i was debating going all out for this one with sweeps, but then i chickened out. we'll see how stupid i am for not doing it.

nobody is missing anything. people are picking what they think everyone else will answer and it would appear they were right in doing so.

I hear you!

I loved the show but assumed few other people here watched it.

Not choosing the character doesn't mean we didn't see the show, it just means we thought another character was a better answer.

Some of these Sheep questions are hard to guess if there will be a main answer or a split. Unfortunately I hedged on Joe Friday.

Thanks for being patient with my wonky schedule. We'll wrap up tomorrow!

Meh. Using the term 'detective' very loosely. I'm not even going waste energy arguing.

Challenge! Belgium is not part of Britain!

I would have put every one of them on Omar.

Forget it, Jason, it's sheeptown.

It was a sheep question. There's nothing to argue.

I've never heard of Inspector Morse.

Challenge! Belgium does not exist!

And I've never watched it, but I knew it would be a good answer.

True. I also never remember a Sherlock Holmes TV series. Never even entered my mind. I really thought Hunt and Tyler would split most of the votes.

I remembered the series, but I don't think of Holmes as a TV detective, so I went with a safer answer.
