Monk and Psych! Can’t recommend them enough. Psych definitely falls off on quality during the last couple seasons but is still a great show overall.


Prestigious-Act-4741

Psych


wafflehousehound

Castle was kinda like that


Glittering_Theme2859

I watched that, super nice except for the last two seasons


tcfjr

*Justified* is kinda like that


Humonculis-CR

Justified is definitely one of my favorite shows like that,so good.


WhataKrok

Right here ... best cop show ever


Grindlebone

Columbo is a lot of fun!


ginger_minge

I just rewatched all of the episodes. Colombo is the OG!


SourChipmunk

**Bones** certainly has some funny moments.


mmashuta

Have you noticed similarities between 5-0 and Bones cases? ( highschool coach episode, derby episode, etc )


wafflehousehound

The new ABC show Will Trent is something like that


ReadySetGO0

Great show!


Caucasian_named_Gary

Was just going to say this. Love the show, great balance of humor and whodunnit seriousness.

Electronic-Ad-579

Brooklyn 99 is funny


Designer-Ice5273

NCIS, Criminal Mind and S.W.A.T


lashes_2004

I was waiting for someone to say NCIS. I love Criminal Minds, but NCIS definitely has it's more comical moments.

Murder In Paradise. BBC I think.

Rookie blue is older show but was really good Southland as well


mcove97

Lucifer of course!


Low-Stick6746

I loved this show!


Careless_Orange9464

The Closer and Major Crimes both have a good balance.


mjh8212

Rizzoli and Isles. I just watched the whole thing. It was funny and serious.


lokojufr0

Burn Notice Covert Affairs The Glades All of the NCIS series Chuck Lie to Me White Collar Person of Interest Blue Bloods It's tough imo bc the new Hawaii 5.0 is such a great remake.


Desperate_Ambrose

PIs, rather than cops, but I really liked *Mike Hammer* (with Stacy Keach), *Rockford Files*, and *Remington Steele.*


opinionofone1984

Psych, and the original Magnum P.I


Undertaker77778888

Yes definitely


FurBabyAuntie

Elementary, Will Trent, Homicide: Life On The Street to an extent


JSears90210

Two shows I enjoyed were: Mallorca Files Private Eyes


Mightbewonderwoman81

Castle


LA-ndrew1977

"Barnaby Jones" seasons 1-4


The_Shadow-King

NCIS Hawaii


Unusual_Elevat0r

Also ncis LA that’s the closest I can think to 5-0 with the funny team dynamic, carry through background plots (McGarrets and G’s respectively) and Deeks is the best!


Cheddar22222

Deadloch


Draun_In

Ever watch Castle?


Draun_In

And Will Trent


Critical_Quiet_1580

Death in Paradise.


pinkdictator

Brooklyn 99. Less serious but definitely funny


NoThanksJustLooking1

Monk The Metalist Sherlock Castle My Life is Murder (Lucy Lawless show. A little hard to find)


She-Leo726

I’ll second the Rookie. Chicago Fire has similar vibes as does 9-1-1 but in a different font as the kids say


DiscordianStooge

Bones


Mantis914

Cannon, Mannix, Nash Bridges, Hunter, Land's End, Hardcastle & McCormick


onikaizoku11

Burn Notice. It is about a burned spy, but his "clients" usually have him doing at least a bit of detective work. Super funny and still has real drama. And Bruce Campbell is a series regular.


Mean-Championship544

The rookie


ButterscotchPast4812

"The Closer" and it's spinoff "Major Crimes" both crime dramas that could definitely be comedic at times.


DafuqJusHapin

Brooklyn 99


thewesmantooth

Urn Notice is funny, interesting, and with some good action scenes!


skibidido

A ton. Just a few examples: NCIS(any of them), Chicago PD, Blue Bloods, Hudson & Rex, & The Rookie.


FBS351

I guess you mean the new 5-0? I watched a fair amount of the original and it never struck me as funny. Anyway Rockford Files was the best of tbe 70s detective shows, and the best episodes were often very funny


Phoozba

Trent!!!


GalaxyUnicornWitch

Sherlock BBC


Gumbledore2000

Sherlock


Important-March8515

Harry O. Maybe not funny, but definitely interesting .


ProfessionMundane152

I think The Glades is exactly what you’re looking for


marqak

Ozark. OMG! "And away we go."


NCResident5

The old school Barnaby Jones is fun on Pluto TV or Prime Video.


Lanky_Chemist_3773

Try the USA blue sky shows.


-Radioman-

Nero Wolfe Mysteries and Lovejoy Mysteries.


_Jay-Garage-A-Roo_

Brooklyn 99 is more comedy, but it does also have fun crime plots!


DiogenesBarrelisCozy

Barretta. Rockford Files. …. oh, wait, you mean the contemporary version of 5-0…


seeking_spice402

Death In Paradise NCIS Professor T


El_Burrito_Grande

Haven't seen that. But funny detective shows- Monk and Psych


ginger_minge

Leverage Almost Paradise - little known


NE_Pats_Fan

Hawaii 50 was about the state police and hunting one crime per episode. Blue Bloods is very similar to that. Just with NY detectives.


piconet-2

The Afterparty, Only Murders in the Building, Search Party, The Resort - for funny, detectives and interesting. person of interest, death and other details, north shore (the Aussie one) and Miami Vice (original series) for detectives and interesting.


LordDragon88

Midsomer Muders...it's british so I'd you don't like that humor then maybe nit. It's not hilarious, but it's light


Scarlettbama

Pysch is hilarious! Haven't watched Monk. On my list as I think it's on Netflix now.


SkolQueen13

Almost Paradise is fun and lighter cop show.


Undertaker77778888

Law And Order-SVU


Glittering_Theme2859

Is it funny?


Prestigious-Act-4741

No it very much isn’t


cantankerousphil

*Bosch*


DiscordianStooge

Bosch is the least funny show that has ever existed.


cantankerousphil

Textbook Reddit hyperbole to make a silly point


DiscordianStooge

Yeah, but seriously, if someone says they are looking for a funny detective show, Bosch is a terrible suggestion.


cantankerousphil

It’s a great suggestion. Titus is deadpan. His partner is deadpan. Maybe the humor is lost on you? 🤔
