    Jack Bauer 24
    - probably unfairly voting here, as I've seen neither of these, but I like Kiefer Sutherland, and like the idea of 24 (I have the DVD boxset still in plastic - one day!)

    Will Graham Hannibal
    - love Mr Danes, I nominated him, but I'd also vote almost anyone against that popous sunglasses wearing dude

    Dexter Morgan Dexter
    - great character, up to when I stopped watching, which was, apparently, the right time to stop watching

    Sherlock Holmes Elementary
    - another of my nominations. JLM is great.

    Patrick Jane The Mentalist
    - great show, another of my nominations

    Shawn Spencer Psych v Hank Voight Chicago P.D
    - think I'm gonna pass here. I've never seen Chicago PD. I saw the first series (maybe two?) of Pscyche and didn't like it and found the character annoying.

    John Reese Person of Interest
    - I've only seen bits and pieces of Monk, and based on that, it seems a shame these two are against each other as he was good. But I loved PoI so vote goes here.

    Mitch Buchannon Baywatch / Baywatch Nights Vs. Kate Beckett Castle
    - pass here too. I don't really know either, except the former by reputation but more as a lifeguard than as a crime fighter.

    Votes above. Say what you want about how Dexter ended, at least it did rather than meandering on for nearly 20 seasons like SVU.

    The other two of my votes are just the better characters imo.

    Jack Bauer 24 - Jack Bauer invented kick-ass crime fighting and I will do everything in my power to make sure he wins this whole gig.

    Dexter Morgan Dexter

    Sherlock Holmes Elementary

    Chuck Bartowski Chuck

    Hank Voight Chicago P.D - A good solid tough guy cop.

    Adrian Monk Monk

    Kate Beckett Castle - A tough actual Detective, as opposed to some speedo wearing lifeguard who was a good crime fighter but loses out because he was first and foremost a lifeguard.

    They spent more time fighting gangs and murderers on the beach or having gun fights on boats than they ever did lifeguarding on Baywatch. ;)

    Very weird thing to be proud about, it was a great action show, but you do you.

    I still throw on an episode every now and again. Its class, especially the fact that almost every episode includes 2 full (mostly unknown) '80s songs mid-episode set to montages of the cast looking broody, usually when faced with a tough decision, and by the end of the song they're gonna do the right thing, as if we didn't already know. :D

    I can just imagine the writer going to the producer and saying they've got a great script, but its about 7 minutes shorter than it needs to be...
    PRODUCER: Do any of the characters have to make any decisions in this episide?
    WRITER: Well I guess Mitch has to decide if he actually wants to take down the criminals or continue allowing them to put the beachgoers in danger. I wouldn't really call it a decision, he's obviously going to do the right thing, its Mitch, he always does.
    PRODUCER: Nah its perfect, we'll get a 4 minute montage out of that easy, my son's band have a new song out. Anyone else got any big decisions to make?
    WRITER: Not really, the only other thing really going on in the episode is Caroline has a date.
    PRODUCER: That'll work, we can have a montage of Caroline deciding what to wear. My daughter's orthodontist's neighbour's niece has a band, they'll get some exposure and I'll get brownie points all around.
    WRITER: Actually I just had a really good idea on how to add some more jeopardy to the episode, give me half an hour and I'll have new scenes that should make up all 7 minutes we need.
    PRODUCER: No forget it, we're doing the montages!
    WRITER: But...
    PRODUCER: I've made up my mind. Great work Simon, you can go now.
    WRITER: (softly) My name is Alex.... ***walks away in dismay***

    Ever see Pitch Meetings on Screen Rant on YouTube? Little scenes like this about movies (mostly) and TV shows. Can be very, very funny!

    Vic Mackey The Shield - Obviously. One of the ultimate badasses

    Elliot Stabler Law and Order SVU - Elliott was great.
    Sherlock Holmes Sherlock - Old school brilliance
    Jessica Fletcher Murder She Wrote - Loved her
    Thomas Magnum Magnum, P.I. - That moustache, can we just pop Tom Selleck in here?
    Ted Hastings Line of Duty - Tough draw for Dick Castle, Ted Hastings takes the W for me though
    Gil Grissom CSI - Original CSI was great. Haven't watched Fargo admittedly.
