How can house MD help and why is it useful?

House MD is a fictional doctor on a television show who almost always uses extremely dangerous and controversial medical techniques. He should not be looked to or learned from for actual medical advice. However, the method that House uses to diagnose the patient is known as "deduction" and is a useful skill for anyone to know. It is nearly impossible to master, however, and was first popularized by the Sherlock Holmes stories in the 19th century. House MD is, in fact, based partially on Sherlock Holmes (albeit in a medical setting) and the show includes many references to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's series.


Was Sherlock Holmes animated?

He could indeed be expressive. Remember him grinning more and more as that guy called him a busy-body among other things? However, if you mean "made into a cartoon", then, certainly. Check out Sherlock Holmes cartoons, Sherlock Hound (anime), Sherlock in the 22nd century and others. There are also animated characters very much like him. Jimmy Kudo/Conan Edogawa, L of Death Note and The Great Mouse Detective (Disney) based on the children's book series Basil of Baker Street come to mind.


Is there still a Sherlock Holmes show?

The Sherlock Holmes TV Show which is considered the best finished years ago after the actor who portrayed Holmes, Jeremy Brett passed away. There is at least 1 Sherlock Holmes TV show on at the moment. It's called Sherlock. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson. It is a modern adaptation, set in 21st century London. Series 2 will be coming to BBC1 soon. I recommend it. It's very good, some people even think it may be better than the Jeremy Brett version. Also an American TV broadcaster called CBS are planning on making a modern Sherlock Holmes. Obviously they didn't copy the idea at ALL.


What colour were Sherlock Holmes' eyes according to Conan Doyle?

Sherlock Holmes' hair is raven black. This is its color in most physical appearances throughout the years, including all drawings (the traditional sketches being by Sidney Paget) and television shows such as Granada's version of the stories (starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes and David Burke/Edward Hardwicke as Watson). Only in the animated series called Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century was it a different color; that was blonde.


Why is Dr John Watson called Boswell in the Sherlock Holmes stories?
