sensed the upcoming tremors in the Watson Force, even though they recorded before the CBS Watson cancellation news. T'was a week when both Sherlock & Co. and CBS Watson had a few bones. that needed picking! And apologies for the audio quality of this episode…
more -
March 23, 2026 -- Watson versus Ghost Baby
Things eventually get weird this week as the bull pup who was apparently our grounding influence didn't make it.

Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers as we discuss the latest offerings from Sherlock & Co., Young Sherlock, and Watson for a very long session with the bull pups.
-
March 9, 2026 -- Who's done more crime, Watson or Shinwell?
There's a lot of crime to cover this week, between the mid-season opener of CBS's Watson and the last part of Sherlock & Co.'s adaptation of "Stockbroker's Clerk." How are these people not in jail? But that's a question that gets asked a lot in other venues these days, so maybe we'll forgive…
more -
March 2, 2026 -- Sometimes Watson Has It Together
A new play, more CBS Watson on the horizon, and this is not your grandfather's "Stockbroker's Clerk" on Sherlock & Co. And why did that engineer's thumb have to be a story? All this, this week on the Weekly!
-
February 23, 2026 -- The Name of Watson's Nemesis Is Spoken
It takes very little to get us excited about a single detail on Sherlock & Co.'s latest episode, one name we haven't heard mentioned in all this time, and in "The Stockbroker's Clerk," one of the most lacklustre adventures of Sherlock Holmes? Inconcievable!
-
February 16, 2026 -- Stuck in a Bookshop, But We Can't See The Books
Our review of the second half of the Sherlock & Co. "Beryl Coronet" might have some issues about being stuck in a bookshop, like Watson himself. But there might be dinosaurs by the end of the podcast, if you stick around!
-
February 9, 2026 -- Watson and his Literary Agent Come First
What? The Literary Agent's Ten Percent is at the start this time? Get ready to suffer through that voice before we get to Sherlock & Co.'s Beryl Coronet surprises.
-
February 2, 2026 -- Dual Musgrave Watson's
In celebration of a Watson-filled "Musgrave Ritual" on Sherlock & Co., we're also doing a retro-review of the Granada "Musgrave Ritual," since it had Watson joining what was originally a Sherlock-only tale as well. Enjoy all the Musgrave!
-
January 26, 2026 -- It's a cold day in Watson . . .
Mainly, our review of the third part of Sherlock & Co.'s "Musgrave Ritual," and probably way too much discussion of the thickness of ice . . . especially for winter.
-
January 19, 2026 -- Wins, Loss, and Cold Watson
A bit of news, both good and bad, then on to a frigid time at Hurlstone for Watson and a trip to Switzerland for his literary agent.
-
January 12, 2026 -- Moustaches, Madeline, Musgraves, and Moriarty's Musical Mastery
We cover a whole lot of "M"s this episode as the Montague Street Incorrigibles gather some Watsonians to study moustaches, bull pup Maddy gets a meritous medal (of sorts -- sure, it's a coin, but it's kinda like a medal), we talk about Musgraves, and wind up with a Moriarty mention on a...
-
January 5, 2026 -- Places Watson Usually Isn't
Get ready for the shortest episode of the Watsonian Weekly in years, harkening back to those days when we talked about Clark Russell novels chapter by chapter . . . but no Clark Russell this time, just a full five or six minutes of nonsense!
-
January 1, 2026 -- Watson's Most Christmasy Tale Ever Finishes
We're early this week to finish out reviewing the holiday version of "The Man With The Twisted Lip" by Sherlock & Co., which had to have been the most Christmas-based Sherlock Holmes drama in history. Will it be a new Christmas tradition? Could be!

December 29, 2025 -- Adapting Our Way Out Of 2025

Can "The Man With The Twisted Lip" be done as a Christmas story? We're finding out thanks to Sherlock & Co. And who wrote the worst Christmas story ever, teaching kids about explosives, and what does he have to do with Watson? Compliments of the season, Watsoniacs!
-
December 14, 2025 -- John Watson, Patriot on a Drainpipe
The one thing about Sherlock & Co. -- having killing off Watson's one potential wife, it gets to focus on other aspects of Watson besides his relationships. And this week we got his thoughts on his mother country.
-
December 8, 2025 -- Musically Redacted Watson
The Bull Pups are reviewing part one of Second Stain on Sherlock & Co., Watson and his Literary Agent probably don't meet, and colorful phrases from one of Watson's earlier cases can serve as fandom titles.
-
December 1, 2025 -- Houndsgiving and Being Stupid Is Okay!
Sherlock & Co. brings their Hound of the Baskerville in for a landing and we're here for it! Also, is Watson being extremely stupid actually a good thing? An extra long episode gets into all of it, with a special guest for Houndsgiving!
