I’ve never seen Quincy. Did Klugman play a liberal crusader? Was it always an obnoxious liberal theme of the week? Just curious.
Quincy was a crime-mystery type show with the lead character of Quincy (Klugman) being a medical examiner in Los Angeles. It actually wasn’t bad as a premise. The show included a lot of forensic science and had a few really good eps in the early seasons.
The problem with the show was, they couldn’t leave it alone. Like a lot of late 70s tv shows, Hollywood saw them as platforms for social justice. Thus, we star to have “Cause of the Week” stories. There was an entire episode about the “life” of a gun, and how it spread misery where every it goes, Quincy fighting “the system” over airline safety, etc. Quincy even had an episode where he - I kid you not - takes on the evils of punk rock!

So, yeah, it wasn’t a fave of mine.
