Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
saculnamron I really don't remember the first time I saw Quincy. I only remember being enchanted by Jack Klugmans real and human portrayal of the Los Angeles county coroner. Quincy's questioning and thorough approach usually spells trouble especially for the long suffering Dr Aston ( John s Ragin) The thing I like about it is that Quincy isn't afraid to stand up and be counted on any issue and against overwhelming odds. Quincy has a warm almost innocent air about him. Holy mackeral he always battles to get what he is looking for and ususaly takes the bull by the horns. Helped by best friend Sam (Robert Ito)the friendship between the two is real warm and touching. The other thing I like is that some of the very serious issues dealt with in the series is balanced out with wonderful humour. It always ends up at Danny's (Val Bisoglio) for an engaging and humorous conclusion. Frank Monighan is played wonderfully by Garry Whalberg and though Quincy's thoroughness is a source of irritation he is always grateful to have Quincy on his side. Sometimes the colleagues have to help each other through personal tragedies such as the episode where Aston loses his much loved niece to alcholism. I cried at the end of that one not least because Aston and his wife are childless and looked on the girl as their own. Quincy as we see time and again although he deals with the real face of feath daily never quite gets used to it and you can see his real puzzlement and anger especially when it's needless. Watch any Quincy episode and you will see that it deals with serious issues in a warmhearted,sincere and real way that no other programme of the type seems to do.
dino_254 I miss those days when quincy was shown at TV here in Norway. The show was just pure magic. On one side Quincy was the relenteless detective/coroner who gave everything on the job. On the other side he also liked to shoot the breeze, drink, chase woman and have fun. That's what it is all about. The 70's were a dream considering TV series. Just think about cannon, Kojak and Quincy. JUST GREAT. Quincy is "old school, funny and a delight to watch. The style of the 70's seems so much more relaxed and cool compared to that of today.Recommended for everybody that's tired of all the crap shown to day. The 70's rule and Quincy is number one!
mm-39 A coroner who investigates. The police union must be mad. I liked the show as a kid, but as an adult I find the show far fetched. Some good episodes. The science is the interesting part. I think maybe this is where the show Crossing Jordan takes up. The medical examiner that does autopsies and investigates. Anyone remember the death touch episode? It's murder was a line in every second show. This is like that new show with is based in 3 different cities. The show went on 2 years too long. The networks never know when to end these series. 3/5. Worth watching a second time. A bit over the top! Sam was he on Star Trek? I wonder if they will make a remake comedy on this show? Sort of like CSI too.
ross robinson I like watching Quincy as it's on UK television (ITV1) it's on everyday (Monday - Friday) I started watching Quincy when i heard about it been on TV again, i watched it and got into it. I think it's a great programme, every episode is about someone dying and Quincy investigates by doing an Autopsy, to find out what was that person's cause of death. Some of the characters in this programme try to stop him but there is no stopping for Quincy for him to do an autopsy on the person who has died.
