You've just been murdered. Which TV super sleuth would you want to find your killer?

[LostInAnomie]

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Dale Cooper.

:thumbsup:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. Have you seen the new Eraserhead DVD?

I just got it. It looks way better than the UK tape.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. You mean the one that came out a few years ago?

It's awesome, I picked it up when it came out.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Yep.

So not so "new," I guess. :P

First time I've seen a DVD without chapter breaks, though, but I think Lynch does that with all his movies.

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Most of his movies, yeah. (Unless the distributor suggests otherwise.)

He decided to put them on the Inland Empire dvd though, so people, if they have to stop, can pick up where they left off more easily. But he doesn't like them because of course he thinks a film should be watched all the way through from the start, haha.

[RadiationTherapy]

19. How's Annie? How's Annie? How's Annie?

How's Annie?
How's Annie?
How's Annie?
How's Annie?
How's Annie?

I just rewatched the whole series; what a fucking derailment. Amazing what can happen sometimes when you refuse to jump ship on a piece of art that has gotten out of control.

[XemaSab]

23. I think I'm going to adopt a purist approach and only watch to the death of Maddie

Originally, Cooper and Audrey were going to get together, and I think that would have been a better direction for the series.

[RadiationTherapy]

40. Yes. As soon as the name 'Windom Earle' comes up, shut it off.

Forever.

The final Black Lodge scene has some SUPER intense scary moments though.

[XemaSab]

22. .

:thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

28. I thought you'd approve.

:D

[XemaSab]

31. BTW, since nobody responded to my "Jerry Horne is Right" thread

A baguette, brie, and butter beats the tar out of a baguette and brie alone.

Lately I've had the strange fantasy of moving to Nevada to open a brothel. What do you think? :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

33. I didn't even see that thread.

But I can see how adding butter would be better.

And I say go for it. Just avoid Quebecois coke dealers.

[XemaSab]

52. You want to know? You REALLY want to know?

Most brothels have a really shitty decorating style.

I mean, if you're going to have a brothel, it should LOOK like a brothel, ya know? :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

63. I did not know that, but I agree wholeheartedly.

[Fire Walk With Me]

68. My first thought as well.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. Monk, because we're somewhat similar.

Great question, by the way. :thumbsup:

[datasuspect]

3. mannix

[flvegan]

5. Mannix.

[PassingFair]

6. DCI Jane Tennison.

[LeftyMom]

8. Mulder and Scully.

Because that way they can find out the dead body's really my clone and rescue the real me from some basement.

[TZ]

11. Gil Grissom!

I want the science geek to use DNA technology to solve it!

[BeachBaby]

12. Agent Cooper from "Twin Peaks"

He likes his bacon the same way I do. :)

[XemaSab]

24. Extra crispy.

:D

[Reader Rabbit]

13. Jane Tennyson of Prime Suspect fame.

But she'd have to get a green card, first. Unless, of course, I got snuffed across the pond.

[u4ic]

35. Me, too

I don't want the RCMP fucking up my case. :P

[ZombieNixon]

14. I don't care. I'd be dead!

Ask my family.

[LostInAnomie]

15. I just did.

They said they wouldn't care either. Sorry.

[ZombieNixon]

21. Eh, well, that solves that one.

[npk]

Matlock

MATLOCK, MAAAAAAAAAAAATLOCK.

[JVS]

16. MAAAAAAAAAATLOCK

[Faygo Kid]

17. Bernard P. Fife

Andy would find out, and credit Barney. I would like that.

[Guava Jelly]

18. Columbo.

Love me some Columbo!

[TommyO]

20. Jordan Cavanaugh from Crossing Jordan

[Ava]

25. Nancy Grace

:rofl:

[npk]

29. She would prolonge the investigation

So she could get more face time.

[Wapsie B]

26. Other..........Frank Pembleton

I wanna see Frank make the suspect piss their pants in the box when giving it up. Him or Mike Logan or Bobbie Goren.

[Reader Rabbit]

37. PemBERton!

And then he could tell the perp, "Crime makes you stupid!"

[DS1]

27. Vic Mackey

Because there would be some severe ass-kicking in the process

[realisticphish]

30. The little gray cells

Poirot, of course.

He had some tv movies, so he counts ;)

[JTG of the PRB]

32. Batman.

He'd scare the hell out of my killers before he turned them over to the police, plus it would sort of be like I was being avenged by Batman. It's win-win.

[Orsino]

78. Batman would find the killer faster (30 minutes rather than an hour or two)...

...but the killer would suffer more under Columbo's ministrations. I'm surprised that more murderers didn't off themselves after a few days of "just one more question."

[NJmaverick]

34. I voted Monk, but I would rather have the Bones team or the NCIS team

solving my murder

[Pierre.Suave]

36. Other

It is impossible to murder me.

[ikojo]

38. The team from Law and Order SVU which includes

Munch (Richard Belzer)

[Tikki]

39. Torchwood.....

Our new favorite television show.



The Tikki

[YellowRubberDuckie]

44. I was thinking Torchwood too!

I love that show!

[philosophie_en_rose]

74. Wouldn't you want your murder actually solved?

:rofl:

[Tikki]

94. I can't imagine why anyone but....

grotesque looking , time shifting aliens with British accents would want to kill me, anyway.


Tikki

[Frank Cannon]

41. Frank Cannon, of course n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

62. IAWTP

[Book Lover]

42. I know he's not originally from TV, but...

I do believe this gentleman would be the most efficacious in apprehending the culprit.

[jobycom]

46. I'm still trying to decide

whether you tried to post a pic, or whether that is supposed to tell me something! :rofl:

[Book Lover]

50. cant you see the image?

ruh-roh! I can see it....

