Introduction
The **Quincy Examiner Wiki and website** represent a long-standing, community-centered tribute to *Quincy, M.E.*, the socially-conscious medical drama that aired from 1976 to 1983. Established on **October 3, 1996**, the site has remained continuously active for nearly three decades, thanks to the shared efforts of fans, contributors, and supporters from around the world.
A Collective Vision
What began as an episode guide has evolved into a multi-layered archive — a space where critical thinking, nostalgia, and public health awareness converge. At its heart, the Quincy Examiner project operates on the belief that good television drama, especially one as forward-thinking as *Quincy, M.E.*, deserves to be remembered, studied, and shared.
From the earliest entries to its most recent additions, this project has been powered not by any one person, but by a **collaborative network of Quincy enthusiasts** who donate, comment, write, share, and fact-check. Together, they’ve preserved more than just a television series — they’ve sustained a legacy of civic-minded storytelling.
What We’ve Built Together
Over the years, the Quincy community has contributed to an ever-expanding catalog that includes:
- **Season-by-season episode synopses**, with thoughtful editorial commentary
- **Character biographies**, guest star credits, and trivia entries
- **Behind-the-scenes scans** of press kits, newspaper articles, and production stills
- Reflections on the show’s impact on topics like public health, elder care, women’s rights, and medical ethics
- First-person fan stories, including set visits, letters from crew members, and childhood memories of watching Quincy with family
Each submission, citation, and memory has helped shape this digital archive into a richer, more dynamic place for fans old and new.
While the project maintains consistent editorial guidance, the tone and direction of the wiki have been shaped collectively by contributors across forums, email threads, social media channels, and the main site. Updates often come from:
- Fans who spot a rare episode variant or location shoot
- Researchers who dig up forgotten interviews or publications
- Viewers who contribute insights about medical topics and legal episodes
- Social media followers who submit screenshots, quotes, or media clips
This truly is a **shared act of digital preservation**. The strength of the Quincy Examiner project lies in the community that surrounds it — thoughtful, loyal, engaged, and always curious.

A Wiki in Motion
The Quincy Wiki is not a static museum — it’s a living, evolving space. Every episode rewatch, every fan memory, and every fresh discovery helps update the record. Pages are revised not by decree, but through respectful collaboration and crowdsourced attention to detail.
Editorial standards are in place to keep things coherent and consistent, but the heartbeat of the wiki is — and always will be — the fans who show up to contribute, connect, or even just read and remember.
What makes this project endure isn’t just the subject matter — it’s the collective recognition that *Quincy, M.E.* matters. The show’s commitment to moral clarity, social justice, and medical truth-telling continues to inspire. And the Examiner community ensures that those themes aren’t forgotten.
Together, fans have preserved:
- The cultural significance of episodes like “Seldom Silent, Never Heard,” “Give Me Your Weak,” and “Let Me Light the Way”
- The pioneering influence of Jack Klugman and the show's writers in public health policy
- The underappreciated realism of 1970s television production
- The emotional and ethical core of a character who refused to stay silent in the face of injustice
