It's time to announce the candidates for our weekly poll!
And the nominees are....
Whack-a-Doyle
After a payoff from a substantial case, Jake rents a fantastic house filled with toys, gadgets, talking furniture and appliances. Malachy stops by to reveal the secret word each day. Jake occasionally indulges in snack time, makes picturephone calls and wears magic glasses.
Doyle: Cultural Learnings of Canada for Make Benefit Glorious Republic of Newfoundland
Taking a vacation from the P.I. business, Doyle decides on a cross-Canada trip. To save money, he applies for federal arts funding under the pretext of filming a documentary about what the rest of Canada can teach Newfoundland, and adopts a "goofy Newfie" persona and travels across the country. Appearing boorish and uneducated, Doyle makes stops at events like a rodeo in Alberta and an antique shop in Ontario and alternately endears and enrages the people he meets while exposing casual discrimination against Newfoundlanders and skewering Canadians' self-perceptions. Meanwhile, Tinny gets busted for pot or whatever she's got going on right now.
The Motorcycle Doyles
Jake and Walter ride a motorcycle across Newfoundland, providing detection along the way. The whole episode is dubbed in Spanish...badly.
Black Eyed Doyles
After a late night and a few too many drinks at the Duke Jake and Mal are mugged on their way back to Mal's place. While the mugging is going down Jake tries to fight off the robbers. Of course this drunken attempt at self-defense just doesn't really work and instead leads to both Jake and Mal getting a bit of a beating (and black eyes).
The next day, instead of reporting the theft to the police and dealing with the resulting embarrassment of such an activity, Jake and Mal undertake their own investigation to track down the muggers.
When Jake and Mal realize that their assailants are involved in more heinous crimes than just stealing wallets from drunk guys they feel obliged to call in both Leslie and the hot Crown prosecutor.
Doyle the Barbarian
In this dangerous line of work, Jake decides to carry protection. Carrying handguns is illegal, so Jake decides to see if he can get away with carrying a sword. In order to avoid trouble with the hot cop, Jake also wears a loin cloth and speaks in broken english. No case presents itself, but Jake is voted in as Governor of California.
