soliloquincy

Soliloquincies are lines when an actor, during a show, breaks into a social statement only tangentially related to the scene in progress, as frequently the actor, Jack Klugman, did in his role as Quincy, Medical Examiner.

An example of a soliloquincy From a reviewer on IMDB: "Decent but preachy is a way to describe many episodes of "Quincy"--and these episodes are generally among the worst in the series. Instead of focusing on investigating a death, these episodes focus much more on a social issue--and the doctor stomps about preaching about some particular issue"
