So, who's the world's greatest detective? (other than the big two)

[Leemaster777]

Okay, I think we can all agree that Batman and Sherlock Holmes are the greatest detectives in all fiction.

But who, in your opinion, gives them a run for their money?

Maybe Naoto from Persona 4? Professor Layton? Velma?

Personally, I'm going with The Question:

 

[The Lesbian Flower]

Steve from Blue's Clues. Honey was a beast.

 

[GigaHz]

Steve from Blue's Clues. Honey was a beast.

I second this.

Steve was a genius.

 

[octafish]

I quite like C. Auguste Dupin, Hercule Poirot, Lester Freamon and Nick and Nora Charles. My all-time favourite though is Detective Frank Pembleton with Meldrick Lewis a close second.

But Frank most of all because Andre Braugher is formidable.

Escapist, I am disappoint. This should have been first.

Oh shit, I knew I was forgetting someone when I made this thread. Well done sir.

 

[JuTheTo]

Escapist, I am disappoint. This should have been first.

I second that.
Also Death Note, my all time second favourite anime namely because Fullmetal was my first

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

It's close between these two, first is from Death Note, second is from Monster.

Haha, thanks. I'd like to applaud your choices as well, good sir.

Dude, it's my second favourite too, what a coincidence! (the first being Monster)

Holy shit, I'm not the only one on here who has watched Monster and enjoyed it! *fist pump*

 

[JuTheTo]

only watched a little bit of monster when i was younger heard great things about it but could not find one good source of the anime but thanks for reminding me, think i'll get to that now, also my alternative to L is Detective Conan, WOOK AT HIS WITTLE CHEEKS!

Guy Noir, Private Eye!

I love the Prairie Home Companion.

Now, you young 'uns might not know about it, but the Prairie Home Companion is a radio show on NPR that is hilarious.
You should listen to it, since the podcasts are available online.

 

[Kae]

Are you guys serious? the obvious greatest detectives of all time are Scooby Doo and his crew!

 

[Horizontalvertigo]

Hercule Poirot can run rings around most detectives, it's all a matter of using the little grey cells!

 

[Gaiseric]

I would say Castle but he isn't a detective so I'll go with Harry Dresden, Ray Lilly(not really a detective either), or John Taylor.

 

[Aetera]

How has Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade not been mentioned yet? I mean, Maltese Falcon. Come on.

No one watches the classics anymore.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Horatio Caine from CSI:Miami. It counts if he isn't real. Although is does very little CSI'ing he does figure things out more quickly than others.

 

[Talon_Skywarp]

Scott Shelby.

The man can beat up pimps and feed babies.
