Not for free, though, right? Not on Prime? It’s not like I don’t have the dvds, lol, but that requires GETTING UP. My life is so hard! 😜

I don’t have a smart tv, and I learned that the fire stick does the same thing. That inexpensive little device has literally changed my life, mainly because I never have to get up again! Every time I put down one remote and pick up another, I think to myself “I can’t believe there was a time when I had to get up off the couch, walk over to the tv, plug in things, and walk all the way back to the couch just to watch something!” I think I bought the Sherlock box set at least twice - maybe three times. And if they release it again as a special edition or something, I will gladly buy it again!

Remember when there was no remote at all and you had to change the channel by hand? Of course there were only 3 or 4 channels back then, but still! You’d sit there and watch crap instead of getting up to change the channel lol. My parents used my brother, since he’d usually sit there 2 inches from the tv with his hand on the knob anyway. He flipped the dial around so fast the knob eventually fell off and then we had to use pliers to change the channel! My parents never let him forget it. 😂

I paid $1.99 USD for A Study in Pink, even though I own the DVD’s. I feel like Sherlock calling John to come from cross London even though Mrs Hudson is right downstairs or hacking John’s laptop because his is the other room. My DVDs are boxed up and my DVD player is unplugged in the basement because I rearranged furniture/rooms 2 years ago and haven’t gotten around to resetting all my AV equipment 😂 But ASiP feels totally worth it! I’ll definitely watch it on a whim, don’t need to re-install the DVD player including finding the bag with the cables or remember how to use the other remotes! It’s a steal at twice the price vs the personal cost of getting up off the sofa once I’ve settled in! 🙃. Inertia is a powerful force!

When I was little, I was the one sitting on the floor 2 inches from the tv to change the channel when my parents told me to. And it wasn’t as simple as putting it on a specific channel. I’d have to wait, with my hand on the dial, while my father decided which channel he wanted to leave it on. Thank goodness we only had a few channels to scroll through! And if I was ever out of the room, my father would just sit in his chair and yell for me. No matter where I was - down in the basement or even outside playing - I’d come running into the living room to see what he wanted. It was usually to change the channel so that he didn’t have to get up. (Sometimes, it was to get him a beer! I loved that, though, because I got to use the bottle opener to remove the cap first, which was kind of fun.)

Sherlock is now streaming in the US on Crackle, for free. Unfortunately, it’s got ads, which is certainly annoying. They’re not skippable, either. I immediately watched The Lying Detective, my favorite episode.
My god Ben is gorgeous in that role. And the timbre of his voice (bites fist). 🔥🔥🔥
I miss Sherlock. I want more! 🥺

I'm not going to lie, when I saw that announcement, I thought it was an April Fools joke and scrolled past it 💀 Glad to know it's streaming somewhere though!

I wish there really was Sherlock news, but this will have to do!
This might have been posted before - I love Andrew Scott as nutjob Moriarty!
