Yes, I would have loved to see Jack Klugman's Quincy on there but regardless, this was amazing! You could feel by the look on the faces of these legendary TV sleuths, that they had solved the case right there and then. Watching this makes me feel like I did something wrong and they figured it out. Thanks for posting this!

@OreckBoy1: Quincy was shown on A&E separately (that hourlong series was not part of the old NBC Mystery Movie series) when this bumper was being used.

@SeanElGatoTelevision The first half of the first season of Quincy was broadcast as 90-minute telefilms as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie rotation in the fall of 1976 alongside Columbo, McCloud and McMillan (formerly McMillan & Wife). The series proved popular enough that midway through the 1976–1977 season, Quincy was spun off into its own weekly one-hour series. The Mystery Movie format was discontinued in the spring of 1977; Quincy was the only one of the rotating series to continue.
