"Q" is for Quantum Leap the TV series. I loved this show! This was the kind of show that you could watch with your whole family. It was funny, but also had a good message for it's viewers. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Quantum Leap:
Quantum Leap is an American television series that was broadcast on NBC from March 26, 1989 to May 5, 1993, for a total of five seasons. The series was created by Donald Bellisario, and starred Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, a physicist who becomes lost in time following a time travel experiment, temporarily taking the places of other people to "put right what once went wrong". Dean Stockwell co-starred as Al Calavicci, Sam's womanizing, cigar-smoking sidekick and best friend, who appeared as a hologram that only Sam could see and hear. The series featured a mix of comedy, drama and melodrama, social commentary, nostalgia and science fiction, which won it a broad range of fans. One of its trademarks is that at the end of each episode, Sam "leaps" into the setting for the next episode, usually uttering a dismayed "Oh, boy!"
Did you watch Quantum Leap? If you didn't you really missed out. Thank goodness in our day and age you still can. Down below is a tribute video of season three of Quantum Leap.
I loved Quantum Leap and had actually just been thinking I should look for it on DVD. I still like to see what Scott Bakula is up to.
ReplyDeleteI watched Quantum Leap on occasion. It was a great show. Some of those endings gave me the shivers-- like the JFK episode.
