Best TV Cops

If I had to choose my favorite tv cop of all time I would have to go with the late great Lenny Briscoe from the original Law and Order.

Lenny was a stright shooter who always told it how it was...and he was FUNNY too. His constant sarcasm drove the cops portion of the show and allowed him to work well with any partner.

A close tie for second would be Benson and Stabler from Law and Order SVU. Their constant sexuality and dedication to the job makes them fun to watch.

As a side not...my favorite tv lawyer would have to be Jack McCoy from Law and Order.

Any thoughts? :)

No way, you are way way off. The absolute best cop ever on TV was Sgt. Joe Friday from Dragnet. Talk about straight shooter, "just the facts ma'am, just the facts." He was not just funny, he was hilarious. In almost every episode he would come up with a witty line just to show how clever he was.

Furthermore, the best TV lawyer is Alan from Boston Legal. Jack McCoy is too damned up tight and his "fight for justice" is too tired. He needs to move on to private practice and start wearing nicer suits.
