Vote: The Best TV Detective!

[Mentalist]

(if you're wondering, yes, I increased the maximum poll options.)


If I missed your favourite out write it in instead.

 

[Gagh]

Columbo all the fucking way.

 

[Tisiphone]

Frank Pembleton.

 

[whisky]

Columbo certainly, no Batman?

 

[Mentalist]

Columbo certainly, no Batman?

Tsk...I knew I had forgotten a few important ones but now I'm just ashamed.


Fixed

 

[Tisiphone]

Oooh! Lenny Briscoe, perhaps? (Even though I've already voted.)

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Went for Monk, but I love Creek, Quincy, Barnaby and of course Angel as well.

There are more than enough, but one more you could add just for completeness is Dr Mark Sloan (aka Dick Van Dyke) from Diagnosis Murder.

Being that I use spreadsheets all day long, I took the liberty of putting the 20 names we have so far on one, then assigning a number to them, then putting them in order how how I ranked them.

Like so

Columbo
Batman!
Thomas Magnum
Angel
Frank Drebin
Inspector Clouseau
Jane Tennison
Frank Pembleton
Bobby Simone
Dr. Quincy
Hercule Poirot
Inspector Morse
Miss Marple
Jonathan Creek
Adrian Monk
Jessica Fletcher
Stefan Derrick
Willam Edward Frost
DCI Tom Barnaby
Veronica Mars

Of course if Sipowitz was on there he would be straight after Batman

 

[The Tomtrek]

I voted for Veronica becuase I knew I'd be the only person who would!


AND SHE'S THE CUTEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM, TOO. OKAY???

 

[WillsZenith]

Er sir , it's just the boys down at the lab....


supercolumbopwnagepowers!!!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

I was going to post that the NEW OWNER should increase the amount of poll options because ten is pathetic (and I've mentioned it before to no luck) then Menty goes and does it...hmm.

Anyway, Jessica Fletcher all the way. You won't find a finer actress than Angela Lasnbury. Or a finer woman.

 

[The Tomtrek]

WHERE'S HARRIET THE SPY (the ORIGINAL)???

 

[CaptainWacky]

Where's RANI CHANDRA?

 

[I Love Cunt]

Joe Montega as David Rossi Or
Matthew Grey Gubler as Dr. Spencer Reid

Or do they not count? And what about Jordon of Crossing Jordon? She is a medical examiner so I am sure she wouldn't count either, but so is Quincy right?!

 

[Dirk Funk]

All these options, yet the clear choice is not present. Where's Dick Tracy?

 

[whisky]

Was he on tv?

 

[Dirk Funk]

Was he on tv?

Yes.

[whisky]

A little before my time

 

[Dirk Funk]

Mine too, but so are many of these others.

 

[I Love Cunt]

My apologies, I had to look up almost everyone on that list. I would have voted for Bobby Simone.
