Juliet O'Hara

Played by: Maggie Lawson in "Psych"

Why we like her: Because she loves her job the way a kid loves Christmas Eve. What other cop would don a roller derby uniform for an assignment, or her old prom dress to cover a death at a high-school reunion? What other policewoman can get all the pop-culture references a fake psychic and his sidekick throw at her?
