	Eliot Ness was a Fed, not a cop.

	No Officer Winslow is the biggest snub in the history of sporcle! I say we riot like its Iran.

	The Wire is the greatest show of all time

	milkmeister:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 20:26 GMT	2 points
	At least 2 bonuses, but no Streets of San Francisco, one of my favourites. Good quiz though!

Where is Robert Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond?

	Yojimbo28:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	7 points
	^^At least 3 bonuses. I also vote for Carl Winslow's inclusion in this list. And mungar, Police Squad only lasted 6 episodes, but it was 6 of the best episodes in television industry. To me, that's the show that's the poster child for a series canceled before its time.

	I focused way too long on the ones that "I knew" I knew. I did, but twenty seconds after I should have moved on to guess random shows. Had I done that, I would not have missed HSB or Cold Case.

	bfg1118:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 20:48 GMT	7 points
	You included "Hunter". Nice!

	bugaffi:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 20:50 GMT	4 points
	Where's Matt Parkman?

	SlovakOne:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 20:55 GMT	1 point
	I'm missing Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He's tough.

	estivator:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 20:56 GMT	4 points
	Would have loved to see Ray Vecchio from Due South.

	Kicking222:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 21:12 GMT	5 points
	Methinks a "TV Cops II" should be in the works. With that said, this was a fine quiz- it'd be ridiculous to expect every TV series with a police officer to be on the quiz, and I think this was a good mix of classic and current shows.

	Dirtybird:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	4 points
	I aslo wish Hoppy and Smitty from Sanford and Son was here aslo.

	does chris hansen count

	OldSpotPig:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 21:15 GMT	-2 points
	Why was Cagney and Lacey a bonus answer and not a proper answer? And where was Ironside?

	popkiller:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 21:25 GMT	3 points
	no Charlie Crews? that show doesn't get respect anywhere

Comment below threshold: show it

	David G:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 21:35 GMT	2 points
	Erik Estrada's character from CHiPs is named Francis Llewellyn Poncherello... "Ponch" is just a nickname.

	bobc:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 21:48 GMT	2 points
	Low scores on Hotch and Lily, who are on two of the better cop shows on TV these days, IMO, along with Without a Trace and Flashpoint.

	Salukimars:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:03 GMT	6 points
	Hows about Lieutenant Tanaka and Sledgehammer?

	chris1889:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:05 GMT	5 points
	I think it's a shame so few people got Jimmy McNulty. The Wire is probably one of the best TV shows of all time

	WhiteSox:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:07 GMT	9 points
	Officer Barbrady from South Park anyone?

	GaidinBDJ:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:20 GMT	13 points
	Gil Grissom wasn't a cop, he was a "CSI." While Crime Scene Analysts (the actual term) do operate under Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department they are not themselves police officers.

	MeTheTyler:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:23 GMT	5 points
	where is Officer Carl Winslow from Family Matters?

	Escaho:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:27 GMT	6 points
	Yeah, as GaidinBDJ said, Gil Grissom is a CSI, not a cop. He should be replaced with "Jim Brass," the lead detective on the show. Also, really surprised Without A Trace didn't make the list.

	I don't know if we're supposed to reveal bonus answers in the comments section, but the bonus answer "Cop Rock" illustrates one reason why this site is terrific.

	Skizzle:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:43 GMT	2 points
	Fun fact: Cop Rock won two Emmys and was nominated for 3 more.

	McNeal:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 22:50 GMT	4 points
	Homicide is the best cop show I've ever seen

	Iridium:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 23:01 GMT	3 points
	Was hoping 'Frasier' would be a bonus... Martin Crane of Frasier who was a cop until he was shot in the hip and forced to retire.

	zigra:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 23:05 GMT	0 points
	Right there with you McNeal. I got 4 bonuses - anyone know how many there were total?

	Bojan:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 23:18 GMT	0 points
	I wanted to ask about police squad, but am a little bit late for that. But I can still ask where is officer Mahoney :)

	Ben:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 23:33 GMT	2 points
	7 Bonus answers in all... sorry I left off some of everyones favs.. completely forgot about Carl Winslow.. my bad... enjoy..

	jaymc:	Jun 18th, 2009 at 23:52 GMT	2 points
	Was hoping for a "Fish Police" bonus answer.

	dsee:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 00:10 GMT	3 points
	its nice to see the Wire on here, a good series with great dialouge and to see Southland even though its new
