Did/does the television show on which this character first appeared primarily deal with subjects relating to politics?

Clarification: is "male" just modifying detective, or is it also modifying police officer and lawyer?

So, a couple of helpful tidbits as the questions get closer to 20:

1. The word that made me flip one of the answers was “feature.” I had originally defined it something like to “include,” but then realized the definition of feature means it has to be something more integral and frequent to the show than just inclusion.

2.I suspect some people are reading an adjective into one particular question/answer that is not there and was not answered as if it were there. The actual definition of one of these terms may be broader than people are using.
