I just bought a boat and want to know what Quincy's boat was named. Anyone know?

OK, lets get one thing straight, this show is awesome. Compare it CSI. Gristle just enters all the evidence into a computer, plays chess, and comes back at the end of the show to collect the murderers name from the printer.

Could Gristle have carried out throat surgery with a stanley knife and a ball point pen? No chance.

Klugman may have been ham on the bone but who would you rather watch, him or the 'zen like' (read wooden) Gristle?

Quince is the real deal and he sprays all over CSI.

I'm happy with any show where someone can solve crime in their spare time but Quincy is the best!

It's hilarious, exciting and just entertaining. Of course it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt for modern audiences but I think it does better on tv nowadays than a lot of other shows from the same time period.

It's really fun and enjoyable even while Quincy is off on a little tangent. The characters are so easy to love and I didn't think it's settings were cheap as someone else said.

An all round brilliant show to the very end!

I liked watching Quincy very much when it first aired, and still, in re-runs. I wish more episodes were available on DVD. (I have seasons 1 & 2.)

What makes me laugh when I watch now is Quincy's "righteous indignation" (as I call it) for every issue he's investigating. That guy sure is passionate...about everything!

For the kids out there, it's a gross mistake to judge things by today's standards. The show, Quincy, has to be put in context. Back then, most leading men were pretty implausible ladies' men, and the public was a bit less jaded.

I was going to say the public was "less gullible", but I know that's actually not true, in comparisson to 2007. We used to have an honest and objective media back in the 70's. Ever since the mid-80's, when network exec's decided the news departments had to become profitable, all we get now is salacious "entertain-news", celebrity gossip, and politically- or profit-motivated spin.

I worked in the media and in advertising for many years, and what we have today is a joke. Don't even think that what you're watching, hearing, or reading in the media is factual. You'd be better off assuming it isn't, and doing real research to find the truth. It's not on the evening news or in your morning paper, that's for sure.

(blushing) Oh, my! Went off on a little tangent there, didn't I?

Uh...Quincy good, albeit a bit "quaint" for modern audiences.

Y'know, the world got along just fine afte Quincy went off the air.How was that possible? He was a one-man army for preventing plagues and contaminated water and the like from killing all of us off every week. And yet here I am all these years later to talk about it. Quincy, you got some splainin' to do.

When Kluggo unzipped a body bag and Tony Randle popped up and said, "Quincy, Quincy, Quincy!" Not very realistic, if you ask me.

this show, like Hawaii-five 0, or MacGyver, or Matlock,
or Magnum, PI, are all of the same type, stamped out like cookies by no-talent writers who spend their days smoking cigarettes. Moronic plot lines, stupid dialog, cheap interior sets, lame actors. It almost doesn't matter what is on tv, if it was written in the late 70's or early 80's, it was stupid beyond belief.

I just watched a re run and it had to be the dumbest episode of ANY TV show I have ever seen. I remembered watching the show when it first came out, but not the horrid writing and acting.

It was the episode with the little boy buried in the ground by the kidnapper. The "team" is able to come up with a sketch of exactly what a woman involved looked like. Using only the following...
They found a Blondie hair, fine,
had teeth marks from an apple, OK,
but he concluded that because they found "heavy" make up she had a scar.
With these three clues, force fed to us, they were able to draw a picture of the woman!
Luckily Quincy had met her earlier in the day and was able to tie it all together, only after they sketched a turban on her. LOL.
This all along with him flying in a helicopter, at night, and finding a pool of water to help locate the area he was buried.
BEWARE !!!SPOILER!!!

(Quincy saves the boy)


Fun is fun, but this show was sooo whacked out, complete with Quincy getting his messages while he was out, about a 1/2 dozen women called for him.
Yeah he was a real looker that one.

Anywho, although it was the father to all the CSI crap on now, it has not aged well at all.

Fun Fact...

This show was on longer than the Odd Couple !!???!!!??

Ouch. I'm not sure why there are so many strong opinions and why they are so upset. But I'll throw in my two cents worth as well. Yes, I watched Quincy and I know I enjoyed it but I wasn't blind to the fact that the show had flaws but I overlooked them to enjoy the jest of the storyline. I got educated and sometimes just enough for me to go research for myself. Isn't that what entertainment is all about? To broaden our horizons so to speak? Besides enjoying the teamwork between Quincy and Sam ... I never felt grossed out by what was going on that slab. Until I was use to it, I did have that problem with CSI ..I guess I wasn't ready for the graphics of it all. But it too is a great show to watch and it also raises alot of talk around the water cooler at work. I don't recall Quincy getting married ...I must have blanked that out but as with most shows a marriage of any kind sure changes the concept. Maybe the shark nibbled at this show ..I'm just not sure if it completly jumped it.

Dr. Q was a true renaissance man. An airplane crashs and in 60 mins he knows more about airplane design the everyone at boeing. A man with truteets is beating to death and Dr. Q become a master of legestative procress. Not to mention his status was music critic.

Quincy never jumped the shark- he is and was a hottie.

The day Quincy complained about the coffee....again....

Oscar Madison: Medical Examiner

QUINCY jumped the shark when he stopped being just a coroner and started thinking he was the one man who held the cure for all of society's ills. The most pathetic and laughable example was when the big Q took on the "evils" of the grand jury system! Wow! None of us realized how close we were to living under a dictatorship of grand juries until a coroner "spoke truth to power" on our behalf. It stopped being an adequate crime show and became JACK KLUGMAN: CRUSADER AT LARGE. Especially repulsive was the sickeningly self-righteous way he would deal with anyone who didn't mindlessly go along with his feelings on whatever the issue of the week was. What a loon! And how many times did he start tongue-lashing some bureaucrat with the words "How many people have to die before..." Thankfully the show went off the air before the Q-Meister was reduced to saying "How many people have to die before someone does something about static cling

i hate it how he is like always right. but the one that really got on my nerves was when the boy that has the mental disability. he at first is not fast enough(in thinking), but then when Quincy says that they should do it again, it works then. that really pissed me off!!!!!!!!
