Blast from the Past: Quantum Leap

"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and Vanished...He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home."

Cast:
Scott Bakula
Role: Dr. Samuel "Sam" Beckett

Life as a house) recently saw the dvd box set in the sale at hmv so im thinking i might have to but it soon

Re: Blast from the Past: Quantum Leap

I recorded ALL the Quantum Leap episodes... My favourite episodes are The Leap Home Parts I & II...

Some of the special effects in the series were dubious, but a lot of the stories were A1!!!

Re: Blast from the Past: Quantum Leap

Good show. I especially liked the ones where Sam ended up in women's bodies. But I have to confess that I mostly watched for Al, and how Sam was always having to try to talk to him without people thinking he was crazy.

And he appeared to be a very hairy man in those dresses too!!!
It was a good show, dealt with a lot of different conflicts and controversial situations... I had to watch to see how he would get out or fix the problem that he was in... not always did it turn out the way I thought.

Re: Blast from the Past: Quantum Leap

I loved this at the begining. especially little humor like the 'piggy suey' episode. but it got very preachy towards the end with sam being on a divine mission. gak. stopped watching.

Re: Blast from the Past: Quantum Leap

This was one of the most inventive TV shows ever. I didn't start watching it until it went into syndication, but it's brilliant!!!

I always liked it too, though I also caught it later on. Some great stories, good adventures, and a lot of humour. Excellent

Re: Blast from the Past: Quantum Leap

Yeah I was also a Quantum leap fan, I use to watch it while I was at secondary school. I enjoyed its humour mainly.

Re: Blast from the Past: Quantum Leap

This is one of those series that I got into the second time around, for some reason one of my main memories is of the episode where Baluka played a disc jockey at a local radio station
