Fondly remembered by Next Generation devotees as "The Sherlock Holmes episode," "Elementary, Dear Data" originally aired December 10, 1988. While awaiting their next assignment, Data, Geordi, and Dr. Pulaski head to the Holodeck to participate in a virtual reality Sherlock Holmes mystery. Insisting that Data's deductive skills are no match for a human being's, Pulaski challenges the android to match wits with archvillian Professor Moriarty (Daniel Davis). Alas, Moriarty escapes into the "real world," ostensibly for the purpose of wreaking his usual havoc, but there's a surprise in store for everyone before the final fadeout. Written by Brian Allan Lane, "Elementary, Dear Data" earned two Emmy nominations, one for Best Art Direction. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The laziest cat in America swaps places with the richest feline in England in director Tim Hill's lasagna-laden sequel to the 2004 theatrical hit Garfield. Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) is on his way to London to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend, Liz Wilson (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and his unflappable cat, Garfield, is determined to be there when Jon pops the big question. Of course, Garfield wouldn't go anywhere without his old pal Odie, and soon after arriving in the land of Big Ben, the clueless tomcat inadvertently changes places with royal look-a-like Prince. It seems that Prince's owner, Lady Eleanor, has recently passed away, leaving the care of her sprawling estate Castle Carlyle in the capable paws of her devoted kitty companion. The trouble is, Prince has decided it's due time for a vacation, and with Garfield in charge there's no telling what kind of trouble will befall Castle Carlyle. Despite having a devoted butler named Smithee (Ian Abercrombie) to cater to his every whim and a whole host of fun-loving critters with whom to pass the lazy days spent lounging in the sun, this crowned head begins to feel the sting of deceit as the envious Lord Dargis (Billy Connolly) hatches a dastardly plan to do away with the whiskered heir and claim Castle Carlyle all to himself. Meanwhile, as Garfield attempts to hold his ground against his greedy would-be nemesis, the fun-loving Prince is living it up with Jon and Odie by taking a trip to some of London's most popular pubs. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
