Sheriff Carter and company from the TV series Eureka. Each episode would start off with some advanced tech gone wrong and the sheriff (who wasn't a scientist) would have to figure it out. When people died, it was usually unusual.pinball1970 said:I give in, who are they?

We've gone a bit British, midsummer murders next! I will check out USA "Murder she wrote" She was a little bit Columbo from memory, so if you did get murdered you need her on the case.julian said:Talking of John Thaw, there is the brilliant Detective Chief Inspector Morse.
Inspector Morse was a detective with the Oxford City Police, known for his intellectual acumen, love of classical music, taste for the finer things, and his fondness for real ale. Morse often solved complex murder cases in and around the city of Oxford, assisted by his loyal and more down-to-earth colleague, Sergeant Lewis, played by Kevin Whately.

<ring> "That number four you just picked up from Angelo's Pizza? Some scouring powder fell in there. Don't eat it. Hey, I hope you try your phone machine before dinner."
Captain Crocker from The Abbey Grange is an even better example, since his crime was homicide (though arguably in self-defense), whereas Ryder's was just theft.PeroK said:Sherlock Holmes often lets the criminal off. For example, from the Blue Carbuncle:
