Grew up watching Quincy in reruns with my Granny.
As a teenager, and to this day, think The Odd Couple is an awesome show.
Hold '12 Angry Men' on the same level of 'For A Few Dollars More' and the old Jidai Geki Kurosawa movies as unsurpassed awesome.

KLUGMAN WAS KING! to quote the aforementioned Zorak.

That's you in that picture, isn't it?

/R.I.P. likeable actor guy

Odd Couple Jack or cancer kazoo Jack? 'Cause both were pretty funny.

Loved that show as a kid. And Quincy, but OC was great. Then I saw the movie. Much better.

DanInKansas: "It was MURDER, Sam!!!"

Pretty sure that line was in every episode of Quincy.

Wanted for questioning.

Didn't pic him to die this year, not a big point winner..come on Lindsey! (RIP)

Season 8 Episode 18: Quincy's Wedding

This episode brings two substantial changes to the show. First of all, Quincy marries Emily finally, which means that Quincy is married for the first time in the show, though we know he was already married in the past. The second change is maybe even more remarkable: Quincy sells his beloved boat, his home at least since the beginning of the show almost seven years ago! From now on to the end of the show, he lives with Emily in the apartment in which she lived alone before. It turns out that Quincy is slovenly and easygoing while Emily is neurotic, a neat freak and uptight.

Despite Quincy's problems - careless spending, excessive gambling, a poorly kept house filled with spoiled food - he seems to enjoy life. Emily, however, seems utterly incapable of enjoying anything and only finds purpose in pointing out her own and other people's mistakes and foibles. Even when she tries to do so in a gentle and constructive way, her corrections and suggestions prove extremely annoying to those around her. Quincy feels compelled to throw her out after only a brief time together, though he quickly realizes that Emily has had a positive effect on him. chop her body into thousands of little pieces, buy back his boat, and sail to Mexico to a little fishing village where he lived in harmony with Juanita, the town slut.

FTFY

I forgot about that part and Quincy's dark passenger.

Um,

I liked the episode where Quincy got called for jury duty.

/Jack dies on the same day Christmas Island was discovered, coincidence?

netringer: pool

An eternity of playing pool against every schmuck who thinks he's the best. That's hell. He just had to go and beat Jonathan Winters. Shame.

/RIP Jack.

Completely did not remember this. This still makes me philosophical sometimes.

Wow Dr. Quincy I never thought I'd see you on the slab.

I'd hate to be the guy who does the TCM memorial summary every year. They complete it in the middle of December, and some media star always kicks the bucket before then and the end of the year.

RIP funny man, thanks for all the lulz.

Oddly, both wives were played by the same actress, Anita Gillette. She had portrayed the late Helen Quincy in flashback scenes in the episode, "Promises to Keep", before being hired on as Quincy's girlfriend-cum-wife, Dr. Emily Hanover.  Between that and his insistence on living with hyper-critical neat-freaks, Quincy had a clearly defined "type".

W.C.fields forever: AdolfOliverPanties: Saw him at Santa Anita many times. Loved the ponies. Fix the headline and this can go green, I would think.

I saw him at Del Mar,back in the early 90's
He was eating a bag of potato chips.True story.

You guys are so lucky.

Somebody finally beat him

Well done

RIP
No more pits, in my juice!

"Huh, I look like Jack Klugman.

I was just reading the "Quincy, M.E." wiki article and three things stood out to me: Emily also played his dead wife (in a flashback before she was cast as Emily).  Although Sam is mentioned in the article numerous times, he is not listed in the cast section.  Compared to a lot of good, older shows' pages, the page is a disjointed mess.

I seriously thought he passed away back in the 1980's.

Amazing he made it to 90.

RIP

RIP Quince Jelly

Let me introduce you to my friend, Mr. Hyper Boley. You have to watch him, he'll tell you things like "red shirts always die in Star Trek," even though EVERYONE knows that they only get killed in about 15 episodes.

According to this nerd's analysis, Red Shirts were 73% of on-screen TOS deaths.  But, I only know that because your friend writes TV Tropes & Idioms.

Whatsamatta you? Allda time wise guy


If you had the option to great an old friend in Heaven, why wouldn't you do it in character? "Confidentury. I was way off"

I could totally see Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp(sp?) as Freddy and Nancy in the afterlife.

netringer: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES HERE!!!!!

Now does Jack get to be the best pool player there ever was?

One of the best, and I think under appreciated, Twilight Zone episodes. Klugman and Johnathan Winters, how can you lose?

There can be only one, B*TCHES!

OtherLittleGuy: We'll see him again in Sandusky, OH.

/Ridiculous!

Poor bastard. I've shot a few games at Mason's in Sandusky- the one mentioned in the episode- and if he's stuck playing in that shiathole, that's hell.

Rest well, sir. You'll be missed.

/ When I'm drunk, Baron.

Cut to Sam pissing on Quincy's grave saying "This is for every time your cockblocking ass screwed up my date because YOU wanted to redo an autopsy at 1:00 in the morning."

R.I.P. QUINCY, M.E

there was once a time when doctors made house calls. and they didn't make you put up a 2nd mortgage on the house to pay them for the visit.

"We're all out of cornflakes. F.U."

Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!

RIP Oscar. You will be missed.

It's sad that he's gone, but he was 90 - that's a nice long life and he enjoyed a lot of success.

Who did he marry after Brett died?
