I wish it had lasted longer.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-6603697278741377782016-02-11T12:41:13.928-08:002016-02-11T12:41:13.928-08:00I tried a couple of episodes and you are right, th...I tried a couple of episodes and you are right, they are fun. Very different from Conrad/Horsley, but I bet more true to the books. Very enjoyable!

I remember the television series with Conrad and Horsley, but it wasn´t really a favourite. We liked Conrad better as "Cannon". I have heard that Nero Wolfe has been filmed many more times, and probably better too!
