Top TV detectives

#1 Post by Frodoleader »

Huffington Post has an article about the most "badass" TV detectives. Our man Thomas Magnum is #24.

A show that's aired eight episodes has characters coming in at #1 and #3!? No Crockett & Tubbs!? No Quincy!? Magnum at #24!? I'm sorry, I'm not liking that list so much! ;)

Having said that, I like some of the MPEG clips on the list. The one for Goren (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) is absolutely perfect!

What a joke of a list.

As you said, Crockett & Tubbs?

And what about The Equalizer Robert McCall (Edward Woodward).

Exactly! What a bizarre list.

Just saw this.

Jessica Fletcher above magnum? And Sherlock Holmes?

And who the heck is Jane Tennison?

(I've never seen the show... But I was never a huge viewer of a lot of these.. But I knew who they were!)
