I mean the short stories.

I think these may be the same thing

The Sherlock Holmes canon was a set of short stories about a man (diagnosed with Aspergers IRL) named Sherlock Holmes whom people turn to when they find odd occurrences that need investigating, from the viewpoint of his friend, set in the 19th-20th century.  Sherlock is a television series based on the canon set in the early 21st century about a sociopath (self-diagnosed) named Sherlock Holmes who shows up at crime scenes and figures stuff out.  There are some similarities (read A Study in Scarlet and watch A Study in Pink, for example), but it's not the same (see whatever the second episode of the first season was, the name of which I forget, although it did have several references to the canon).

Yeah dude
A Study In Scarlet I literally read this week
It was a joke, and "sticking to canons" in TV or whatever is a bunch of baloney
Unless it's shipping
'Cause shipping is idiotic

I do love how demeaning your post is though! You actually thought someone would need who Sherlock Holmes was explained to them.

I've read the first one, and I'm reading the second one. It's a really good series 

I liked the spotted gang one

Spotted gang?  Do you mean Speckled Band?  Or am I missing something?

@soupoftomato: I was trying to give the general gist of both canons.

Speckled band, that's right

I feel like we're talking about different things when referring to "the first one"

I saw The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes at my school with the one titled about a lady first, and it was a bunch of short stories.
But I have a Complete Sherlock Holmes on my Nook and the first is "A Study In Scarlet", which is a book.

A Study in Scarlet does go first, I think, as it's where Sherlock meets Watson.

After that is... ugh I forget it's about two Indian brothers.

Then comes The Adventures then The Memoirs. I think. That's how it was in my book.
