CSI before there was CSI
July 22 2011
Format:DVD
Well before Bruckheimer's CSI franchise there was LA Coroner Dr. R. Quincy, seemingly forever on a one man crusade for truth and justice. Quincy M.E. was a character driven show with Jack Klugman effectively portraying the passionate & dedicated coroner, ably assisted by Sam Fujiyama. His close friend, restaurant owner Danny Tovo, his politically conflicted boss, Dr. Robert Asten, and his antagonistic LAPD colleague, Lt. Frank Monahan, round out the main weekly cast.
While the ensemble casts of the current CSI shows often rely heavily on subtle (if not outlandishly unlikely) forensics, Quincy's science tended to be more straightforward and accessible to the viewer. As well, Quincy, M.E. had simple plot lines and simple character dynamics, unlike the increasingly self-referential, self-involved and navel gazing CSI franchise.
This show was typical, formulaic '70s-'80s American TV fare, kept interesting by Klugman's portray of the irascible Quincy; classic Americana. Two box sets (Seasons 1 & 2; Season 3) have been released. I do hope they release the rest.

Just like I remembered !
May 1 2011
Format:DVD
I used to watch Quincy when I was young and I wanted to become a medical examiner to catch bad guys. That didn't come true but I bought the DVDs to see if the serie was as good as I remembered and it is. I still like to watch Quincy in action. The forensics science was not what it is now but it doesn't matter. I like the way they bring up discussions or taboos like euthanesia or child abuse in certain episodes. Quincy is funny, sarcastic and challenge the authority for the greater good all the time. He's still the best !

Great show for young and old
Dec 6 2010
Format:DVD
My dad watched this all the time and while it was already off the air when I began watching it I still enjoy it. Just picked it up for my dad for Christmas and I'm sure he will be happy. One of the first medical shows (if not the first).
