In addition to the Irene Adler thing, I really hate how they turned Sherlock into another House-type character who is allowed to get away with being an asshole because he's just so damn smart. I'm so sick of that type. There's some room for argument but I don't see the original Holmes that way.

The big difference is that the original Holmes doesn't think he can get away with being an asshole because he's smart -- when he is an asshole, he usually either doesn't realize he's being an asshole or he's just responding to assholishness (especially upper-class assholishness) on the other side. And most of the rest of the time, he makes an effort to stop himself from being an asshole (or just plain doesn't have any asshole impulses) because he knows that alienating people won't help him. Holmes' assholery is much less constant than Sherlock's. It comes in sudden bursts and in response to stimuli.

He does have SOME of that attitude, especially with Scotland Yard, in the original stories, but that's the original stories. Back then, being better than the police wasn't the same kind of trope it has become nowadays, and so it wasn't nearly as tired-out and overdone then as it is now.
