QME FAQ

nnnnnDanny’s is a local restaurant down at the Marina and boatyard, where Quincy spends much of his spare time. Like almost anyone, Quince loves food, drink, and conversation – lots of conversation! Fearing he may get his throat cut by the chef, Quincy might also hint the thing that makes Danny’s good, isn’t just the food, but Danny’s always delivers… Owner Danny Tovo is a gracious host, who does his best to accommodate his menu and friendly establishment to a large professional clientele, including the LAPD and the LA Office of Medical Examiners. Lately, Danny has been looking into the possibility of encouraging an online crowd to frequent his little dining haven, and soon you’ll be able to visit Danny’s restaurant from the comfort of your own computer chair! Look for “Danny’s on the Web” to premiere in the months ahead, right here at the online home of QME, The Quincy Examiner (http://www.quincyexaminer.com).nnnnn

Quincy’s primary place of residence is the Marina, aboard his 60′ classic staysail schooner sailboat. To most folks, this might very well be considered a yacht. But, Quince would be quick to point out, “…when you’re on the county payroll, you call it a boat, not a yacht!” Well, at least, up until the time he marries Dr. Emily Hanover, he is quite comfortable on this sea-fairing vessel. It is only during pre-marital jitters and at her insistence, that he reluctantly parts with his baby. In any case, once Quincy sells the boat he won’t have to worry about stowaways bunking themselves to ambush him when he comes home at night. [Hint: Remember the episodes “A Good Smack in the Mouth” and “Hit and Run at Danny’s?”]

2023 Update: For more info on the current whereabouts of the 60 foot schooner Universal used for the series, take a quick read about the yacht itself and its history prior to usage on the QME TV series, by clicking here.

nnnnnAll the cases the Office of Medical Examiners have worked on are done at LACC (short for, Los Angeles County Coroner’s). The LAPD Crime Lab is separate from but assists the Coroner’s department in determining the causes and conditions of death surrounding ongoing homicide investigations. If for any reason, you need to research some evidence obtained at a crime scene investigation, remember that LACC Security will require you to sign in at The Quincy Examiner Guestbook first.nnnnn

After a close inspection of Google mapping, we believe the best guess for exterior Danny’s shots might now be the Tony P’s located in Marina Del Rey. Interior shots of the restaurant were done on Stage 25 at Universal/MCA back lots according to a chief source who was a production gripper at the time.

For info and comparison shots, see the photos above. Note, this appears to be confirmed by what IMDB is reporting online as well. If you go, be sure to read the food reviews and send us a photo with your smartphone!
