I was surprised people here had seen Ironside. For those of you who don't know but do care, tis a 70s detective show with a twist. And that twist is this: Ironside's underside is actually made of - yep, you got it- IRON! See, he's paralysed from the belly downwards, so he goes around in a wheelchair, which he referred to as 'The Chairlady McDeath'. Probably.

Anyway, he was like Angel, except he wasn't a vampire, he wasn't particularly good looking, and his group of Scoobies were pretty ugly too.

But still: this is one cripple you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.

So, feel free to bring up any other of your favourites.

So this monk walks around solving heinous crimes even though he's dead? Or did you miss something out?

Incidentally, with a name like Cadfael, what else did he expect? It's like being called Randy Foryoson.

doctor charm?
Even I can't remember what I was trying to say there.

See? Sloan's charm radiates through my very fingers, springing into type at a nod of his head.

Ah! My poor eyes, such painful blasphemy.
Nononono, Sloan > Quincy, M.E. also.

See, Quince tried to keep up on the whole doctor charm. But he can't rap, he can't tap-dance, and he hasn't got a wonderfully white tache. And he doesn't even hint at the possibility of breaking into song at any moment.

How lame.

The only person who comes close to Sloan is Columbo. Only because he's in the Princess Bride as well as being an official legend.
