Edward Hardwicke was the most intelligent Watson, which is what he should be, unlike that duo from the 40s which was just a farce even though the fellow who played Sherlock was well respected.<BR/><BR/>Also, David Suchet and Hugh Fraser are the best Poirot and Capt Hastings. There can be no other Poirot after Suchet, with his avuncular approach and his perfectionism, and the blustering Hastings with his accidental intelligence.<BR/><BR/>My favorite pair:<BR/><BR/>Bertie Wooster and Jeeves!!!<BR/>Again, unsurpassed by Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry.<BR/><BR/>And also Fry and Laurie the comedy duo before they personified Jeeves and Wooster.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-1424692292647354822009-03-21T12:40:00.000-07:002009-03-21T12:40:00.000-07:00first let me say i cannot imagine you listening to...first let me say i cannot imagine you listening to howard stern! ha ha ha<BR/><BR/>next, i'd sat norton to cramden on the honeymooners<BR/><BR/>desi to lucy of course<BR/><BR/>and sarge to me!<BR/><BR/>smiles, bee<BR/>xoxoxoxoxoxxooxxoEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-12831928734709198482009-03-21T12:33:00.000-07:002009-03-21T12:33:00.000-07:00(I apologize if this is posting twice, my computer...(I apologize if this is posting twice, my computer did a funny thing, or I hit the wrong key)<BR/><BR/>I love Howard, I have been listening since the 80's in NY.
