Review: I've been a fan of Quantum Leap since it was aired on TV. As a fan, I watched it on TV and when they finally decided to put it on laserdisc, I started buying them all. I was disappointed when they stopped creating them after only less than half a dozen laserdiscs. I felt somewhat angry, cheated, and short-changed. Now again, I will start buying the DVDs and hope that the powers-that-be will continue producing DVDs and COMPLETE the series. Wonderful thought-out shows. If you've ever wanted a sci-fi show with some feeling and thought put into it...you won't be disappointed with this......

Summary: The best and first episode
Review: If only ALL the episodes were this good. Great film making for a TV show may I add. I would love to see more of the Project where Sam created Quantum Leap though.

Summary: Excellent Show, Excellent Story, Average DVD.
Review: Quantum Leap is a real jem. With an intriguing story that pulled the audience in week after week, it was considered one of the most innovative show of its time, and it still is.The pilot presents the genesis of the show, having Sam, the main character, forgetting (almost) completely who he is, where and when he's from and how he got in into the 1950's. The only thing he does know is that he does not belong where he is. During the show, Sam gradually learns more about himself and the project he was working on. Quote from Sam, as he realize his predicament: "Okay, it's not a dream. It's a nightmare. And if it's a nightmare, then sooner or later, there's going to be a Boogeyman!" Then enter the Boogeyman, or Albert ("Al"), the observer from his own time... What is remarkable about this television series is that the emphasis is on the personal and social interactions between Sam, Al, and the people around them, not on the science-fiction element of the show. No techno-babble. Not many special effects. Also, the chemistry between Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell is something to be seen. Sam is presented as quite vulnerable, not the typical lone hero with an attitude. Sam is acted as an ordinary man (relatively speaking, as Sam has six doctorates) stuck in an extraordinary situation. Al is the sidekick, and comic relief of the show. The pilot actually presents two "leaps": one into a test pilot, the other, shorter, into a baseball player. I do not want to spoil too much the ending, but this episode does end with the typical cliffhanger, leaping into another person, in another time, and into an awkward situation... The DVD itself is plain vanilla. The only enhancement is a menu driven scene selection. No trailer or language options. No special features. But aside from that, Quantum Leap is truly a classic in any media.

Summary: Please release the DVDs in other region codes!
Review: Quantum Leap is one of the greatest series on television and I use it to teach my creative writing students how to put a reader into the middle of your story. I always think of Sam as the reader who has started reading a story (he knows nothing, has to muddle his way through)--and Al as the story trying to tell itself (all the times you need to know information). Anyway, it's an enjoyable series, and I look forward to the day that all of QL is out on DVD. The other good show on television, as the man from Fredericksburg VA notes, is Northern Exposure. The episode he's looking for is "Dinner at Eight" and has not been released on VHS, but with any luck Northern Exposure's season will be released as so many TV programs have been. So, this is Quantum Leap, or Sam in everyone's head, not Joel in Alaska.

Summary: My (used to be) fave TV show.
Review: Quantum Leap ran from 1989-1993 for 97 episodes. I loved this show! It was amazing. I was almost crying when it ended. "THEY CAN'T LEAVE IT THERE!", I shouted. It is kind of sentimental and honest at the same time. Everything from the theme music to the inventiveness and unpredictabilty of it all makes it a truly classic show. It always had a way of making you well up with tears or long for the 'good old days'. I hope they make a movie of it some day. If they do it'll be a box office smash. Universal have promised us that they will release season box sets of the show some time in 2003 so until then all you fans will have get your fix from this. The pilot episode (or Genesis) is the perfect introduction for non-fans. Okay, so it may be slightly cheesy and the use of stock footage is a bit cheap but as the shows went on the budget got higher and there was more opportunity for elaborate effects and storylines. And who can forget that awesome theme tune? Sam and Al's partnership is truly great and it's a shame this is not on TV anymore. But the Season Sets will be out soon and let us hope they have more features than this disc (none-Main Menu is chapter select!). This DVD is in fullscreen as filmed and is in Dolby Stereo.

Summary: Quantum Leap's First Season is Coming to DVD!
Review: Quantum Leap was an amazing show, definitely one of the best sci-fi/fantasy shows I have ever seen! Scott Bakula (Enterprise) and Dean Stockwell a former childstar were a great team as Sam and Al and I like that the pilot is on DVD but the first season is coming out on DVD and that's what I would go for.

Summary: I WANT THE COMPLETE SHOW ON DVD ! NOW ;+)
Review: The first DVD of the incredible show "Quantum Leap" is marvellous. I don't speak english, but I can write for that ;+) A complete all seasons edition in dvd with making of, trailers, interviews will be marvellous.

Summary: Very Good - But buy season 1 - it's included
Review: There is no need to buy this dvd. The pilot, genesis, is included in the Season One DVD which just came out. They don't write smart tv shows like Quantum Leap anymore. If they did, you'd probably see something like this on HBO. Each episode is more like a movie than a tv show.
