I would love to see #5 on an episode of Dragnet - The Big Doorbell Ringer.
Friday: I was rainy in Los Angeles. My partner is Bill Gannon. We are working out of Property Crimes.
Gannon: We got a report of a serial door bell ringer.
Friday: Let’s go out and canvas the neighborhood. Knock on some doors and … well, let’s just knock on the doors.
Dum, da dum dum!

Captain: So, you found out what happened?
Gannon: The homeowner had a motion detector on his doorbell and somebody left a package with a balloon tied to it.
Friday: It was just like Bob Dylan said.
Captain, Gannon: What?
Friday: Like he said, the answer was blowing in the wind.
DUM, DA DUM DUM!

Didn’t like either voice on #3. Jessica would only help if I were related to her or a family friend. Kolchak would only care if it was newsworthy

Kojak, really!
We all know Monk wraps it up in the last 15 minutes plus hw even switches to b&w to give you that flashback feel.

I love Kojak but I don't think he would be particularly torn up over my dying.
I had to go with Monk.

50% similar. Some weird questions on this quiz. Someone using my shampoo? Someone taking my sandwich from the lunch room; well, if it was a special turkey sandwich with a gravy-soaked bread in the middle, that may be different...I would have to call Ross from Friends; he would definitely know how to handle the situation. 😂😂
Velma, not Columbo, will find your shampoo.
Cannon will gladly camp in front of your yard eating barbecue.

If some idiot stole my Prell, I'd, I just would! You made me hungry, with that turkey and gravy sandwich talk.
100% I didn't even have to look at the questions with the Columbo choices.
When I read the situation in #3, I thought of Paul Kersey and the camera theft scene in "Death Wish 3."

I took this quiz anyway but some of the scenarios and the right choices to most of them didn't make sense because these detectives mostly deal with big crimes like homicide (murder), extortion, kidnapping, robbing banks, etc. These are pretty much small, nobody-at-the-end-of-the-day-actually-cares-about-them crimes.
