    Brooklyn 99. Terry Crews is happily married, drives a minivan, is neurotypical.

      Terry in the show probably has some body dysmorphia/eating disorders. He’s been shown to have difficulty controlling his food intake with the nibs, the weird dieting with Gina and Amy and he’s also used the gym to avoid his problems. Plus he had some PTSD in the early seasons (I think from shooting an innocent person? I don’t remember exactly why) which is why he wasn’t in the field for the first few seasons. Also I think technically his rank is lieutenant so I’m not sure he’s technically a detective

        He shot a mannequin because he kept getting nervous about getting killed in the line of duty after the twins were born.

        And then he shot another mannequin.

    Depends if “classic car” is era-dependent or not

    Eg Peter Wimsey probably fits all of these, and drives a 1920s car, but in stories set in the 1920s so not classic at the time

      Having recently read more Dot Sayers than should legally be allowed (one day I shall recover), let me assure Lord Monocle is "not* neuro typical

    Columbo. Neurotypical is debatable, a lot of his behavior is an act to make the suspect less guarded. But he drives a shitty car, is happily married, and isn’t “too old for this shit.”

      Well … that 1959 Peugeot 403 was 30+ year old by the 90s (and 40+ in 2003) … so idk, but it def felt like a statement.

      (Chars often have shitty old cars in the same sense as some have fancy “classic” ones.)

        But the show started in the 60s, and it’s the same car. You could argue his trenchcoat and hat (de rigeur when the show started) were more affectation in later years, or accept that at some point those simply occupy the role of signifiers that “yes this is Columbo.”

        JANEWAY WAS MRS COLOMBO?? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS??

        Its ironic that she ended up in a federal prison.

    Columbo

    • GhostMutt@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think it depends on the definitions of “classic car” and “addiction”, since he smokes cigars and drives a 1959 Peugeot.

        That would be like driving a 2015 Camry today though.

      • ChicoSuave@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        He quits smoking and it becomes a minor character arc for him as he needs to find something to do with his hands. He ends up asking for pencils a lot.

      In retrospect I’m not sure he’s neurotypical.

      And it was the 70’s they didn’t talk about his problematic meth addiction.

    Tom Barnaby from Midsomer murders.

      They all fail at number 4

  • TheFlopster@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Either Barnaby from Midsomer Murders would pass this test.

    And I’d like to second the nomination for Jessica Fletcher. She was happily married, but widowed by the time the show starts.

    Maxwell Smart.

    His cars weren’t “classic” when the show was airing.

    Are we counting early Columbo’s cigarettes as his addiction? Cuz otherwise I think he fits the bill

    source
    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I was gonna say Columbo but it clearly says neurotypical.

      source
      • kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I think he’s more or less neurotypical. His quirks seem largely to be an intentional act to throw off his suspects and make them underestimate him.

        Good to know that there is at least one laugh because the original post was pathetic.

      Only seen a little bit of the original, but SUV def fails this list for most of them. I havent seen it in years but even when new people replaced others they all had to have some sort of vice. Def more than a few of them had addictions, most were never married or divorced because the job ruined it. Not sure about the rest.
