One of the most enduring genres in television is the buddy cop drama, often benefiting from the comedic and/or dramatic tension caused by the disparate characters' interactions. Reelz's police-drama Cracked is no exception, even if it offers a new twist on the genre.
Currently airing its second season, Detective Aidan Black (David Sutcliffe) has a new partner in Dr. Clara Malone (Brooke Nevin), a psychiatrist that helps Black through his post-traumatic stress disorder while they solve cases for the newly-formed Psych Crimes and Crisis Unit. A cop and a psychiatrist are an unusual pairing for a police drama, which got us thinking: what are the oddest TV detective duos of all time? Check out our Top Ten.

ReelzChannel's crime drama Cracked, which just debuted its second season earlier this month, has received 3 nominations from the Canadian Screen Awards. Besides nominations for Best Original Musical Score and Best Direction for Bruce McDonald (Pontypool), actor Rick Roberts also received a nomination for his guest role as a grieving father in the episode "How the Light Gets In."
Roberts wasn't the only actor to get a nod, however, as Cracked star David Sutcliffe earned a nod for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance as Detective Aidan Black, a seasoned Swat officer who transfers to the Psych Crimes and Crisis Unit after showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. Teamed with psychiatrist psychiatrist Dr. Daniella Ridley (Stefanie von Pfetten) — or with Dr. Clara Malone (Brooke Nevin) as he is in Season 2 — Black investigates strange and bizarre crimes that often come with emotionally disturbed criminals.

When the second season of our popular crime drama Cracked premiers January 6th, psychologically "cracked" (not broken) Detective Aidan Black (David Sutcliffe, Private Practice) will be paired with a new psychiatrist, Dr. Clara Malone (Brooke Nevin, Alter Egos), replacing Psych Crimes liaison Dr. Daniella Ridley (Stefanie von Pfetten, Seeds of Destruction). Changing a major character between seasons may seem like a pretty risky maneuver for a fledgling show, but we’re very excited about the energy and emotion Nevin brings to the cast. Besides, it wouldn’t be the first time that it’s happened on a popular series. Here’s our list of the more memorable actress replacements and character changes on TV.

Who is broken? Who is cracked? Reelz police-drama Cracked follows Detective Aidan Black and his partner Psychiatrist Dr. Daniella Ridley as they form the breakthrough Psych Crimes and Crisis Unit. The only problem is they may be just as crazy as the criminals they’re trying to catch.
So, using the Rorschach test (a psychological test using a series of inkblots) as inspiration, we've put together some images and illusions and want to know what you see. They’re definitely no inkblots and they’ll probably make you crazier, but see if you can crack them — we’re not judging. This one is courtesy of jpdery.

Near the beginning of last week’s episode of Cracked, the most adorable little boy ever asked Detective Aidan Black "why?" Why is he a police officer? Obviously, Detective Black’s answer was “to help people” and this is (hopefully) the number one reason, however if Hollywood has taught us anything (and Hollywood never lies…), it’s that this is more-than-likely not the only reason. So we’ve taken a look back at some popular movie cops to see if they have ulterior motives other than, or in addition to, joining the force for the greater good.
Don’t miss Cracked, Friday’s at 10p Et/ 7p Pt and if you missed last week’s episode check here for more chances to watch.

Perfecting the art of the puppy-dog eyes can be an effective way to get what you want, or in the case of our featured male actors, an effective way to win over a majority of the female (and probably male) population. Invented by our loyal furry friends (who know exactly what they're doing), it is almost impossible for one to avoid those wide dramatic eyes. Be it your furry pal asking for forgiveness after destroying the rug, or your significant other trying to persuade you to do something you'd really rather not, it is inevitable that one look will convince you to do almost anything for those taking advantage of it. Cracked starring David Sutcliffe had us won over as soon as Sutcliffe appeared on screen as Detective Aidan Black. The series itself is an intense, action-filled emotional ride that we can’t get enough of. Paired with Black’s heroism,...

Maybe we don’t get quite as excited as Peter Griffin from Family Guy gets when he watches a movie that includes the title in the script, but we do notice. So we definitely didn't miss it when police-drama Cracked integrated its name sake perfectly into the end of the first episode, leaving us wanting a lot more. The entire episode was filled with intense drama and emotion but nothing beat that last line. See for yourself below and then watch a supercut of the top 100 movies where they say the title of the movie. Peter Griffin wouldn't be able to contain himself.
Don’t miss Cracked Fridays at 10p Et/ 9p Pt for more crime, suspense and Detective Aidan Black.

The demise of the CBC has always been a source of amusement. Hardy har har. This year, however, the Canadian broadcaster is in on the joke. Sure, it may have cancelled ratings hit Battle of the Blades -- along with Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!, but it clearly had no choice. Blades was too expensive to produce, while the rights to the game shows were equally costly.
During last week's upfront presentation, Kirstine Stewart, executive vice-president of English services, said the CBC was "moving forward" -- and she wasn't kidding. The broadcaster will continue to do what it's always done -- support 100 per cent Canadian content while entertaining its loyal fans; just in a less extravagant way (unlike this year's season preview, which was the biggest I've ever seen from the network).
