Which fictional detective from books or tv would you want on the case?

Monk.

Dr. House – I’m serious. Okay, fine..Dr. House with Sherlock Holmes. (now I’m all hot and bothered)...oh! and the guy (played by yummy Vincent D’Onofrio) from Law & Order: Criminal Intent…

I think Columbo. He was so persistant.

That’s elementary: Sherlock Holmes.

Stabler from SVU. Oh yes, Stabler from SVU.

Nancy Drew. . . I read the series as a teen and found it fascinating. . .

@Simone_De_Beauvoir House & Holmes.Sounds like a good idea for a show on home improvements.

@Likeradar Are you thinking purely of the detecting here? Or I’d have said Magnum, mmm, mmm, mm.

Inspector Jacques Clouseau

Matlock

@erichw1504 He was an ingenious officer of the lerr.

@ucme indeed and a great porno for me

Not specifically a detective, but nobody solves the case like he does – Jack Bauer.

@ucme And he likes “Amburgers”!

@Simone De Beauvoir Yes The Case of the Orgasmic Spinster.One of his more daring escapades.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities A 24 carat suggestion.

@faye yeah… um, the detectiving. :) I like him for his mind. (there’s all sorts of private dic jokes here…)

Hercule Poirot!

How could I have forgotten my Mark Harmon? Plus he’ll give me booze in his basement if I play my cards right.

The Famous Five with lashings of cream

Agent Gibbs-NCIS.

@Adagio Not forgetting the ginger beer.What ho.

Detective Conan from Case Closed

Angel from Angel. Yumm.

@Dr_Dredd GA!

Sonny Crockett.

Horatio from CSI Miami.

HAWT

Deputy Dawg…and NO ONE ELSE!

Angel.

He shows up, breaks someones neck, cries in the rain, shit gets done.

@syzygy2600 That’s the most epic thing anyone’s ever said on this site.

Jessica Fletcher for a murder case

I amend my decision: Sonny Crockett AND Jessica Fletcher.

And Sean and Gus from Psych

House, holmes, Mike Hammer, Mr. Moto, Sam Spade, and that guy in Lie to Me.

Emma Peel. I used to hope she was all over my case.

For a criminal case, Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe (not without Archie Goodwin), and Jessica Fletcher.

For a medical case, I’d have House directing the investigation, but I want Ben Casey to operate and Dr. Kildare just to stand across the room where I can see him.

I’d probably go with Baretta. When he’s not offing his current wife.

Thomas Lynley

If I had to pick just one, it would definitely be Detective Robert Goren from Law and Order: Criminal Intent.

@filmfann House,Holmes,Hammer & Spade.This home improvement theme seems to have moved on a notch.We’re in the garden now.Genius.

Follow the clues. That must be where the body is buried.

And beware of the Wolfe.
