Who is the world's greatest detective?
On TV, that is. And not in a police procedural either, more of a murder mystery style affair. Except Magnum PI, who people wanted in the list because I don't know. YOU DECIDE.

Inspector Morse
Curmudgeonly, beer loving, opera buff who loves crosswords and catching murderers. Watch him slowly drink himself to death with a wistful glance back at women he wasn't able to love enough. Watch also the superb work of Lewis, his Geordie Sergeant, always with a wry smile or an eyeroll in the background. Stylish, absorbing stuff. Surely the best whoddunit on TV?

Columbo
Just one more question, says Columbo, freezing the blood of his suspect, who is probably Patrick MacGoohan. Dishevelled, cigar smoking and happily married, Columbo does his job and goes home. He can knock off early because he knows who did it, because he saw them do it during the opening credits. Bit of a cheat if you ask me.

Jessica Fletcher
There is no one left now in Cabot Cover. Every single citizen in this seaside village was murdered over the course of 855987 episodes. Fletcher watched it all happen, writing it all down to repackage as novels, growing fat off the proceeds of her inaction.

Veronica Mars
High school girl who will also solve your murders and make questionable choices regarding men. Smart, funny, gorgeous: these are some of the things people say about me.

Officer Benton Fraser
A Mountie in Chicago. Polite, calm, patient, brilliant and has a pet wolf. Also sings. So handsome he goes right through good-looking into some sort of weird uncanny valley where you think his face is a special effect.

Special Agent Dale Cooper
Thumbs up for the man who solves crimes via dreams, deduction and throwing stones at bottles on tree stumps while Andy reads out suspect names.

Magnum PI
I dunno, you guys. Does he really fit in this list? Is he the guy you want investigating a locked room murder? If someone's menacing a damsel who later turns out to be a blackmailer, then sure, but I dunno if he's going to solve the case of the murdered girl with the big tits.

Sherlock Holmes
The definitive portrayal, accept no substitutes, except maybe Peter Cushing. Truly born for the role, Jeremy Brett personified Holmes, perhaps taking his method acting too far when he threw a professor off a waterfall in the Lake District for 'research purposes'.

Of course, we all vote for the weird one.
I didn't think there was a single person alive who hasn't accidentally watched at least a dozen episodes of Murder She Wrote at some point.

Preferably someone who is strong, handsome, and powerful
Maybe someone who is the most strong, handsome, and powerful....

Which is like, deadlier animals, but hardly enough to be the terror zone that its reputation is.
Compare Leslie Nielsen's first appearance as a washed up Mountie who turns a corner when his past tries to kill him, and his second appearance when he hides in a train toilet bowl while Benton is macking on his boss on the top of the carriage
I figured only three people would even know who he was.

But then remember that episode also has a train carriage full of Mounties having a singalong.
