Oh I loved Sherlock. It is actually co-written by Gatiss and Steven Moffatt (the showrunner for Doctor Who).
The short run series isnt unusual here. Luther, another premium drama was 6 episodes to start, then a second series at 4 episodes. Life on Mars was I think either 6 or 8 episodes. It's also unlikely they'd have ever gone for half hour slots. More likely would have been 1 hour slots. Comedies often come in half hour format, but drama rarely does, and almost never at primetime.
