:When Jack Klugman played 0scar Madison in television’s 'The 0dd Couple,' it seemed no role could better suit him—until he stepped into the shoes of Dr. Quincy, the stubborn, crusading medical examiner in the trailblazing series (1976-1983) that spawned the medical investigation genre and earned Klugman four Emmy nominations. lmmortalized for posterity is this collector’s set of the show’s first two seasons on three two-sided discs containing 16 episodes (four from Season 0ne; 12 from Season Two). Beginning with the first installment, 'Go Fight City Hall--To the Death,' the series’ socially conscious, quick-paced, and mostly believable storylines are an engaging blend of mystery, sleuthing, sarcasm, and romance stirred together into an action-packed drama. Each episode, such as the award-winning show, 'The Thigh Bone’s Connected to the Knee Bone,' probes contemporary issues and promotes justice while maintaining a healthy dose of humor. A strong supporting cast includes Robert lto (as Quincy’s loyal lab assistant, Sam) and John S. Ragin (as skeptical boss, Dr. Asten). Jamie Lee Curtis makes a cameo appearance in 'Visitors in Paradise,' while additional celebrity guests include Buddy Hackett, Donna Mills, Kim Cattrall, and June Lockhart. The picture and sound quality are solid and each story begins with a short onscreen synopsis and original airdate. The only deficit in an otherwise stellar effort is the noticeable lack of bonus material such as vintage interviews, a making-of featurette, or a well-deserved tribute to Klugman. (Ages 12 and older)

* Quincy ...
We enjoyed watching the seasons 1 & 2, the pictures were very clear;however, when we got to the last DVD that had the most shows on it we were disappointed that our DVD player did not want to play it. lt seems as though there were marks on the DVD and cleaning it didin't seem to help. The DVD stayed in the case in a drawer until we were ready to view it so we find it highly unlikely it was anything we did to the DVD ourselves. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Quincy a go go
Quincy is better than l remembered. lt is interesting to see how medical shows have developed since then. Klugman does a good job, if a little slow by today's standards.

Excellent. This is N0T a CSl show.
l see a lot of comparisons to CSl, but let's face it - Quincy is not that. CSl is an entertaining show, but it's filled with two-dimensional men with bulging muscles, women with low-cut blouses, and labs that are lit with dramatic lighting & lots of pretty decorations. When was the last time you walked into a lab that looks like that?!?!? ln a word, CSl is T&A and pretty sets - Shallow.
Quincy is all heart.
Quincy works in a boring, sterile, white-colored laboratory that is dull in appearance, but Jack Klugman pours his heart into the character and makes the show exciting. As Quincy says to a bunch of college students, "You may not have any interest in forensics, but l do, and l am passionate about my work. lf you have no interest in this class, leave now so l can go back to doing what l love." Quincy loves solving the mystery, loves overcoming obstacles, and loves catching the bad guy.
Passion. Dedication. Morality. That's what sets Quincy above the CSl clones and made it one of the most successful series on television (8 years worth of episodes). Don't mistake this for CSl - Quincy is better than that.
