Amazon Prime has added all the Monk episode... I've been binge watching.
Columbo was removed from Netflix so I sent them hate mail then a few death threats.
Before I reveal my 'choice' I have to say.... it nearly came to a coin toss. I like both series that much. There are elements of each that I think are 'better'.
Since you can't add two polls in one thread.... I don't think, I didn't actually try... another question would be: Which detective of those TWO would you least want on your tail? And a third question... which detective EVER would you least like being suspicious of you?
Ok... my choice: I went with Columbo. Put very roughly... I think Columbo is a bit more 'sophisticated' and Monk a bit more slapstick. - JamesJM
