What would Quincy be crusading against in 2013?

Don't forget ecstasy, meth and teen pregnancy reality shows!

Quincy ideas for 2013
by Rigor

1) Monahan gets his own spin off - where he constantly denies that an actual crime has been committed and eventually changes his mind at the end of the episode
but we never see the person being arrested or sentenced

2) a lot of Quincy episodes were solved by the forensics at the time. an episode where one of Quincy's cases in the earlier series was wrong based on actual dna analysis disqualifying Quincy's blood type and skin fragment pattern matching

3) something Nasa themed - six million dollar man had skylab episodes, skylab was very popular, so why not make a quincy episode about it

4) a final episode where Sam gets promoted to Medical Examiner, Quincy takes Astin's job, Astin retires

5) we never had an AIDS episode. the closest we got was "small circle of friends"

6) Quincy gets pulled over driving under the influence at Danny's.In S07 E05 we learned that .03 is a negligible amount and you are cold sober. a .21 is based on someone who has had 6 or 7 drinks and you are smashed. in hit and run at danny's we learn that 0.1 is borderline and can go either way. and quincy finds out his knowledge of blood alcohol levels is behind the times

7) Oxycodone was mentioned in an episode. a revised Oxycodone episode should be made to make it more of an important issue

8) being locked in refrigerators and training people to do cpr, " a very special Quincy ". Worked for Punky Brewster!

9) *** SPOILER ALERT *** - the whole Dr Emily Hanover / Helen Quincy mystery is finally revealed. Quincy's wife Helen Quincy who died in a flash back in season 4 is finally revealed to be an OSI agent working for Oscar Goldman / Doctor Rudy Wells. she was planted there by Doctor Astin to find out what was going on with missing office supplies, and some allegedly missing funds from the coffee kitty

So funny original poster!! I would actually enjoy seeing those episodes!!!

A 17 year-old youth addicted to PlayStation stays up all night playing Resident Evil before driving to school. On the way he falls asleep and dies after driving over the edge of a cliff. Everyone at the Coroner's Office (including Quincy) is ready to write off the death as a simple accident after Quincy and Sam find nothing untoward at the autopsy. Despite receiving a set of photographs from Ed (whose only line is 'Here are those pictures you wanted, Quince'), Quincy (as per usual) can't figure out how a young guy who never drank or took drugs could die so simply and refuses to release the body until he has personally visited the boy's family at their home, visited his school and spoken to the principal, his teachers and all of his friends before finding out the truth about his video game addiction.
Quincy contacts an attractive female addiction expert with the help of Monahan and (after Quincy tells her he wishes he was addicted to her) discovers that driving after sleep deprivation has the same effect as driving while intoxicated. Quincy arrives unannounced at the local District Attorney's hotel while he is vacationing in Acapulco to ask why nothing is done about testing for tired drivers and, after a heated exchange, is told that nothing can be done and that his 'hands are tied'.
Asten, meanwhile, has been questioning Sam (who has been covering for Quincy during his absence) and tells him that the dead boy's uncle is a member of the Funds Appropriation Committee and has threatened to withhold the allocation for the next budget if his body is not released for burial forthwith.
Quincy returns to the lab wearing a new zip-up cardigan with elbow patches and, after a heated argument with Asten about preventing more young lives from being lost, receives a phone call from the addiction expert asking Quincy if he would like to fly to Washington to appear before a Congressional Committee to discuss the effects of computer games on young people and to tell him he is 'kinda cute' and maybe they can have dinner together 'when all this blows over'. Quincy reads an impassioned speech from the wall behind the ageing committee members and they immediately decide to propose sweeping laws that will be introduced immediately.
Quincy returns to Danny's to meet with Asten, Sam, Ed, Monahan and Brill (who all happen to be off-duty) and, after sampling some of the food that is on the table, asks where Danny is. Monahan tells Quincy to look in the corner and Quincy finds Danny playing a stand-up version of 'Space Invaders'. Quincy asks Danny if he realises how damaging this could be for his health and that he could lose his license but Danny reveals he has his pyjamas on under his suit and that he was on his way to bed!

In late 2014 it would have been all about Ebola. Fear. Panic. Lots of protective clothing. Quincy manages to calm everyone down and get the job done.

In early 2015, they probably would have forced a measles episode, because, you know, topical, even though no on in the US (as of this posting) has died of measles, at least according to the CDC.

I've got nothing to add here other than to say the posts here are some of the best I've read on any board for any show. nice job.

The episode Main Man touched on concussions, which the episode treated as a pretty pedestrian injury, but by today's standards - especially with the controversy surrounding the NFL and its players - it's pretty well understood that concussions / brain contusions are no banal injury. So I'd bet any modern-day Quincy would touch on that sporting injury.

With the recent 5000% price rise on the drug Daraprim, our good Dr. Quincy would no doubt tear the pharmaceutical companies a new one.
