Freamon's great, but did he ever burn his clothes to hide an adulterous dalliance with his wife? NO! His partner w1nz0rs.

my friend kate, who solved her own burglary and landed the perps up in jail. (this episode included a late-night visit from a still unidentified man with a lead pipe on her porch, as she was in the midst of untangling the mystery -- the dog chased him away.) she recovered her cell phone (which was key to the detection, as the idiot burglars kept calling even after she had the phone back) and computer, with other goods hopefully to come.

well obviously the real answer is Holmes, but I would like to see 'the dude' solve more crimes.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 09:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Frank Pembleton is the best ever at getting someone to confess, but I'd go for Monk. There is one episode where a newspaper is thought to be a key to the mystery, so he starts reading it to see if he can spot why. Every other page he's telling his assistant to call NYC or Paris or somewhere because he has solved the murder reported in the paper, in passing.

now if this question were asking who the greatest 'secret agent' was, well that would be easy.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 13:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Of course you mean Maxwell Smart..
