When the nearest ports deny them entry, the episode ends with two dummies jumping off the ship and swimming ashore. So, samples are helicoptered to Los Angeles where they can do the blood work.
QUINCY ME SLOW BOAT TO MADNESS FULL
Quincy, not surprisingly, is asked by the Captain to perform autopsies but they are inconclusive, as there really isn't the equipment he needs for a full analysis of the victims. Part one consists of the folks preparing for the cruise, going on the cruise and the beginning of the carnage. What is the culprit? Well, you'll have to watch both part one and part two to know the answer to this one.
The cruise back looks like it will be wonderful, but wouldn't you know it, folks start dying!! It's an odd case, as they hallucinate and end up killing themselves or others-as if they are having a bad acid trip.
This time, Muldaur plays the Public Health Officer once again-and Quincy's love interest. Now having a guest actor appear several times on the show isn't odd, but they usually play different characters. While having this happen once or twice is bad enough, but EVERY time Quincy travels?! The show is a bit unusual, as Diana Muldaur returns to the show as the same character she played a year earlier. That's because repeatedly on the show, whenever he travels (on vacation or to a convention) bad things will happen and he'll need to do coroner stuff-and often this means autopsies. This is yet another episode that proves that Dr. Slow Boat to Madness: Part 1 is another very watchable Quincy story that gets back to the show's roots by having Quincy solve a mystery rather than try to put the world to rights singlehandedly. Monahan only feature for a few seconds at the start but the guest cast do OK except the two trying to be Russians as their accents are just plain awful. Obviously shot on a real cruise ship this one looks pretty good, there are a few bizarre hallucination scenes including one which involves a slot machine full of eel's & snails. This part has built the situation up nicely & my only real criticism is that some of the character's are a bit one dimensional although I'm looking forward to part 2. Klugman is just great to watch as usual although you can tell the producers wanted story lines that were more personal for Quincy as here they try to set him up with a potential wife in Janet, luckily this doesn't overshadow the main mystery elements of Slow Boat to Madness which are strong to retain ones interest & the main reason I think most watch the show. The script this time has no intention of making a heavy-handed moral point & is pretty much action all the way, it moves along at a nice pace & has some typical Quincy humour along with the death & despair. Episode 3 from season 7 this two part Quincy story was directed by Daniel Haller & is another top medical mystery & one where Quincy gets out of the laboratory which makes for a nice change of pace. Captain Edwards (Ed Nelson) calls on Quincy & Janet to help, working together they quickly discover that there is a mysterious & very deadly virus spreading throughout the ship & everyone on board is at risk. However their plans for a great time suffer a setback when first a passenger jumps overboard & drowns while another kills a crew-member before dying himself.
Janet Carlyle (Diana Muldaur) prepare for a relaxing vacation on a cruise ship, they fly to Thaihiti where they board the ship & set sail. county coroner Quincy (Jack Klugman) & his lady friend Dr. Quincy M.E.: Slow Boat to Madness: Part 1 starts as L.A.
