5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute joy Mar 11 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I was a kid I wanted to be Quincy , because of this show I never lost my love of forensics. This show still holds up very well, I found my self enthralled and enchanted all over again.
If you were a fan back in the day then I promise you that you won't be disappointed.
My only issue is that the shows are on side A and side B, but turning the disc over somehow seems appropriate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dead Men Do Talk Feb 20 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Writer-Producer Glen Larson puts another detective series for the thinking man head-to-head, so to speak, against the phenomenally successful, cerebral COLUMBO. QUINCY, M.E. has no front handle, either.

Doctor QUINCY's schtick is not his little grey cells alone, but forensic science to catch the murderer by evidence left in the corpus. In contrast with the solitary lieutenant's clever entrapment of the wily culprit, QUINCY is outfitted with a full cast of supporting characters to express his benevolent philosophy and moral indignation; there is his faithful lab assistant, his frustrated romantic interest, his officious department head always counting his beans, a mule-headed police lieutenant always prosecuting the wrong suspect, and his open-eared bartender with mob connexions. Everybody is always angry at everybody; Larson seems to think anger is interesting and human, but like salt, more than a little spoils the wroth.

A story of conflict between a lone man of principle upholding right against rule-bound authorities, this attractive package of 3 jewel cases holding double-sided DVDs is targetted to every enraged victim of blind bureaucracy. Did Larson miss anybody?

4.0 out of 5 stars 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.
