Quincy Punk Episode Posted Tue Sep 12 13:31:33 BST 2000 by Mr Griffiths

Anyone remember this? It was hilarious. Quincy single-handedly took on the 'scourge' of punk rock music that was turning all the nation's youth into violent non-conformists and blank-eyed druggies. The ep ended with the big Q and his bird smooching to some light jazz and wondering rhetorically "Why do kids listen to music that makes them hate when they can listen to music that makes them love?"

No, but I saw the one where the folk-rock singer nearly incinerates himself whilst free-basing cocaine and so Quincy launches a campaign to free America from the scourge of etc, etc.

Yeah, why do they do that? I've often wondered.

It saves on money on chocolate and cinema tickets.

It's right up there with the Tourette's episode.

No, really.

The kung-fu one is one of my all time faves.

Oooh yeah, and the one with the mummified bodies in an attic. Absolutely top darts!

And they think they can replace the mighty Q with Dick and 'Barry' Van Dyke's Diagnosis: Murder? What kind of diagnosis is that anyway? "I diagnose this man... murdered" (continues on for 5 minutes in similar style, before killing self)

Wasn't the band in the episode called Mayhem? Written years after it all happened and ended so it was woefully off target. Spike Lee must have been taking notes...

They were. The whole affair seemed to be written by Tipper Gore (if any Dead Kennedy fans remember her anti-punk campaigns), the main message of which is "fast music=the end of civilization".

Murder at punk gig!! (as usual, of course)

Quincy has shufti at cadaver, decides to check out the punk club - with hilarious culture clash consequences.

"I'm with the coroner's office"

"I've got their second album, man!"

Tipper Gore type character declares war on the vile fad that is punkish rock. On a Kilroy style show some punks show their contempt for society by talking loudly and not swearing.

Good-girl-turned-punk who was under suspicion of murder de-punks and goes back to mommy. The real murderer turns out to be one of her "so-called punk friends".

Quincy bemoans the musical tastes of today's youth.


That's pretty much the plot

Well, that's a fairly accurate portrayal of the US punk 'scene' 1980-81...
