    Has anybody seen this show? My mother ordered the first season, we saw the first episode last night and it's great, a coroner solving murders 30 years before CSI does it, and I'm more for the idea of less is more as Quincy couldn't show the bodies he was cutting up, he could only describe them.

    I haven't seen it. It was on during my baby/toddler years, but I don't recall it ever airing syndicated reruns in Michigan.

    LOL, wow - you're sure right about that! My wife has Bones on in the background and the things they show there! My how the times have changed. Lt. Monahan was also his poker buddy Speed on The Odd Couple.

    We finally got around to ordering the 3rd season, we saw the first episode of the 3rd season tonight, and it reminded me why I prefer these older crime shows to the new ones. I like Law and Order, but I love these older shows because this was back when the good guys always won...this was a case to end all cases, Quincy finds a friend beaten outside his boat, drives him to the hospital, he dies, he does the autopsy, sends the samples to the toxicology lab, EVERYTHING disappears: the samples disappear, the report disappears, the BODY disappears, and it's a big conspiracy that everything is rearranged, kind of like in Capricorn One when the reporter tries to find out what happened to one of the scientists who worked on the shuttle launch.

    And if this was Law and Order it would be totally shut down, nobody would ever find out what happened, nobody would be the wiser, he gets the whole story and sells it to a reporter who will put it in the next day's newspaper, and even though they never show it I trust that article had a longer run than on Kolchak when he actually talked Vincenzo into printing the story about the Night Strangler, which got yanked after about 30 copies were off the press.

    This is who he was married to until she died in 2007. Although they were seperated for years.

    I'm not saying it couldn't have been someone he was dating at the time. Brett Summers also played his ex-wife on The Odd Couple Show.
