Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThough perceived as an error in the script or it's delivery by actor Jack Klugman by some viewers, the character of Quincy is not in error when he refers to horse "blinders" as "blinkers."
Though the terms blinders is more common in the U.S., blinkers are a piece of horse tack that prevent the horse seeing to the rear and, in some cases, to the side. In other words, blinkers is a synonym of blinders. Klugman, who was an enthusiastic race track gambler, was very likely personally aware of the correct use of the word.
Featured review
Not as good as it could have been, but for 1979, it was amazing.
Considering how times have changed, "Never a Child" seems amazingly tame. But, back in 1979, it was very daring, as the subject of child pornography was hardly ever talked about at that time. So, keeping that in mind, this episode of "Quincy" is very good. Keep it in context when you see this show.
The show begins with a young lady spotting a pedophile trying to pick up a young runaway. However, he spots the lady and follows her up to the roof--and pushes her off! The dead lady, it turns out, had been talking with a coworker at the runaway shelter--and this angry coworker (sort of like a female version of Quincy) informs the Doctor that she was killed by 'Uncle Harry'. So, she and Quincy spend most of the episode trying to find him before he initiates this young runaway into the work of child pornography.
As I mentioned above, this one is relatively tame but it does deal with the subject matter well. The only negative is the angry social worker---as she and Quincy have enough anger for an army!! Still, well worth seeing and quite sad.
