Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Quantum Leap - The Complete First Season
Review: This is a great episode, but I wouldn't buy any of these until they start releasing entire seasons.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: And so it begins
Review: This is an excellent transfer of the pilot episode of the brilliant TV series Quantum Leap. Now if only there was a way to get past all the copyright problems and release the entire series on DVD.

The pilot introduces us to Sam Beckett, a scientist who steps in the Quantum Leap Accelerator in 1995 and awakens in 1956. Unfortunately something has gone wrong, his memory is patchy - at first he can barely remember who he is. Finding himself in the body of a USAF test pilot about to make an attempt to break the Mach 3 barrier in an experimental plane, Sam must ensure the survival of the pilot in addition to trying to restore his memory and hopefully return to his own time. Helping him out is an holographic image of his colleague, Al, who can only give him minute snippets of advice in the hope of sorting things out in both 1956 and 1995.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's about time!
Review: Yes, the show itself is about time: time to see life as others see it. The DVD shows it's about time to get the entire series available to the public!

In an age where TV shows are chopped up in syndication, it appears that DVDs are the last bastions of creativity. On one of these you can see an ENTIRE episode, start to finish, as it originally aired and before it has been shredded to fit into the secondary media.

IT IS ABOUT TIME TO HAVE ALL THE EPISODES RELEASED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. The show itself was excellent (as attested to by all the critical and fan acclaim) and the interest in it is once again gaining strength. It would be wonderful if the DVDs would have more than a mere episode but lack of more should not be an excuse not to release them.

Time is marching on. Let's get these episodes OUT THERE!
