Is anyone else, though, annoyed at what the Brits call a series? To my mind, a few episodes a year constitutes a mini-series, not episodic television. I caught the new Sherlock after the last Downton Abbey, really enjoyed it and looked forward to the "season" only to discover it was 3 episodes long. What the heck is it with the Brits? Are they just parsimonious, or what?!

The second season of “Sherlock” is done. Now we just have to wait to take our turn watching it.
You might like “Doc Martin.” The first few seasons are on Hulu, and the last on YouTube. “Wisdom” is also good, staring Steven Fry.

They weren’t sure there was even going to be a second season until they saw how well the first season was reciebed. The second season has many more eposobes to go. the dirst episode was 2 hrs long, the 2nd episode as well as the 3rd 4th and 5thb episoes are an hout long, and then, the fibal two episodes are each 2 hrs long. So you see, there are 7 episodes to the second season, 3 of which are 2 hrs long.
