TV listing
A Coroner with the odd comic mishap along the way
Quincy .................. Jack Klugman
Quincy's Chinese chum ........ Sid Reasonable
Quincy's Bad-tempered Boss .... Hubert Angry
Whoever wrote that TV listing should know that Sam (not "Sid") is meant to be Japanese American and that the names for Sam and his boss (Dr. Astin) are wrong.

Saturnus - this was a 'spoof-TV listing' on the make-up of the show, I don't know if you're American, but it was taken from a satirical puppet show called here in the UK 'Spitting Image' of caricatured famous people. This 'listing' actually came from Spitting Image's companion published satirical book.
shareCanadian. With that update you have given, I recognize the Sid Vicious reference but not the "Hubert Angry" reference.

Hi Saturnus, yes, sorry for even mentioning you may be American. I should have asked 'where' you were from. It's probably more 'Anglicised' humour with the reference to 'Sid Reasonable'. Greetings to you, Happy New Year to you, there, in Canada!
