Archive Decision

I've gotten a few suggestions about House MD and the TV show Psych. I'm not sure if they should go into the archive because they're inspired by Sherlock Holmes, but not him? I'm worried it might get this blog and the archive a little off track because it could lead to more and more less related media. But hey!

I'm indecisive, so, poll it is!

[221blurkerstreet]

Sup! Seein' sources that are saying "Psych" the TV show is a SH adaptation. Soooo here's some links! https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.c8a9f6f6-8548-c77a-d99c-6c3f06dfd200?autoplay=0&ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/psych-pilot/umc.cmc.3twujhcsf9fr7f49olzywbzjc?action=playSmartEpisode

I'm still not entirely sure how to go about with characters based on Holmes. Some are connected enough to him, but others are a bit tricky. Regardless, I'll be considering rewatching some of Psych and seeing what I think. (Probably will make a poll, just to be safe)
