The New
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was an old-time radio show which aired
in the USA from October 2, 1939 to July 7, 1947. Originally, the
show starred Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as
Dr. John H. Watson. Bromo Quinine sponsored
some of the earlier programs on the NBC Blue Network and for a
period Parker Pen was the sponsor. The show first aired on the Blue
Network but later moved to the Mutual Broadcasting System.
Basil Rathbone's
last episode as the famous Detective was "The Singular Affair of the
Baconian Cipher." He was eager to separate himself from the cast
type of Sherlock Holmes, and even though the show's sponsor Petri
Wine offered him generous pay to continue, he decided to move on.
Once he did, the sponsor did as well, and Tom Conway took the
starring role, though Nigel Bruce got top billing and was always
announced first. The new sponsor was Kreml Hair Tonic for Men, and
the new series only lasted 39 episodes. The show was later sponsored
by Clipper Craft men’s wear and broadcast from New York City.
With Rathbone and
Bruce, the show exhibited an interesting introduction. The sponsor's
spokesman would show up weekly at Dr. Watson's house (then retired
and living in California), and share a story about Holmes and his
adventures over a glass of Petri wine. This offered them the chance
to sometimes bring in other characters to contribute to the story,
and also gave Watson a chance to summarize or add additional tidbits
at the end. Another interesting thing about this radio show's
introductions was Dr. Watson's anecdotes and comments about his dogs
usually referred to as the "Puppies".
There are over
100 episodes and better then 49 hours with everyone’s favorite
detective….Sherlock Holmes.
