It started out being a murder mystery show, but it evolved into a social-commentary show with Quincy taking on the Important Social Issue or Public Health Hazard of the Week and making big preachy speeches about how things had to change. I mean, I generally agreed with its point of view, and Jack Klugman giving an impassioned monologue was always entertaining, but it could've stood to be less sledgehammery. I often wished it would dial back some on the Very Special Episodes and throw in a few non-controversial murder mysteries now and then for variety's sake.
