Who is your all time favourite detective? (117)
As for Sherlock Holmes-- it's Robert Downey Jr that makes it great more than the original character.
So I had to go with Columbo... who always understood the value of being underestimated.

I totally understand-- I've all but stopped listening to music because I put Conversational Italian on my iPod and hooked it up to my car stereo!
....I also laughed at the MATH JOKES, so apparently I'm doomed.

Columbo without a doubt, something about that battered old raincoat, but Sherlock Holmes is a close second.
Just in case anyone is interested.... I made a Sherlock Holmes quiz a while ago. You can find it by either clicking on the "Tests" button at the top of this page, or by going onto my profile page and clicking on "My Quizzes" in the left hand column.
It's Elementary!

Colombo was different because WE knew who the murderer was and our enjoymenrt came fromwatching Colombo work it out!
Holmes is SO fanciful, but VERY entertaining for all that. THE Holmes, for me, is Jeremy Brett from the 80's TV series...
Anyone remember McMillan and Wife?
