Houdini and Doyle: The Series

[Skanky Vamp]

Because the masses haven't been clamoring for this..

Houdini and Doyle is the brainchild of The Librarian creator David Titcher, House creator David Shore and House writer-producer David Hoselton. Here’s how Deadline describes the new series:

In Houdini And Doyle, two of the great characters of the 20th century —Houdini, master magician, escape artist and paranormal debunker, and Doyle, creator of the world’s greatest detective and a paranormal aficionado — grudgingly join forces to investigate crimes with a supernatural slant. Although they’re both rich, famous and brilliant, they’re the original odd couple, with Houdini believing in nothing, Doyle in everything.

The 10-episode FOX series has also been picked up by ITV in the UK and by Shaw Media in Canada.

...Eh.
I've seen this idea done before in comic book form and it was excellent, (and it included H.P Lovecraft and actual supernatural monsters) but this sounds like yet another 'crime investigation' genre show with a gimmick-y twist.
Dependant on the casting I think I'll pass.

I guess its a nice twist on the genres. But there was recently a drama based on Houdini and that was freakly a bit dull. But who knows I think I would give this a shot, I just find magic itself a bit boring on screen.
