Does Doctor Who really count? The series isn't really about fighting crime in any meaningful sense, it doesn't meet the "outsider comes onto the other partner's turf" example (since the series is Walking the Earth, both Doctor and companion are usually out of place wherever they go), some of the examples are taken from parts of the series when there was more than one companion, and on the whole it kind of smacks of Entry Pimping.

Not an example — this is the opposite.
- The Riyria Revelations: He's a mercenary with a Hero Complex. He's a thief with a Dark and Troubled Past. They commit crime.
Are any of the examples on this page citations of actual use of the construction "He's a ___; he's a ___. They ____!"? If not, it should be clarified, because at first glance, it looks like these are quotations from the shows mentioned. If these lines are just made up by the editors of the page, it should be noted as such.
Oh,and what about Johnny Wander's "Pony Cop"? "He's a pony.He's a cop.Together they are PONYCOP"
Someone should add "Rising Sun". He's an ass-kicking black cop from the streets of LA, and he's an elderly white Japanese culture expert. They fight crime!
