Jack Klugman was perfect as Dr Quincy, who was a great medical examiner; and Quincy ME was a better forensic medicine show than the CSI shows which seem to concentrate too much on gore. I wish the show about the man who tried to get away with murder by pretending to be “just” a drunk driver had been as successful for legislation as the show on orphan drugs apparently was. Then and now and during all the years in-between, whenever people have talked about the lack of consequences for drunk drivers, even those who kill, I agree and use that episode to point out how nothing much has changed even though it has been decades. As I am writing about it, I find myself surprised that now that there actually ARE prosecutors recently trying to remedy this situation, none of the current CSI/NCIS shows have done a similar episode!

As a fan of Mr. Klugman’s and a follower of this legal “stuff,” I would say that NBC, in the words of Jay Leno means: “Never Believe your Contract.” What a joke. The show has been in syndication for years and is available on DVD. I would say that the show has profited from multiple, multiple runs on many different networks, affiliated stations again, on DVD/Home Video. This is a fate accompli and a huge conglomerate taking advantage of an elderly man in my opinion.

NBC is one of the most crooked organizations in the entertainment industry. The court system should make an example out of them! They should award Jack Klugman an amount equal to the gross profit of the show to date.
