I found the full set (39 episodes) on 3 DVDs in a pawnshop for $1. It was worth every penny. Indeed, it might have been worth $2. :-) The actors portraying Holmes and Watson are excellent--well-defined personalities and very likable. The rest are appealingly comic. The episodes are mostly non-canon, and often silly, with many non-sequiturs and plot holes. However, since the series does not take itself seriously, these faults are forgivable. One might say that when an episode is good, it is very good, and when an episode is bad, it is so bad that, seen with the right spirit, it is also good. The fuzzy black-and-white photography, the very inexpensive sets, and the repeatedly-used stock clips (e.g. the Tower, the carriages coming and going) add to the patina of awful greatness. Really, I'm not trying to be supercilious--you will enjoy the series for its fine portrayal of Holmes & Watson, not to mention poor Inspector Lestrade. Lose no time--search the shelves of your local pawnshop today!
