Agreed. It would work in some respects better than the other team-ups they writers are doing. And they have powers that complement each other rather well, not to mention personalities.

Also, I think television writers do a better job with platonic relationships than romantic ones.

One of our most popular tv procedurals was about a lawyer-and-detective duo solving crimes.)

We used to have Nero Wolf, which was one of my favorites...lawyer in the wheel chair and detective on the streets...

I don't know why we haven't done more of it.
