John,
Re your comment below:
"Even given that it's a TV/movie list, how the *heck* did
Philip Marlowe not make the list?"
I don't think it means CREATED for TV or movies, but
successful in those mediums no matter where the character
first appeared. After all, Sam Spade and Sherlock Holmes are
both on the list.
And using that gauge, Marlowe more than deserves a spot.
Eight feature-length movies (including two seminal noirs,
MURDER, MY SWEET and THE BIG SLEEP), two TV-movies, two TV
series ought to qualify you.
Come to think of it, is Mike Hammer (five feature-or four,
depending on whether or not you count the many incarnations
of the Stacy Keach series as one single show]) on the
list?
