Detective: Inspector Gadget (Inspector Gadget)
John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy were both put in jail due to the hard work of detectives, as were a host of other criminals and crumb-bums. Inspector Gadget doesn't really do anything. His niece, Penny (who I had quite the crush on when I was a kid-got to love them cartoon honeys), does all the work.

Detective: Not Quite As Sensational As In The Movies
If your image of being a detective begins and ends with Dick Tracy, then get it out of your head right now. It’s not as glamorous, and you won’t be facing off against Big Boy, Mumbles or Prune Face.
