    	And A&E has also added "Quincy" to their line-up ... at 6PM
    	in the Boston area, taking the place of "Police Story".

	A&E showed a "Quincy" marathon on Memorial Day [Monday], so I watched most of it. Some good stuff, but the central idea seemed to be "illness that turns into an epidemic" for most of the episodes, be it a boat or a vacation resort that everybody was staying on/at.

	Haven't seen this show in decades. But, since my computer's TV seems permanently tuned to A&E, I've had the opportunity to watch a few episodes. I really had forgotten how much this show was a "Disease of the Week" pulpit for Klugman's character. Every week, we find out about some uncaring jerk, politician, public policy, or lack of legislation that puts someone on Quincy's table. What follows is 1/2 hour of impassioned monologues by Klugman, usually followed by his prescription for some Swell New Law that'll just fix everything.

	Those shows were from the later part of the series. In the beginning, the show was more of a mystery series. ed
