Quincy is a detective, right?

Medical examiner. Bit of a stretch to get to detective. (I never watched much Quincy, so can't comment on if he really acted like a detective.)

[Skipbidder]

Oh, and one more thing, the answer is Columbo.

The fact that Lenny Brisco from Law and Order isn't up there sickens me (even though he's dead, he should get a unanimous posthumous victory).

[PoBoy321]

How could Lenny Brisco not qualify? He's a detective on a TV show, not to mention the funniest, most entertaining one.

I dont think he belonged there.

huh? He's possibly one of the most famous TV police investigators in history.


Columbo is king in my book though.
I'll toss in Briscoe, Mike Logan and even Ray Curtis.
My GF has big crushes on the latter two.


Another 'other' that very few probably remember are Tenspeed and Brownshoe....a short-lived series on ABC (I think) somewhere around 1980 starring Ben Vareen and Jeff Goldblum.
When I was 9 years old this was one of my favorite shows.

bookman

haha, Ya bookmans a good choice even with only 1 appereance under his belt. I have to go for sippowitz though and how he wasn't on the list is beyond me. He is the best detective EVER in the history of all cop shows plain and simple dickwad

[The Stranger]

i know he was a sargeant, but I liked Hunter.
