Videos: Clips from Quincy's "punk episode" making the rounds

Contributed by aubin. Posted by adam on Sunday, September 21, 2008 at 11:00 AM (EDT)

It's Sunday morning and I'm not trying very hard so here's something fun that's making the rounds in the blogosphere.

Boing Boing and Laughing Squid recently put the spotlight on the notorious "punk episode" of 70s forensic medical drama Quincy. The episode, titled "Next Stop, Nowhere" first aired in December of 1982 and features Jack Klugman trying to save a girl lured into the sordid and violent punk underground. Given the amount of eyeliner kids are wearing these days, the amount of face paint on display here is less funny than it should be.

Click below for a few clips.

d00d fotball isnt punx

DreeeamWeaver (September 21, 2008)

Football is too punx.

Tell me that watching a hook-and-ladder play unfold isn't SOMEWHAT reminiscent of a circle pit.

More punx than the WNBA and bass fishing, anyway.

BlackRonin (September 21, 2008)

My turds are more punk than any of that shit.

This is where I'd normally say "Fuck you! Go Lions!", but who am I kidding. They are so awful. Every week is like watching a train wreck. Yet, I still watch. Why!? God, why do all of my favorite teams suck so bad (not counting the Red Wings, who do the opposite of suck).

Well, I'm off to find some people to watch football with.

I'm sorry, i can't hear you over the sound of how awesome the Titans are.

Jock O Rama! Save my soul! Under the thumb of the Beef Patrol! The future of America is in their hands! Watch it roll over Niagra Falls!

Sports is the Opiate of the masses.. too shallow for even religion!! Its culture for people too boring for the arts and too dumb for the sciences. Sports and its cult has made more lives miserable than emo,cocaine and predatory lending have combined. FUCK SPORTS!

freesandwich (September 21, 2008)

i'd say that's ample warning that if you're the type of person who asks why something is posted on this website, you probably shouldn't read the following.

dlangl4 (September 21, 2008)

Don't complain. I hadn't seen this yet.

jacknife737 (September 21, 2008)

This was fun, lighten up.

MisFit4Me (September 21, 2008)

This seems like an accurate portrayal of punk in the 80s.

Why would anyone listen to music that makes you hate?

dlangl4 (September 21, 2008)

The hate comes before. They find the music after, and then the parents blame it on the music.

dlangl4 (September 21, 2008)

I got to know what happens next. Did they find the girl? Was she okay?

letthebeatdrop (September 21, 2008)

i love punk.

TEF (September 21, 2008)

Did anyone else notice that the stage banner said 'Mayhem'? How much funnier would this episode have been if they had gotten the actual Mayhem and some of their real fans in on it?

BlackRonin (September 21, 2008)

It would take the edge off of punk and show how truly banal,joyless and one dimensional metal has become. It would also be hilarious.

sugarfull (September 21, 2008)

1.Mayhem are over twenty years old...hardly a barometer for modern metal.

2.Banal, maybe. Joyless, yes. One dimensional, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one.

3.It would be epicly hillarious.

sugarfull (September 21, 2008)

that would be pretty fucking kvlt if you ask me.

canaandrumzz (September 21, 2008)

I mean c'mon, who hasn't gotten a little crazy at their punk show and stabbed a couple of people? It's how us punx fight the system, stabbing our friends.

my local scene died of that.

BlackRonin (September 21, 2008)

You sure it wasnt metal that did it?

jacknife737 (September 21, 2008)

Interesting enough, none of you seem to be able to prove the good Dr. Quincy wrong. Maybe he’s got a point.

BlackRonin (September 21, 2008)

Temporal reality itself proves Quincy and this episode wrong.What a lame attempt at Trolling. What does that even mean? NEXT!

jacknife737 (September 21, 2008)

Case and point, 20 people got stabbed to death last punk show i went to.

BlackRonin (September 21, 2008)

As an old fart, I turned on many kids in the 90's to this crapfest, AND the CHiPs punk episode. A lot of kids were into the Quincy Punx(who rule) and Id be like have you ever seen that stupid episode!?!?? Im pretty sure Quincy Punx actually cover the song the band "PAIN" from the CHiPs episode did. The best "punk rock episode" ever is from the Saturday morniing cartoon version of Teen Wolf.Styles leaves Teen Wolf dude downtown and he ends up lost in the city and stumbles into a "PUNK" NEIGHBORHOOD(!!!) and meets some "punks" and realises that Styles and his other peers disdain for "punks" is mindless prejudice based mostly on the way they look. He goes to a show and slam dances and jumps of the stage as the wolf and they catch him and dont judge him for being different. He's all like"these people look wierd,but therye actually cool!" You'd think a werewolf

"Tina! If yo really loved me/ Youd LET ME EAT YOUR BRAINS!!!"

DreeeamWeaver (September 21, 2008)

it's pretty clear that BlackRonin is actually the nerdy kid who got the shit kicked out of him from Little Giants that made up "The Annexation of Puerto Rico"

MisFit4Me (September 21, 2008)

"you're the killers! your whole sick so-ciety!!!"

haha, that was my favourite line.

seriously, though, was "mayhem" (NOT the black metal guys) ever a real group, because i'd totally buy their album.
