Single episode of a "Sherlock Holmes in modern times" TV show that was never made into a series

Does anyone else remember an American TV show (or possibly a made-for-TV movie) about Sherlock Holmes being transported to modern times, that was never made into a series?

It was quite a while ago, before the Benedict Cumberbatch or Jonny Lee Miller modern day adaptations, and there was only a single episode. If I recall correctly, the premise was a Victorian Sherlock Holmes somehow transported to modern day ... New York, maybe? ... and part of the challenge / humor was him learning about modern technological advances from his (female, I think) sidekick.

I recall reading an interview with the actor portraying Holmes, where he said he thought it was intended as the pilot to a series, which he was quite excited about, but the producers denied having any such intentions, and it never did end up as a series.

Google is, predictably, useless, continually steering me to "Sherlock" and "Elementary" no matter how I ask the question.
