Q.E.D. (American TV series)

For the series of science documentary films, see Q.E.D. (British TV series).

Q.E.D. is a 1982 adventure television series set in Edwardian England, starring Sam Waterston as Professor Quentin Everett Deverill.^[1][2] The Professor was a scientific detective in the mold of Sherlock Holmes, and the series had a smattering of what would later be called steampunk. In the show, the lead character was known primarily by his initials, Q.E.D; the reference here is that Q.E.D. usually stands for quod erat demonstrandum, a statement signalling the end of a proof. However, characters would sometimes state the initials to represent "quite easily done".
