I think It was on around the time that Castle was on.

A blond skinny suave and debonair con man and a brunette female detective solving crimes.

Eventually get married in a cabin by a pond.

Male was English but no accent in the show.

Single name title

Was it Bones?

The Mentalist?

Not single name title and the male is not blonde. But the only thing that comes to mind is Remington Steele.

Thanks for playing

Couldn't remember Robin Tunney's name so I IMDB'd the show. Didn't realize it went 151 episodes.

I never saw a singles second of the show, maybe not even a commercial for it. But I knew it was the show he meant.

I'm not certain, but I might should be worried about that.

I liked both it and Castle,
Thought they did a good job

The male lead wasn't a con man

Same basic premise, but much earlier:

My ex watched it, so I caught a few episodes.

There seem to be a lot of these hour long cop drama shows that are truthfully just spin-offs of Sherlock Holmes. Some hyper-aware individual who notices every minor detail assists police in solving crimes. Monk, Lie To Me, The Mentalist, Psych, Bones, etc… My ex used to watch them all. To be fair though she also read all the original Sherlock Holmes stories and enjoyed the BBC series Sherlock so at least she appreciates the originals.

I never got into any of them with the exception of the BBC Sherlock, and the show Elementary wity Lucy Lu. Elementary was the only recent adaptation of Sherlock Holmes that got close to the correct relationship between Holmes and Watson. Even the BBC show did it incorrectly and while I enjoyed the RDJ movies a lot they really screwed the friendship up.
