Review: We love quantum leap and have been waiting forever for it's release. It's about time!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Season 1 DVD - Good News
Review: Possibly the last really engaging broadcast TV series. Missing since the late '90s, it seems we're about to get re-introduced to Quantum Leap.

This Vonnegut-esque series is about a research physicist go gets "unstuck" in time, and randomly "leaps" into the lives of other people. (Well, it may not be "random", but that's open to interpretation). In any case, he remains in his new body until he rights a wrong in that person's life.

What happens to the person Dr. Beckett replaces isn't always clear. Later in the series we find that they go to a "waiting room" from Dr. Beckett's time, but even then the rules can get a little flexible.

No matter - the tableaux of events spanning the life of a later 20th century/ early 21st century physicist and rennaissance man lead to a number of compelling episodes. At various times, Dr. Beckett leaps into the life of a deaf man, an African-American, a condemned murderer, a person with Down's syndrome, and in one surprise episode, Lee Harvey Oswald. Late in the series we learn there is an "evil" leaper, sent to make life miserable for those she "leaps" into.

Joining Scott Bakula as Dr. Beckett is Dean Stockwell, a wonderfully underrated performer in a role that proves much deeper than most anticipated.

I'm looking forward to this DVD, and hope for lots of extra features to bring this series to life.

Summary: Quantum Leap is the best TV show ever
Review: Doctor Sam Beckett ( Scott Bakula) has created an accelerator chamber that allows a person to travel in time or "leap" back and forth within the confines of their own lifetime. Unfortunately, the people funding the project are not convinced that it works. So in order to prove that the accelerator works, Sam leaps prematurely before the system is fully operational. He is lept back in time, and his soul is forced into another person's body. Sam's only link to his own time is his best friend and fellow co-worker Al Calavicci ( Dean Stockwell) who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. In order to move on, Sam must put something right that went wrong in the person's life that he lept into. From that moment on, Sam leaps from life to life, hoping each time that his next leap, will be the leap home.

Quantum Leap is without a doubt my favorite television show of all time. The show featured an extremely original perspective on time travel. I love the fact that even though Sam's soul or essence if you will, would leap from life to life, he would always assume the physical characteristics of the person that he would leap into. One of the best parts of each episode, would be seeing the reflection of the person in the mirror. Each episode also showcased extremely realistic set designs as well. Each time period that Sam lept into was recreated very effectively. Quantum Leap also managed to keep you in suspense, despite the fact you always knew that Sam would save the day. However, the show could not have succeeded without Scott Bakula or Dean Stockwell. They were so great together on screen, that they could literally pass for best friends in real life. They had the best on screen chemistry of any two actors that I have ever seen.

It has been officially confirmed. The nine episode first season of Quantum Leap is coming to DVD on June 8, 2004. This is something that many fans of the show have been waiting for, including myself. If there was ever a show that deserved to be on DVD it is Quantum Leap. While it is yet to be seen what the extras will be, the show is worth owning just for the episodes themselves.

Review: QL finally leaps back onto DVD!

With the original DVD release of Quantum Leap - The Pilot Episode being long out-of-print, fans of the show have longed for Universal Home Entertainment to bring the beloved series back to DVD in season sets.

We knew something was in-the-works last November, when reports surfaced that Deborah Pratt - who was heavily involved in the show - had mentioned in an interview that she was called in to do some work on the new home video version.

Now the waiting is over, and the countdown to the street date begins. This morning, Universal Home Video announced that Quantum Leap - Season 1 will leap home on June 8th. The nine hours of program that made up the rookie season - including the pilot episode "Genesis" from the out-of-print item - will arrive on 2 DVDs ...

Right now details are thin, with no details on the specs, no extras mentioned so far (though we're sure there will be some, since Ms. Pratt participated on the release), and no cover art to show you yet. Still, it's great to know that Sam, Al, and Ziggy will be coming back home this summer, in one of the most-requested releases here at the site (in the top 10!). Stay tuned, and we'll be back just as soon as Universal circulates the remaining information about this box set.

Summary: Hopefully not waiting in vain
Review: I miss this show so much it hurts. I don't get the SciFi network so they need to put this out on DVD soon. The intro to the show is probably the best I have ever seen. I can still hear that breathy voice in my head. I miss shows that used creativity and good acting instead of this stupid "reality TV" stuff we have now. This show tried to go into racism, sexism, morals and all other "real" stuff that life is really about. Scott Bakula was awesome (nobody played a woman better than he did), and who can forget Al with his Ziggy slap. Please hurry and get this out on DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best show ever!
Review: Hoping someone will soon release this show on DVD. I would buy this immediately. What a great show this was - great concept, good acting, highly entertaining. Wish more shows on TV today were like this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And I thought I was the only one...
Review: who absolutely loved The Adventures of Sam and Al. I mean, how creative can you get? The one thing that held my attention throughout the whole series was, "what will they dream up next?"
I laughed, I cried and I wrung my hands in frustration over the multi-part episodes. Quantum Leap was a series that my whole family waited for and watched, together!
If and when it gets zapped onto DVD, I'll be first in line

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST show ever!
Review: I agree...the sooner they get this on DVD the better. I used to tape Quantum Leap when it was on TV, and although I have fifteen tapes full of episodes, I by no means have all of them, and would love to have commericial free episodes. My favorite episode is the "Rod-the-Bod" episode, where he helps the deaf dancer.
