Who is the best television cop/detective of all time?
 

I'd probably go with Odafin Tutuola. Dude's great.

Adam West Batman

Elijah Kane

Also a good answer.

Magnum

Carl Winslow

Monk and Shawn/Gus.

He's not a detective. He's a cop.

Veronica Mars

Any answer other than Adrian Monk is wrong.

Nash Bridges was always right. That dude knew everything.

Jerry Orbach as Lenny Briscoe

Robin was always good at solving the Riddler's riddles.

Columbo saw more with one fake eye than most people did with two real ones.

The kids from Ghostwriter

Dutch from The shield

The answer is clearly Elliot Stabler.

Monk.

:shifty:

Fuck yes!

Elliot Stabler easily. This should be a, "Who is the second best cop/detective" thread.

Both are consultants.

This is the REAL correct answer.

(strictly Savalas Kojak though for me, not shitty Ving Rhames of the attempted remake).

So, now you're opening this up to lawyers?

By the way, I still agree with Shisen about Columbo, but think that honorable mention should go to:

disgraceful

LOL, NerF repping me about which Kojak I liked better. It has nothing to do with race, everybody. I sincerely believe Savalas played a superior Kojak to Ving Rhames. The whole re-make only lasted, what 2 or 3 seasons I think? No offense to VR, he's had a lot of great other roles, but being Kojak wasn’t one of his better ones 3.5/10.
