More, more! **Best of PBS: More shows you enjoyed on public television** 1. _Sherlock Holmes_ Jeremy Brett remains, for me, the best Holmes ever. His second Dr. Watson, Edward Hardwicke, was also terrific. ---

**Best of PBS: More shows you enjoyed on public television** 1. _Sherlock Holmes_ 2. _The Electric Company_ It was hip, it was funny, it taught reading and grammar, and I was in the right age range for it. Also, it started my lifelong crush on Rita Moreno. ---

**Best of PBS: More shows you enjoyed on public television** 1. _Sherlock Holmes_ 2. _The Electric Company_ 3. _Between the Lions_ My favorite parts where when married lion couple Theo and Cleo cooked together (though they didn’t have the patience to actually heat up the meat) and flirted with each other shamelessly, and of course there were the famous adventures of CLIFF HANGER, HANGING FROM A CLIFF! and Chicken Jane. ---
