RIP, Mr. Klugman. I loved him on the TZ, especially the episode where he challenges Jonathan Winters to a game of pool (with very high stakes). I also really liked him on The Odd Couple and in 12 Angry Men. Quincy was okay. I enjoyed the science behind it, but I didn’t like it being the part of what I called “The Lou Grant Effect”. That is, many episodes were simply set pieces for the trendy cause d’jour. Still, even when the show was it its preachiest, Klugman was a fine actor and a class act.
One memorable Quincy (that is widely mocked today) alerted us to the dangers of punk rock.
