Greatest TV cops of all time nominations.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Greatest TV cops of all time nominations. (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 5/29/2021 10:12:29 AM EDT

I'll go first. Det. Lt. Arthur Tragg was the ultimate cop. Sarcastic, contemptuous of lawyers, self-confident, slightly disheveled, and quick-witted.

Of course, he was Hamilton Burger's right hand man on Perry Mason......the once from the 50s and 60s.

Your turn. When you read this thread you will be reminded about how much better TV cops shows used to be even for all the cheeziness and sometimes poor acting. But there was neither wokeness nor pandering. It was good guys vs bad guys.

And the good guys were always going to ultimately be smarter.

Would have tongue punched her fart box... she's batshit crazy now.

Would have definitely tongue punched the fart box ofMariska Hargitay's cop character on Tequila and Bonneti.. I'd probably still tongue punch her fart box... i just hate her character on SVU...
