Yeah. I’m stretching my rule as much as possible. I’m basically trying to exclude all characters that have already been audience tested. Parody is sort of included in that.

Ha ha, fair enough, I admire your determination to make this rule stick!

Oh, another one - Father Ted!

House, Sherlock, Columbo, Reacher, Lucifer
