I can't possibly cover every Watson type character, especially since Tumblr polls only give me 12 options, so I've filled out some on the top of my mind or ones that are more famous, and then there's the "Other" option to support any favorites not on the list.

There's several John Watson adaptations where he's pretty close to the book canon, so I haven't listed all separately here, mostly just ones where there's a more distinct change (modernization, etc.) or he has more focus.

So without further ado:

monk: genuinely tony shalhoub is an incredible actor and while i do like the show. i do not think it’s necessarily my favorite out of all the ones i’ve watched recently. it gets very repetitive after a while but it is very comforting for me to be able to watch a show n know that it will be solid and interesting :)

white collar: literally insane how good this show is n how little people talk about it. matt bomer is such a great actor and his chemistry with the other cast members is so enjoyable!! he kinda has no chemistry with some of the women he’s put with but i forgive him bc he is so pretty…

leverage: another really good show… honestly it’s very pulpy and campy but that means it’s always going to be fun and enjoyable and every episode ends basically happy!! i think parker, eliot, and hardison are easily a top 10 trio in all of fiction… they just play off of each other rly well

psych: peak. tv has not gotten better than this and probably will never. i have never laughed so hard at a tv show. i love u dulé hill if ur seeing this.

burn notice: love but also not as much as i love my other bad boy anti hero procedurals. sometimes it is like soooo agressively masculine bc they’re trying to seem cool n idk i think it doesn’t always work… i still love u tho don’t worry.

U are so right U ARE SO RIGHT

U so right. Mr. Monk and the OTHER Much Cooler and Totally Legit Psychic

What case do you think they are working on? Who is helping who? Or maybe rather who is giving who a headache? They could feasibly, albiet miserably, get Monk to Santa Barbara its only a 6 hours drive
