I think a lot of folks will enjoy this one-but I just felt it took a neat idea and tried way too much to be a funny episode. It also seemed like a reworking of the old film "You Can't Take It With You". ![]() The second biggest problem is that the film really tried way too hard to be quirky-so much so that it seemed a bit ridiculous. In fact, the devotion of Quincy (who barely knows her) defied common sense-as is Monahan's sudden change of tune. Yet, inexplicably, everyone loves this woman. This made absolutely no sense and would undoubtedly result in the lady going to prison and the property confiscated. No one questioned this and everyone immediately agreed with her and saw no problem with this fraud or the three non-murdered corpses hidden in the attic. When confronted, she says the annuity conmpany had cheated her and she was only getting what was rightfully hers. She apparently stuck the bodies there to commit fraud and continue collecting on an annuity that only paid if four women were alive-and when three of them died, the fourth (the land lady) hid them and kept taking payments. But who did it and why? The biggest problem I had with the episode was the way the lady who owned this rooming house was written and how everyone reacted to her. But, the fourth was murdered-and now a 20 year old murder case is opened. Quincy's autopsies of the first three bodies show they died of natural causes. The following is a list of film and television performances by American actress, producer, and childrens author Jamie Lee Curtis. It seems that the warm and dry attic was perfect for preserving the corpses. Virgin Islands in a lawsuit tied to Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan agrees to 75 million settlement with the U.S. Experts can’t recall the last time a president did that. Biden will join the UAW strike picket line. But they're not just bodies-they are perfectly mummified bodies. Supreme Court allows drawing of new Alabama congressional map to proceed, rejecting state’s plea. Soon, the girlfriend makes a discovery-a couple bodies in the attic. She loves the place-Quincy just thinks they're all a bunch of weirdos. The show begins with Quincy's girlfriend (one of about 42974 during the course of the series) moving into a weird old house filled with eccentrics. I really think the show could have been much better had they cleaned up the script a bit. "No Way to Treat a Body" is an interesting episode of "Quincy" but it's also very highly flawed-with a plot that often makes no sense and too strong a desire to be quirky and goofy.
