Shows Like Quincy, M.E.
Los Angeles County medical examiner Quincy routinely engages in police investigations.
Ranked by shared creators, cast, themes, genre, and network — not just generic recommendations.

Diagnosis: Murder
Doctor-as-amateur-sleuth procedural in the same vein as Quincy: a likable physician (Dick Van Dyke) helps police solve homicides each week. Tone, format, and medical-investigation premise are the closest match in the pool.

Crossing Jordan
Forensic-pathologist-led crime drama where the medical examiner pushes into police investigations, mirroring Quincy's defining setup. Direct thematic match (medical examination, murder investigation).

One West Waikiki
Glen A. Larson-created series about a female medical examiner partnering with a homicide detective. Same creator and same coroner-investigates-crimes hook as Quincy.

Coroner
Modern coroner-led mystery; the lead investigates suspicious deaths and clashes with police, the exact Quincy template updated for today.

Rizzoli & Isles
Pairs a homicide detective with a medical examiner whose autopsies drive the cases. Direct overlap on medical-examination and murder-investigation themes.

Columbo
Contemporary 70s LA-set mystery-of-the-week starring a rumpled, working-class lead who outsmarts wealthy suspects. Same NBC Mystery Movie wheel and same era as Quincy; nearly identical audience.

Mannix
LA-set 60s/70s crime procedural with episodic murder investigations and a stubborn lead. Strong era and city overlap with Quincy.

Barnaby Jones
CBS contemporary of Quincy: an older, methodical LA-based investigator solving murders. Same vintage, same comfort-procedural feel.

The Rockford Files
70s LA crime drama airing alongside Quincy with a wry, ordinary-guy lead taking on cases the system bungled. Same time slot energy.

Forensic Files
Real-world counterpart of what Quincy dramatizes: medical examiner and forensic evidence cracking murder cases. Strong keyword overlap (medical examiner, coroner, forensic science).

Monk
Quirky outsider consulting on police homicides; same gentle-procedural tone and lone-genius-vs-bureaucracy dynamic Quincy fans enjoy.

Perry Mason
Earlier LA-set classic procedural where the protagonist (a lawyer rather than a doctor) repeatedly proves the official cause of death wrong. Same case-of-the-week DNA.

The Coroner
Coroner-led British mystery with the lead investigating unexplained deaths. Direct premise overlap, lighter tone.

Numb3rs
LA-based procedural where a non-cop expert (mathematician here, ME in Quincy) brings specialized knowledge to police cases.

Midsomer Murders
Long-running cozy murder-of-the-week procedural with the same comfort-viewing rhythm Quincy delivered.

Lewis
Methodical detective procedural that leans on forensic science and pathology to solve genteel murders.

My Life Is Murder
Light, character-driven murder-of-the-week with a stubborn lead pushing back on official conclusions, in Quincy's spirit.

Elementary
Modern consultant-helps-police mystery format. Less medical, but the outsider-expert dynamic resonates with Quincy.

Magnum, P.I.
Glen A. Larson contemporary of Quincy, a fellow lead-driven case-of-the-week show with crossover audience appeal.

77 Sunset Strip
Earlier LA-set crime procedural; not medical, but a clear ancestor of the breezy LA detective format Quincy fits into.
