Movie Reviews of Quincy, M.E. - Seasons 1 & 2
Movie Review: More Seasons Please
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased this after missing getting them on VHS many years ago. They came and went just like other Universal releases ("Rich Man, Poor Man" comes to mind).
I'm almost finished watching the second season and I think the digital transfer is great considering what I've seen in reruns. This is one series I'd love to get all of the episodes. What we've seen on A&E and Hallmark Channels are very poor hatchet jobs. At least I've finally gotten to see the pilot episode in its entirety. On cable, it is cut down to one hour including commercials and you miss the part where the cops faint as well as other critical sequences.
It would be nice if Universal didn't have to put their updated logo at the beginning of each episode. It's already at the beginning of each disc. I'd prefer if they just left in the original one at the end of each episode. A minor inconvenience, but this is overkill.
This is one great series that deserves to be released in its entirety.
Movie Review: Larson's Best Series
Summary: 5 Stars
It is quite easy to attack Glen "Grand Larceny" Larson for his many rip-off series--"Alias Butch & Sundance", "Battlestar Death Star", and "Buck Rogers" to name a few. However, with "Quincy, M.E.", Mr. Larson struck gold--a solid series with a wonderfully powerful character who could move a viewer from smiles to tears to anger within seconds. The stories are still impressive after twenty years and the problems addressed still vitally important today. One nice point of this collection is that the mini-movies of the first season are rarely shown when cable/satellite channels, like Hallmark or A&E, present the series. These were the stories that built the character and allowed Klugman to find a role that fit him to a T. Good stories, good direction, and Mr. Klugman makes this a real winner. Hey, Universal, don't forget to bring out the later seasons!Movie Review: I want ALL the SEASONS !
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always loved Quincy and thought that Jack Klugman was superbe!
His talent sparkles the screen as he KNOWS how to get us on the edge of our seat! This show though in the 76'is more actual THESE RECENT years because each episodes is fully accurate and as the other seasons unfold,
problems never really approached in these years such as guns around the house loaded, drugs,rape,child abuse just to name a few are masterfully depicted to the viewer in a decent way so he gets informed and awared.
Not putting the rest of the series IS A REAL SHAME!
So I hope ONE PEOPLE IN THE DVD SERIES manufactured business, WILL EVENTUALLY and I HOPE VERY SOON LISTEN AND do something about it so we will all be satisfied!
I was feeling great to be among all the wonderful comments ...I've read them all and thought you were all GREAT !
Movie Review: You'd never think this guy was Oscar Madison---
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a Jack Klugman fan! I own the complete Odd Couple series on DVD as it indeed was THE best sitcom ever.
For someone who has not seen a Quincy episode, you're missing Mr. Klugman at his finest. This is not Oscar Madison playing a coroner. No typecasting here! This series set the stage for shows like Diagnosis Murder and even Murder, She Wrote.
The DVD quality is very good in both the sound and video areas. They are double sided though so you have to look closely at the disc to see which one you're looking at.
My one negative though is that I jumped so quickly at buying this that I didn't realize the entire series (all seasons) is available in one package. If you're a fan already, look for that instead of just this season 1 & 2 package.
Movie Review: Was Quincy really the first Forensic Crime Drama?
Summary: 5 Stars
Was Quincy really the first Forensic Crime Drama?
by The Quincy Examiner
You better believe it, folks! Quincy M.E. was originally part of a rotation series that network NBC television had added to its weekly Mystery Movie Series. Later, due to the popularity of the ratings and the high quality of emotional drama and on-screen acting, the series was spun off and developed into a full network series which ran for seven years from 1976 through 1983.
