They Fight Crime Discussion
Kriegsmesser: What, no They Fight Crime! quote for They Fight Crime? /cry
Ununnilium: I don't think Tru Calling or The Brady Bunch Variety Hour really fit.

Gareth: Fair enough on Tru Calling, I've removed it. As for the other, I've added a description of the premise and I'll leave its presence up to consensus.

Ununnilium: Was it actually supposed to be, in-show, something literally put on by the Brady family? If so, it fits. If not...

Gareth: I think so. There's more details [1]here. To be certain I'd actually have to watch the show, and that's going a bit too far.

Ununnilium: Huh. All righty.
Fire Walk: Is it me or do the examples seem to be veering into "This show is weird". From the description, I'd understand this as a show with a weird element or two, but that don't really implement their presence in a major way, so a lot of examples don't seem right.

(Later, with that in mind, pulled the following, as they don't seem to fit:
Citizen: I was going to put this in, but changed my mind:
Shakugan No Shana: He's the remnants of an Ordinary High School Student, kept alive by the most sought-after artifact in the world. She's a flaming immortal loli hunter experienced only in combat. They Fight Crime.

Fire Walk: The examples here REALLY need a better idea on what should be included; This seems to be veering very close to being a rehash/ prehash of Better Than It Sounds or Exactly What It Says On The Tine, when really it should be more "this show presents fantastic/ outlandish concept, but generally delivers fairly standard plotline". Just because someone fights a multitude of evils, including crime, doesn't make them an example, in my book.

Antheia: Something else this page really needs is a better name. This is nearly as bad as Bus Full Of Nuns was — going over the wicks for this page, almost all assume the trope is crime-fighting. I suggest we rename this one, make They Fight Crime a redirect to whatever the name for crime-fighting stories (do we have that one? is called, and change the few wicks that are currently correct.
