Then again, by simply doing nothing, Alda is letting Q pick apart the DA's case. I'm not baffled as much by the DA's protests as I am the lack of any input from Alda at this point. I have to ask-why not? Quincy is asking questions that the defense attorney should be asking. Quincy even makes Columbo look like a moron "No more questions based on your special knowledge, Dr. Groom is getting nervous, and despite her crush the Judge admonishes the Klug Man. Morris, who admits he doesn't know how long it took to get the evidence to the lab. Once we're back in court, Quincy questions the coroner on the stand, Dr. I'm thinking this courtroom has to be more cursed than Asten's enticing case at this point. There's only time for a quick lunch at Danny's before Q is due back in court, during which we hear about another juror being excused. "As the star, I insist on the remainder of this trial's questions, your Honor!" (I wonder if anyone from O.J.'s Dream Team was aware of this episode?) Quincy's most pointed question implies that the evidence may have been contaminated by the many bystanders. Alda successfully points up the man's inexperience with homicides (three) while Quincy keeps asking questions. THIS toupee? A minus-2 on the Raymond Bailey scale.īut he's no more competent than our beloved LAPD answer to Hamilton Burger, and his toupee actually makes Alda's hairstyle choice look downright spiffy! The cop notes two large scratches on the suspect's left cheek, and taking the man into custody within an hour. Jack Klugman isn't surrounded by any angry men this time, but we are down one alternate (flu). Alternate Quincy asks plenty of questions while the chosen twelve sit there like lumps.
Quincy me trivia did quincy have a car of his own update#
Sam tells us he's at 36 hours and holding, and after an office pool update its back to the courtroom. Sounds like our Casanova Coroner has a shot! Then again, in the Quincyverse, does he ever NOT have a chance at a little hey hey? Damn, the guy really wants to stay on jury duty! Anything to get away from Astin and the dead bodies? Also of note is judge Darling's fierce defense of the coroner, who she "knows" to be honest. Robert Alda's combover: a 6.5 on the Zero Mostel scaleĭespite the potential contamination of juror Quincy, the Big Q insists it won't affect his judgement. Way to enhance the public perception of your profession there, guys! Naturally, while a man's life hangs in the balance, our lawyers (Groom and Robert Alda, sporting a really bad combover) have a far greater concern, whether or not Quincy's actions will prejudice the potential juror. Who says I'm not doing my part for the boys at the morgue? Is D.A. Groom a murderer now? Or at least an involuntary manslaughterer? The judge quickly clears the jury, but Quincy remains, working to save the life of the stricken father and reduce Sam's workload by one. Granted, he did chase after her, but she was with him willingly on the drive out, and unless he raped her at the base of a cliff while they were both clothed, I think two of Groom's florid accusations are going to be pretty hard to prove. In court, prosecutor Sam Groom lays it out, calling boyfriend Frank Munson a stalker, rapist and murderer in quick succession. Quince is so determined to get away from the corpses for a few days that he's there despite being only a third alternate. "C'mon Quincy, I'm serious! Could you please work at least 2 days this week?"

While we all start wondering just how many vacation days Quincy gets in a year (I'd put the over/under at 212) the action takes us to the courthouse. Astin reminds him of the hardship they'll be under at the morgue, but Hell, the Big Q spends enough time away from the office trying to push legislation and do Monahan's job for him, so what's a few days in court Doc? Astin can't even entice Q to avoid his civic duty with a curse of a case. charge for an overdue book, but excited to be accepted for jury duty.

A phone scam from pre-Internet days? He's even more perturbed about a $48. Quincy is livid about being billed for a call to Nigeria. The proposer chases her to the edge of a cliff, grabs her.and we dissolve to Quincy's office. She bolts from the car and declares she never wants to see him again (I take that as a "no" to the proposal, Bud). Based on what ensues, the Rev has a point: she definitely comes across as too immature for it. Arguing? The feather-haired guy is dating the "precious daughter" (his words) of the Reverend, who apparently doesn't want her married yet. A young couple, parked on a balmy night under the stars, arguing. JURY DUTY opens with a car coming to a stop in a secluded area on a dirt road. Special Guest Stars Joan Darling, Robert Alda, Sam Groom, Morgan Stevens, Joe Maross. Ragin, Val Bisoglio, Garry Walberg, Joseph Roman. Starring Jack Klugman, Robert Ito, John S. Number 5 - "Jury Duty" (1981 NBC-TV/Universal)
