Houdini & Doyle

[KyleEl]

The Female Houdini did one of his most famous escapes on "To Tell the Truth".

I also got to see the pilot online. It was so dark that at first the black nun looked like Sia.

I was pleased to finally see Houdini on stage doing one of his routines. He had people in the audience concerned, just as the woman Tuesday had some of the celebrity panelists concerned. And they could see her!

I'm not sure I would have liked the show as much based on the pilot, but I would have understood more.

Forgot this. Someone commented a 4-year-old could solve mysteries better than Sherlock. Not Jonny Lee Miller's version, that's for sure.

I wanted to like this show, but it's not very good, I'm afraid. I thinks it's already off the air.

Houdini & Doyle cancelled

Unable to pull a second season out of its hat, the Houdini and Doyle TV show has been cancelled after its first and only season on FOX. The mystery drama series stars Michael Weston as Harry Houdini, Stephen Mangan as Arthur Conan Doyle, and Rebecca Liddiard as Constable Adelaide Stratton. The cast also includes Tim McInnerny, Adam Nagaitis, and Diana Quick. FOX confirmed the Houdini & Doyle cancellation to Deadline, which cites poor ratings as the reason.

I read somewhere this was intended to be a limited series anyway, however:

Houdini was mentioned on "Elementary" a couple of weeks ago.
