A CHRISTMAS EVE TOAST TO THE LATE JACK KLUGMAN

12/24/2012 | 1 Comment

Jack Klugman with a beautiful lady on QUINCY, M.E.

It's Christmas Eve, and not entirely merry... A great actor has passed away.

JACK KLUGMAN is best known as the sloppy Oscar Madison from the TV series THE ODD COUPLE polar opposite Tony Randall.

He starred in several classic TWILIGHT ZONE episodes including (and especially) A GAME OF POOL with Jonathan Winters and on the big screen he sat on the jury of 12 ANGRY MEN.

But today our memoriam will center on the crime series QUINCY, M.E. where Klugman chews scenery as the title character, a coroner who fights crimes.

REST IN PEACE THE LATE GREAT JACK KLUGMAN

Quincy, the great forerunner of C.S.I. - I freaking LOVED Quincy. One of my favorite all-timers. Jack Klugman was awesome. I liked the Odd Couple well enough, but Quincy was the show!

RIP Jack.
