Q is for Quincy


"Gentlemen, you are about to enter the most important and fascinating sphere of police work: the world of forensic medicine". 'Quincy, M.E.' featured Jack Klugman in the title role, a heavily principled Medical Examiner who frequently worked outside his coroner's role to play detective in order to solve his cases - ruffling more than a few feathers in the process. The show later introduced themes of social commentary, one of the first US shows in the Eighties to openly further a social agenda.
