Quincy TV series started when I was 13 years old, and I thought it was an amazing and great show. I understood why Quincy was upset that nobody ever saw the wisdom of his words until he could prove it with science. Nobody ever listened to Quincy, and so he was usually angry. The stories were usually pretty good too. Most of the time, they used interesting ideas and science information that was cutting edge back in the 1970s.
Forty years later, I have tried to enjoy Quincy like I did when I was young, and I find that he is usually too harsh. His abrasive personality is mean to many of the people that support him the most. Additionally, Quincy has no respect for anyone at his Medical Examiner's Office.
Now when I watch this show, most of the time I am counting all the reasons that Quincy should get terminated from his position during each episode. Quincy violates various standing rules of his Medical Examiner's Office; he regularly violates direct orders from his boss, Dr. Astin (played by John S. Ragin), and sometimes he breaks the law too. In the real world, Quincy would be getting terminated in almost every episode of his show.
However, I will always remember Quincy fondly, because he has good intentions, and tries to do the right thing. Back when I was a kid, I thought that yelling at your boss every day was pretty cool. Quincy did everything "his way," and that was alright by me.
