Stiati ca:

Throughout the series, Sam meets many "future" famous people including: Buddy Holly; Michael Jackson; Marilyn Monroe and Bill Clinton, as well as leaping into Ruth Westheimer,Lee Harvey Oswald, and Elvis Presley.

Goofs:

Continuity: The episode "What Price Gloria?", the first episode Sam leaps into a woman, suggests that Al sees Sam as the person Sam has leaped into since he is checking him out. However, later in the series, in the episode "The Wrong Stuff" he leaps into a chimp. It's obvious that Al can see Sam as Sam since Al can understand what he's saying.

Quotes:

[about Al]
Sam: The fact that you were a practicing pervert at the age of 5 has nothing to do with the rest of the world!

Quantum Leap Main Title

Fertile show that could've gone on longer

The network gave up on this one quickly,which is a shame.

The adventures of Quantum physicist Dr.Sam Beckett(Scott Bakula,never better it would seem)were documented from week to week as he was sent to leap into the lives of people that spanned the main character's lifetime. Nobody can see him in the situation he's in except for a guide by the name of Al Calovicci(Dean Stockwell,about as sharp a character actor as they come).

The show's initial flush of success in its first season and a half would be slowed by the network's lack of confidence in the show's plateauing ratings,despite a VERY loyal fan base. In fact,if I'm to understand it correctly,had it NOT been for the loyal fans of the show,it probably would've been quietly ushered off the air about a year or two earlier than it actually was.

I LOVED this show. Sure,the conceits of time travel in a movie/TV show can be hokey and can stretch the levels of disbelief,but this show still captured the wonder and possibilities of righting wrongs and recapturing the American past Beautifully. Interesting character leaps and a great interplay between Sam and Al made this show all the more watchable.

Maybe someone,someday will decide to do a movie of the this show.Until then,the DVDs I suppose will have to do.
