Yes, I'm really impressed too at how far Sherlock made it. Maybe some people voted for him not just because of the show, but just for the love of Sherlock Holmes in general. I'm proud of him though. :)

I could see why some would want to put limitations like that...but I like how more open it is now. And there are going to be brilliant shows like Sherlock that don't run like a normal 13 or 22 episode season. There was also Downtown Abbey, which is a miniseries that had four episodes (Sybil Crawley from that show was briefly in the competition). Both Sherlock and Downton Abbey deserve a chance at representation. :)
