Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaQuincy's first name was never revealed during the series. However, in one episode, one of his business cards was briefly seen and read "Dr. R. Quincy."
- GoofsIn the typical opening title sequence, near the end of the credits, there is a scene showing Quincy walking along talking his friend on the beach with people (extras) throwing a football in the background. As the ball is thrown toward the camera it passes off the screen to the left. Moments later a woman with a pink top and blue skirt stumbles into frame grasping her face and eyes. Her companions rush to her aid as she tries to brush sand or grit from her face. She is in obvious distress as is see by everyone's actions toward her, all except Quincy who obliviously walks on toward the camera continuing the scene. This was kept in the opening credits which is odd given that it is made up of snippets.
- Alternate versionsMany of the episodes that aired as part of the "NBC Mystery Movie" were edited down from 88 minutes in length to roughly 44 minutes in length when the show went into reruns in syndication.
- ConnectionsEdited into The NBC Mystery Movie (1971)
Featured review
The laws of 'Quincy'
1. No more than 5 minutes shall pass before Quincy yells 'Dammit!'
2. At least once an episode, Sam (Quincy's Asiatic sidekick) has to say 'I don't like it Quince'
3. Every woman, even if they are young enough to be his granddaughters, has to find Quincy unbearably attractive
4. No cop is allowed to point out that he is a pathologist, and investigating crimes is way outside the limits of his job
5. There shall never be a suprising death
6. Quincy's boss always has to object to his investigation at first, be won slowly round, and then appear, supporting, in the final denouncement
7. Not one person is allowed to point out that there are probably bodies rotting in the aisles, considering the amount of time he spends investigating just the one death
God I love this show......
