Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

But aren’t Psych and The Mentalist knockoffs of Sherlock Holmes themselves? Psych is more obvious about it and The Mentalist kind of round robin’s all of the CBI agents as Watson, at times, although usually it’s Lisbon as a combination of Watson and Lestrade. Honestly, the argument that it’s based on/influenced by/inspired by Sherlock Holmes could be made for any detective/cop/investigative show where one of the leads is very obviously smarter than most people. Person of Interest, White Collar, Numb3rs, Due South all have the underpinnings. Shows like The Dead Zone and Medium where the leads are actual psychics which means they literally see things others can’t. Hell, Eureka kind of does it in reverse, with the everyman, Watson-ish character in the lead, using his common sense and knowledge of people to spark the aha moments for all the Sherlocks in town.

Yes. Everything you said but none of those shows stuck to the names when they were clearly off on their own little tangent.