[jobycom]

56. No

All I see is one of those "Someone is stealing our bandwidth" messages. They called you a schmuck! I wouldn't take that, if I were you. :)

[Book Lover]

57. And don't think I will, friend

I shall write a strongly worded email momentarily!

*This* should work :-)

[jobycom]

58. There ya go. That works. Who is it?

I recognize the actor, but all I can think of is "A Life Less Ordinary," and that was such a small role I can't think of the character's name to look him up.

[Book Lover]

59. Nero Wolfe

If I may plagiarize the wiki summary:

Nero Wolfe is a fictional detective, created by the American mystery writer Rex Stout, who made his debut in 1934. Wolfe's confidential assistant Archie Goodwin recorded the cases of the detective genius in 33 novels and 39 short stories from the 1930s to the 1970s, with most of them set in New York City. The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated Best Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon 2000, the world's largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was nominated Best Mystery Writer of the Century.

The picture of Maury Chaykin above is from the most recent tv (made for A&E when it was still A&E and not Crap & Trash) iteration.

[Seeking Serenity]

43. Barnaby Jones

'Cause he looks so much like Uncle Jed, it's uncanny.

[jobycom]

45. Calleigh Duquesne

Let's face it, it's the only chance I'll ever have with her.

[quiet.american]

47. James Scott Rockford. (Provided there's someone to pay his "$200 a day + expenses". :) nt

[Fenris]

48. Detective Mike Stone and Inspector Steve Keller of the SFPD

[TN al]

49. Frank Drebin

[skooooo]

51. Kolchak, the Night Stalker!

[tigereye]

89. we were watching some extras from the X-Files and it was cool when

Chris Carter said that watching the Night Stalker had inspired him to create the show.


I used to love the Night Stalker- those were very creepy! I'd love to see them again - are they on somewhere?

[mth44sc]

53. Rockford

I'm dead - what do I care. But at least the rest of ya would have some fun...

[stuntcat]

54. I had a crush on Perry Mason

when I was like 8 :blush: when my dad used to watch it.

[OmahaBlueDog]

55. Frank Pembleton from Homicide: Life on the Street

[Starbucks Anarchist]

60. Good choice.

[OneMoreDemocrat]

61. Quincy.....

only the best.

[hyphenate]

64. Jessica, no doubt

She's pushy, unrelenting in her perserverance to see an investigation clear to the end, and smarter than 67% of the other detectives out there. She's a wonderful role model for women, and she can and will make you feel right at home with her.

She diesn't take guff from anyone, and she will never be conned by anyone from Nigeria.

Now, if she were not available to help break the case wide open, my second choice would have to be detective Steve Sloan, and his doctor father, Mark Sloan. The combination of those two, with fellow doctors Charlie Schlatter and Victoria Rowell cinch the case. :)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

65. I doubt I would be in much of a position to care if I'd just been murdered

And Matlock probably wouldn't become involved unless he was representing a person who had been wrongly accused of my murder

Tossup between Columbo, Matlock and Jessica Fletcher

[TrogL]

66. Nero Wolfe

[keroro gunsou]

67. Briscoe AND Logan...

with McCoy as the prosecuting DA...

"oh, so harrigan killed him because he was a mick? well sir, i'm a mick, detective logan is a mick. and if you don't sit down and shut up i'm liable to lose my temper and have detective logan throw out of the room!"

god i love that character for that line alone.

[Adsos Letter]

69. Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) of CSI: Las Vegas....

but I would want Capt. Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) to do the interrogation.

[KT2000]

70. Goren and Eames

Law & Order: Criminal Intent

[Number23]

71. Velma from Scooby Doo

That heffa was RELENTLESS.....

[SacredCow]

81. Assuming that you were murdered by someone dressed in a monster disguise...

:hi:

[terrya]

72. Amos Burke

The guy rode around in a silver chauffeur driven Rolls-Royce. That's all I need to know.

[philosophie_en_rose]

73. Are you mad, in a coma, or back in time?

Gene Hunt and Sam Tyler, of course.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Hunt


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Tyler

Honorable Mention to Emerson Cod the knitting detective and Ned the pie man.

[Blue_Tires]

75. Jane Tennison or Morse

if i lived in a different time, Poirot

[jane_pippin]

76. Chuck Norris. I want to be avenged with roundhouse kicks

and plenty of them!

Though I guess it's technically Walker, Texas Ranger, not Chuck but whatever. As long as there are slow motion instant replay roundhouse kicks.

[Magrittes Pipe]

77. Tony Baretta.

Of course, he'd just have to look in the mirror... besides, he has a cool bird.

[livetohike]

79. Jim Rockford hands down!

:loveya:

[WinkyDink]

80. Love me some Lenny! He's The MAN!

[SacredCow]

82. Josie and the Pussycats...

[Iggo]

93. Long tails. And ears for hats.

I'm just sayin'...

[rug]

83. Columbo never lets go.

[Rhansen]

84. The Tick

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyaxMNcP9Os&feature=related

[raccoon]

85. Inspector Thomas Lynley. Of course, he works in the UK, so that could be a problem. nt

[Rambis]

86. Jane Tennyson or Inspector Endeavour Morse

[SOteric]

87. Scoobey Doo and 'Those Darn Kids' in the Mystery Mobile.

[tigereye]

88. hmm, either the folks from Bones, or Mulder and Scully

but Joe Leaphorn from the Tony Hillerman books (and a movie or two) would be my real favorite.

[Graybeard]

90. Wire Paladin, San Francisco...

Have gun, will travel.

[LynneSin]

91. I think ghosts were involved - can we get Scooby-Doo and the whole gang

Cartoon version please, not live action

[bikebloke]

92. John Rebus

Ken Stott's Rebus is preferable to John Hannah's Rebus - nothing against John though.

Of course, I'd have to be murdered in Edinburgh, Scotland.
