I remember when the Jeremy Brett series was coming out, my wife watched them religiously and loved them. But I refused to watch them because they were too modern. Now I look back on them nostalgically and watch them -- and they are quite good.

I agree! Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes, his voice, his mannerisms, everything, he was simply perfect for the part, as if Arthur Conan Doyle had Brett in mind, when he wrote S.H. But Peter Cushing is an awesome actor and played S.H. almost as perfect as Brett. Its sad, that Cushing is rarely ever mentioned, when it comes to S.H. actors.

I really don't understand why Dr Watson is portrayed as elderly and / or foolish in most Sherlock Holmes adaptions. The novels and short stories suggest that he is a good-natured, caring man who very clearly loves women and manages to find himself a young wife in one of the early episodes. His softness and sensitivity certainly blind him to people's criminal energies, and he is often distracted by outer appearances, that doesn't make him stupid. One thing the latest BBC adaptions with Benedict Cumberbatch got right was that they made Dr Watson fairly attractive. It's annoying that many other films have shown Watson as Holmes's inferior on so many levels... including manners and looks.

Typical Hollywood convention of the comic sidekick. As has been pointed out, Nigel Bruce bumbled, but bumbled charmingly and retaining Bruce's Watson for Rathbone's Holmes returned him to his proper status as partner after the trend of filming Holmes stories with Watson removed.

David Farley Oh I like some of Bruce's earliest portrayals of Watson, especially in the Twentieth Century Fox film 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' (1939) some of them could be kind of charming I'll admit, Just for me however when Universal took over the Rathbone / Bruce Holmes films and put Holmes in the WW2 era Bruce's bumbling Watson really grew forced and rather grating in his pure idiocy IMHO and for me could never rank of there with Edward Hardwick among other Watsons as far as being faithful to the Canon goes.

He's 6' 2", if that's what you mean by "big", but so thin that he doesn't look that tall until he stands next to someone else.
