How this season is filed

Filed by Vivian Cross · The Carpet Report

Jack Klugman yells at the morgue until the district attorney blinks. Quincy treats the coroner as crusader, not lab furniture, years before forensic gloss became a weekly look. Issue-of-the-week fury, autopsy as argument, and a star who took bureaucracy as a personal insult.
