I've never heard of this and IMDB indicates (barely, there's hardly any information), that it was a documentary mini-series. I don't know if I'd count that as a show.

I'm inclined to discount Castle, Dexter, L&O: Criminal Intent, Memphis Homicide Squad, Police Squad, Quincy, M.E., and The Closer.

Deftones 08-11-10 02:58 PM

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!
 
i'd argue all my maybe answers probably deal with murder cases the most, and should be counted as yes answers.

Dexter? Huh? Have you watched that show? While the focus is obviously on Dexter, his job and the people around him are always dealing with murder cases.

Red Dog 08-11-10 02:59 PM

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!
 
L&O is correct - they worked in the Robbery/Homicide unit and most episodes involved a homicide.

Is CSI:NY primarily the homicide beat? Don't they investigate other crimes as well? I guess it depends on what you mean by "beat." I don't think the CSI guys have any specific beat, but most of the cases they show them investigating are homicides.

Criminal Intent follows a division of the New York City Police Department, the "Major Case Squad". The Major Case Squad investigates high-profile cases (in most cases murder)...

I will confess I haven't seen every episode of L&O: CI, but I have never seen one that didn't involve a homicide.

Allow me to defend Quincy by stating that it was a TV show in which homicides were investigated by characters, including police officers, who were series regulars. If Cracker or Psych count, so does Quincy.

Fist of Doom 08-11-10 03:03 PM

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!
 
I'd like to challenge Quincy but, hell, I haven't seen it in a quarter century. I can't remember any details.

I agree because this will help my score.

i haven't watched CSI: NY in ages, but most of the crimes were murders that they investigated. occasionally you'd get the case that wasn't a murder, but primarily they were.

Castle is right, too. Kate Beckett (Stanic Katic's character) is a homicide detective in the show.


Stana Katic as Detective Kate Beckett – a homicide detective with the NYPD. She is a first-class investigator who has gained a reputation as a detective who's intrigued by unusual cases. She joined the force after her mother was murdered and the case was never solved.

In that case, The Andy Griffith Show qualifies due to the 2-parter where they track down the "Mayberry Strangler".

Tracer Bullet 08-11-10 03:06 PM

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!
 
Okay, let's go Uniques. All worth -10 points.

orangecrush: Castle
Red Dog: Columbo
wendersfan: Quincy, M.E.
Rockmjd23: The First 48
Jimmy James: The Glades
the big train: The Streets of San Francisco

Fist of Doom 08-11-10 03:07 PM

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!
 
The First 48 is a great answer.

damn it. i knew i shouldn't have used Robbery Homicide Division twice.

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!
 
I think Dexter totally counts, since Dexter, although not a cop himself, works in the homicide department with homicide detectives.

Edit: Oops, didn't see the post above. Disregard!
