    :pac:

    Hopefully :)

    A lot less choice and channels years ago, plus most of us only know a lot of them shows thru repeats.. Didn't see a lot of them when broadcast originally :pac:

    So you're one of the young'uns- bragger!!! :p
    :pac:



    It does bode well for those characters to get to the business end of proceedings :D

    Indeed- and also, I think a professional approach is called for when people vote in this Telly tournament. Personally speaking, I couldn't give a Falk who wins - I'll be sitting here enjoying the summer weather, eating my Magnum ice cream as it progresses. I just hope I can Garner some additional knowledge of such shows that i've enjoyed through the years- it will be an historical document that people can look back on the boards Files in years to come. :pac:

    Columbo - he always seemed so bumbling but had them down from the start. Very clever series.

    Oh this one is hard, I love Magnum but he really just was a beach bum. But it was a good show, his shorts were obscene but he was sexy as hell.

    Poirot most definitely one is the best portrayals of a character ever. Complex cases, intricate details and his little peculiarities made him one of the best.

    Columbo beats Buffy hands down:

    An Emmy award for Buffy for "Make-up" and "Music" - I mean really, how is that "kickass"

    Columbo:
    13 Emmys, two Golden Globe Awards, two Edgar Awards


    I rest my case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,445 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Round 18
    Buffy. Her kick ass crime fighting seemed to be centred around saving the world, as opposed to stopping a few bad guys.


    Round 19
    MacGyver. Give the man a bag of peanut m&m's, a paperclip, some cable-ties, and a wrist-watch and he'd end up making a fully functional oxy-cutter to escape from a locked walk in freezer on his way to stop the baddies.


    Round 20

    William Bodie, Ran guns for both sides during the congo war, mercenary in Angola, and dubious activities in Jordan before going back to England, joining the Paras, passing selection for the SAS and the moving to CI5. A proper all action hero.
