I'd just point out how his career plummeted then watch him crumble into a soggy mess weeping in the corner as he learns his lines for his next energy comparison advert .......

He has merit,,,,,, but we all know he's nothing without Watson and less than nothing without Moriarty .....

Without those sidekicks he's just another private dick,,,,,

I have to agree with several posters who say that columbo is number 1, no sane person would disagree.

Second best would have to be Sherlock Holmes purely because of the number of times he ejaculates in the original books.
