But seriously, it has to be Marshall Matt Dillon. He was a stud and also got the skanky Madam at the end of the show.

Raven, ya what was the name of that show? It was on A LONG time ago but was some funny shit. His name was Hammer and he always slept with his gun on its own pillow and kept a LAWS in his trunk. :)  Is it ion in reruns anywhere?

Also love Dirty Harry for his quick REAL justice and snide remarks with that cool $hit gun of his (the 44automag was nice too.).

And finally Chief Wigham, every bad stereotype of a police officer rolled into one for our enjoyment. Cant beat it.

The Brisco character has made quite a few anti-gun, anti-NRA, and anti-AR15 comments.

I am disappointed in all of you.  The best all-time TV cop was Steve McGarrett of Hawaii 5-0.  He killed a man every week.

Heather Lockyer's character in William Shatner's TJ Hooker.  The show totally anti-gun though, they had a scene where Hooker(william Shatner) says that armour piercing bullet should not be available after the TV characters were attacked by some bad guys, and the handgun bullet was shot at them went thru&thru a heavy commercial trash dumpster.  This was at the height of the BS about armour piercing bullets.

I have seen a few episodes in my day and don't recall anything that stands out -- He is certainly no Ben and Jerry's, no matter how you look at him.

I like TV characters that are like people, not fools or perfection -- like people.

How come nobody's mentioned David Keith in the short-lived [b][i]High Incident[/i][/b] from about four years ago? BTW, the Lieutenant Mike Torello character of Chicago's MCU on [b][i]Crime Story[/i][/b] was so good, I think, because Dennis Farina was a Chicago P.D. detective prior to starring in that show (Michael Mann had hired him as a consultant for the movie [b][i]Thief[/i][/b] a few years prior, so he went Hollywood). Also a big fan of [b][i]Hammer.[/i][/b] Think my favorite episode was when he was investigating the murders of the Elvis impersonators and had to go undercover. You can rent them at some Blockbusters.
