Quincy, M.E.: Season 7

Welcome to QUINCY, M.E., one of the most enjoyable and influential television shows in the history of television. This is the story of Dr. Quincy -- no first name ever given! -- a crusty, hot-tempered, do-gooding Los Angeles County medical examiner (Jack Klugman) who uses forensic science to unravel mysteries which leave his cop friends Lieutenant Monohan (Garry Walberg) and Sergeant Brill (Joe Roman), and his paper-pushing fop of a boss, Dr. Asten (John S. Ragin) scratching their respective heads. Of course when Quincy is not solving murder mysteries he is taking up a lance for every public-spirited cause you can possibly think of, from child abuse to teenage drug use to illegal immigration to punk rock music and beyond. Can't fight City Hall? Quincy treats City Hall like a rock-'em-sock-'em robot!Of course, in so doing, he aggravates absolutely everyone, from murderers, who try to kill him, to big corporations, who try to muzzle him, to his girlfriends (he has thousands), who try to leave him, to his long-suffering assistant Sam Fujiyama (Robert Ito) and best friend Danny Tovo (Val Bisoglio) who just try to put up with him. Half the fun of QUINCY is seeing the enraged or baffled expressions of everyone who crosses his path. Imagine a fiery liberal muckraker with a medical degree and a nose (a BIG nose) for mysteries and a taste for the ladies, and you've got this show in a nutshell.It's true that QUINCY's seventh season takes its sweet time getting going, but when it does, all systems are go and we get all the classic things we expect from this show -- "causes," Quincy fighting with everyone, the usual horseplay between Q. his frenemies. Here are some of the more memorable episodes:The Golden Hour - Quincy investigates (as only Quincy can) why a girl with minor injuries from a car wreck died at one hospital, while her father, who was severely hurt, managed to survive at another.D.U.I - A "routine" D.U.I. fatality case turns tricky when Quincy begins to suspect the guilty party is guilty of much more than accidental homicide.Dead Stop - Quincy races against time to find out where truckers have been dumping huge loads of toxic waste.Bitter Pill - One of the season's best puts Quincy against the "lookalike" drug industry.Guns Don't Die - A unique POV story which follows the trail of havoc left by a single "Saturday night special" handgun.Smoke Screen - Quincy tangles with a pyromaniac who may -- or may not -- have been responsible for a hotel fire that killed a dozen people.Into the Murdering Mind - A young man with murderous habits exploits loopholes in the legal system to ply his deadly trade. Probably the closest episode QUINCY ever produced to a pure "horror" episode.To Clear the Air - After several people with pre-existing lung conditions drop dead during a smog alert, Quincy goes to war with a local plant which is spewing illegal pollution.As I said before, the penultimate season of QUINCY takes a bit of a while to kick into gear, but in the end it delivers the goods. What this show was really about, between the "causes" and the standard mystery stories, was simply pointing Jack Klugman at the camera and letting him rip.

I love this show and I am happy to have these DVD's in my collection. It arrived in the stated time frame with no issues. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Liked the show. Excellent stories

I was real happy to see the continuation of the release of this series. I saw an article which showed a letter that a fan had received from Shout which said that they have also put the last release on their schedule for early 2015. It is a fun show to watch with a great cast. The price is good for a new release, but I usually wait a while because I have noticed that they usually go down to about $25 after a while. What a deal!Edit to add-I just purchased because it released today for $29.99.

Great tv shows

My mom loved this series so I ordered them all .. but now shes hone so I will treasure these now

Best t.v. series ever put on television. Most have a social issue plot which makes them so endearing. Jack Klugman is great in the role of Quincy with a cast of regulars which make the program a must to watch. Excellent quality!

I skipped a couple of episodes, including a two-parter on a sea cruise and one with Quincy in the navy. The rest of the episodes were well done and thought provoking, as usual. Later, I went back and watched the navy episode. I was surprised it was a comedy, and that it was funny. Maybe someday I'll watch Slow Boat to Madness...

I have only watched the episode The Unquiet Grave so far, with the fine actress Ina Balin starring as Quincy's psychotic ex-girlfriend who has murdered her husband. But I have seen enough. Shout Factory brings out all the quality of a great sounding and viewing disc. No features, but Quincy is at his hollering and excitable best, just as he did as Oscar Madison in The Odd Couple. Jack Klugman is funny and entertaining. The best and I will be getting the rest of the seasons as well. You will enjoy it!

Love the show. Klugman was excellent as Quincy. Disc worked well. So nice having it on DVD.

Excellent show. As good as what is on TV today, I got the entire series and loved every episode. Just wish it came in a Box Set.
