Well yes.

Pacific Blue strikes again!

i actually almost picked Police Squad but I couldn't remember if it was based in LA or not. good thing I didn't.

I like that no one said Police Squad! for the comedy question

And our worst answer...

Police Squad! or Police Squad!... in Color would have been accepted.

It was my first thought, but it seemed too obvious. I just can't figure out sheep psychology.

The only reason I remembered Police Squad! was set in CA was because of the part at the Angels game in the first Naked Gun. Also, it seemed too obvious for the comedy question.

Question 12: R: Name a cop show whose primary focus was the homicide beat.

According to Wikipedia, the setting of the show is a bit of a mystery:

"There is a map of the New York City area, as well as a map of Downtown Chicago hanging in Police Squad Headquarters, making the true location of the series a mystery. In one episode, Ed and Drebin are seen looking at a group of thumbtacks in a map of Minneapolis."

Our first real answer of the game comes courtesy of macnorton:

Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald

For this he gets 10 points.

So some of you should be concerned.

i have a feeling this will be the question with the most challenges.

Now we'll see if the question was worded as you inteded.

Let's get challenges out of the way. Here's the full list of answers:

Castle
Columbo
CSI: New York
Dexter
Homicide: Life on the Street
Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Law and Order
Memphis Homicide Squad
NYPD Blue
Police Squad
Quincy, M.E.
Robbery Homicide Division
The Closer
The First 48
The Glades
The Streets of San Francisco

I challenge Quincy. He's an medical examiner -- it's right in the name of the show!

10 points for everyone! Let's go to question 13 then.
