With all of this talk of Elementary/Sherlock lately, I've stumbled on something odd. You know that game, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, where any actor living or dead can be connected to Kevin Bacon? Well, I've started to realize that you can connect all the Sherlock adaptations together.

Like you take Moffat's Sherlock, you can tie that to Elementary because Cumberbatch and Lee Miller were both in the same stage play, Frankenstein. Or you can go Martin Freeman was in Hot Fuzz with Simon Pegg who was Run, Fat boy, Run which starred Hank Azaria who is in The Simpsons which had Lucy Liu as a guest voice.

Then you can connect Guy Ritchie's Sherlock by saying Jude Law starred in it and he was in the BBC TV movie, Love, Honor and Obey with Jonny Lee Miller.

You can even go with Star Trek: The Next Generation's version of Data and Geordie playing Holmes and Watson by saying that Brent Spiner played Holmes and he was in Independence Day with Jeff Goldblum who guest starred on Friends which starred Matt Leblanc who was in the series, Joey with Lucy Liu.

You want The Great Mouse Detective? Besides having Basil Rathbone as a voice for Sherlock Holmes. You have Barrie Ingham, he voiced Basil, who was also guest starred on Star Trek: The Next Generation. And we've already made that link through that show.

Sherlock Hound? Well, some of those episodes were directed by none other than Hayao Miyazaki. Hayao Miyazaki directed Kiki's Delivery Service. One of the English dub voice actors for that movie was Kirstin Dunst, who was in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People with Simon Pegg, who as we've mentioned before was in Hot Fuzz with Martin Freeman.

I know there are a ton more adaptations but I think there is a connection to all of them. Can anyone else come up with other connections?

Oh my god, I'm too tired to legitimately play this game, but I just want you to know that I love you for this.

Of course, you can basically connect anything to anything, given sufficient parameters. I'm obviously not going to say who I am, but I've worked on a few films (in a very boring capacity) and I can connect myself to Bumblebee Cuddleypoo in... 4 steps.

I do this game with British tv all the time, or even connecting that to American tv and film. I even once made a chart of 60+ actors (and like 5 writers because I couldn't resist adding Tarantino and Stoppard and a few others) linked by like 35 projects by shared cast members. When you look at this big map you see weird connections like Karl Urban has worked with two actors who are recurring characters on Fringe (John Noble in LOTR and Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek 2009).

How about the Muppet Sherlock Holmes? He was on Sesame Street with Kermit the Frog, who was in The Muppets Take Manhattan in which Gates McFadden had a small role and she was on Star Trek: The Next Generation!

Does Psych count as a Sherlock Holmes adaptation?

If so, Dule Hill stars in Psych. He also starred in The West Wing. Lisa Edelstein had a recurring role in The West Wing, and also had a starring role in House (oh look, another Sherlock Holmes pastiche), alongside Hugh Laurie, who was in A Bit Of Fry And Laurie with Stephen Fry, who played Mycroft in A Game of Shadows.

Also, I did not know that there was a Muppet Sherlock Holmes, but as there apparently is...the Muppets were also in The Muppets Take Manhattan, in which the cast of Scrubs had a small cameo. Sarah Chalke starred in Scrubs, and had a guest role in How I Met Your Mother. HIMYM starred Alyson Hannigan, who also starred in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, alongside Anthony Stewart Head, who had a guest role in Doctor Who. Stephen Moffat is one of the producers of Doctor Who, and also is one of the creators and writers of Sherlock.
