Re: Quantum Leap

YET ANOTHER VERY GOOD SHOW.
ITS GREAT HOW THEY GO THRU TIME HELPING PEOPLE OUT.

SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE A HAPPY ENDING WHICH IS A GOOD THING MAKES IT MORE REALISTIC.

HAS BEEN ON TV A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST FEW YRS.

Re: Quantum Leap

My favorite episode is the one where Sam leaps into Roberto, a TV talk show host loosely modelled on Geraldo Rivera. The episode even subtly parodies Geraldo's Al Capone debacle when Sam discovers a secret chemical weapons lab and shows up the next day with a camera crew but the lab has been walled off and Sam/Roberto is trying to convince everybody that the chemical weapons lab is there.

Re: Quantum Leap

It was simply a caption before the end credits.

As mentioned above the show was cancelled late in the day so there wasn't a chance to even tack on an end scene.

Re: Quantum Leap

He never went home?! . I never actually knew what happened in the end. What a disappointment!

As for Lost, I started watching it because of all the hype but lost interest after a couple of episodes. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Re: Quantum Leap

great series, BUT it suffers from a disease that all US 'adventure' shows had/have....they drag on & on, stretching the plot idea out. time Tunnel, Lost in Space, Land of The Giants, Kung Fu, Incredible Hulk, etc etc etc...right up to today with the likes of Lost....GET TO THE POINT WILL YOU?

I'd love to see the first and last show in most of these iconic series, but a lot of episodes in between were pants

eg with Lost, I loved the 1st series; continued again with the 2nd series, by series 3 I was forgetting stuff from the earlier two series, and they kept saying 'answers are coming' in the trailers , but they weren't , since it only raised MORE questions grrrrrrrr

Well said. I got fed up of QL, Lost etc. Especially Lost in hindsight - I remember watching the final season and must admit it was all convoluted guff....As for QL, the very final episode really annoyed me when I originally saw it, I'd have liked a definitive ending to things like that, i.e. he finally went home, the end. Instead we got the 'never went home guff'.

Re: Quantum Leap

i loved quantum Leap.............was probably my fav series at the time but I have to agree with rossobantam's comment about 'dragging on'

Re: Quantum Leap

I really liked Quantum Leap, I had a crush on his trusty sidekick Dean Stockwell.

Ha ha, me too, which everyone thought was weird because he was old. Incidentally the other day I remembered seeing the film 'The Boy With The Green Hair' on TV when I was little so I decided to look it up and Dean Stockwell was the boy. Well I never! I've never seen the film since.

Back to Quantum Leap...great show. I watched it regularly on its first run and it's being repeated on ITV4 now. yey!

Re: Quantum Leap

Awesome show - really grows on you. The one that turned out to be the finale is just wonderful. Takes place in a mining town.

Just revisited this post - the episode is titled Mirror Image and was supposed to be a season finale but was reworked on short notice into the "series" finale; it concluded with that caption about what happened to Dr. Beckett. Sounds like a lot of the fans still hate this finale, but for me it really works - and at least we have a finale. All too often they just kill the lights and then want you to love and support whatever hot new show they have coming down the pipe.

Re: Quantum Leap

They always claimed that Sam would never get involved in major events. Then he leapt into Lee Harvey Oswald...

It is true that the best ones are the short ones - Randall and Hopkirk for example: one season of solid gold, Spaced - 14 episodes of mayhem and Arrested Development - wrongly cancelled (Bateman rules).
