Summary: Quantum Leap me Anywhere
Review: I ahve been a fan of Scott Bakula and Quantum Leap and I was quite pleased with the DVD First Season. I had forgotten how talented Bakula and Stockwell were in the show. Their friendship was real. This is what is missed in today's television. Scott Bakula's character made have leaped, but his charm is always there, that you forget he is acting and his hardwork could be taken for granted. Sam is very sweet, choir-boy ways (as Al usually puts it), sexy, funny, so expressive and the stories are just as revelant today as back then. And Al, and his hysterical, woman chasing ways- this is a fabo DVD selection. After looking at the first season, I must have the second season now. Scott and Dean give us some hidden easter eggs, there are personable introductions from Scott. The love these two guys have for their fans is evident, and I appreciated more Quantum Leap after listening to the 20 minutes conversation between Scott, Dean and Don Bellisario talk about there memories of the show. If you are a fan of Quantum Leap this 3 set DVD is for you. It will taken you back to quality television and the wonderful friendship that Scott and Dean have for each other which overflowed into the show's characters.
Bravo Bakula and Stockwell!!!!!!!

Summary: Quantum Leap DVD worth the wait!
Review: The first season DVD of Quantum Leap, starring Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell, is available now, and it was well worth the wait! Everyone who enjoyed the series in 1989 must add this to their collection. I've watched QL numerous times over the years, but the digital clarity of these disks reveals details I never noticed before. It was like watching them for the first time. If you've never seen Quantum Leap, or have seen it only in reruns, these disks offer the opportunity to experience the first season as it aired originally, with opening and closing credits intact. Also, scenes often deleted to make room for commercials have been restored. In a Bonus feature, Scott, Dean, and creator Donald Bellisario reminisce individually about the series, but the interviews are edited together so cleverly it's as if they were together. The comments of each man elaborate on the others until complete incidents unfold--the auditions, the casting of Scott and Dean, and other tidbits that enhance the viewer's enjoyment of the episodes. Each episode is also preceded by an Episode Insight, a background bit from Scott Bakula that highlights some specific point about that episode. An added treat for some younger viewers might be the appearance of a pre-90210 Jason Priestley, who is featured in the episode The Camikazi Kid. My only complaint is that the DVD left me wanting more--more and longer interviews, more Episode Insights, maybe ever a Blooper disk. These suggestions should be considered for the remaining season releases. On that note, I fervently hope Seasons 2-5 are released as soon as humanly possible, without sacrificing time for the creation of more Bonus materials. Bravo to Don Bellisario, Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell, and everyone else involved with the show and with the production of these DVDs!

Summary: Quantum Leaps way ahead.
Review: Quantum Leap is one of the most imaginative Sci Fi series of recent years. The DVDs of its first season are excellent and the added comments that Scott Bakula gives before each episode, about the training he had to undertake and people he worked with are a wonderful addition. All this, together with the interviews of Scott, Dean Stockwell and Donald Bellisario as part of the bonus material, are truly entertaining and informative. A highly recommended DVD set. I would love to see an early release of the other 4 seasons together with the alternative ending for the last episode. Also out takes, further interviews with Scott and Dean, and QL convention footage would be wonderful if included in the bonus material. Oh Boy!

Summary: It's about time....
Review: It's about time that this show about time was released on DVD! It was critically acclaimed during its run and it quickly became a fan favorite. It had everything, including a fascinating premise, wonderful writing, great scores, terrific performances by its 'regular' cast (Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell) as well as by the weekly guests. In fact, some early performances by some who became 'names' can be found in various episodes (Teri Hatcher guests in 'Star Crossed' and Jason Priestley in 'Camikazi Kid', just two of the episodes in this set). Performances by folks like Jennifer Aniston and a host of others can be viewed in future sets (which hopefully will be available sooner rather than later!). Fortunately, the set allows everyone to once again view the episodes, not only in their entirety (unlike the syndicut versions that have been shown on various cable stations over the years), but with the original opening narrations and graphics. Boy, do they deliver! The 20 minute 'Kiss with History' interview with Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell and Don Bellisario is both amusing and informative and a definite 'don't miss'. Of course, more behind the scenes extras such as bloopers, full episode commentary or more interviews (Deborah Pratt would probably be a wonderful source for great stories!) would have fit the bill but one can only hope that we'll get to see more in future sets. Be advised, that although the box claims that the sound is monoaural, it most definitely is stereo. While some may balk at the pricing, when you consider the cost per episode, it's more than worth it. Besides, who doesn't purchase from a store with the sale circular from another store in hand not only to get the better price, but a refund on the difference as well!!

Summary: Oh Boy!!!!
Review: One of the most critically-acclaimed and beloved sci-fi dramas of all-time, Quantum Leap (which aired on NBC for 5 seasons from 1989 - 1993) launches anew with the DVD release of its 9 episode first season. THE STORY Quantum Physicist, super genius and all-around good old boy, Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula, lately of Star Trek: Enterprise) spear heads a time travel project and "leaps back" in time helping put right small events in people's past that went wrong. Helping out Sam on his leaps is his friend and observer Al (Dean Stockwell) and the projects Super Computer Ziggy. In the meantime Sam continues to leap throughout time helping others always hoping that his next leap will be the leap home. ABOUT SEASON ONE: Season One, as is expected, introduces us to the basic premise of the show and all the characters. We meet Sam and experience along with him all the little intricacies and problems time travel and leaping into other people's lives brings (not knowing people's names or where to go or what to do). We also learn a great deal about the characters of Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci. THE EPISODES AND DISCS Here are the 9 episodes of Season One. Disc 1 Episode 1: "Genesis" - Jump starting the project without approval, Sam leaps into the Quantum Accelerator and wakes up as someone else, not remembering who or what he is and finds out that he's an Air Force test pilot trying to break Mach 3 - and he doesn't know how to fly!!! Episode 2: "Star-Crossed" - Sam leaps into a literature professor and has to juggle an affair the Prof is having with an obsessed student, her jealous wrestler boyfriend AND an opportunity to have an influence on the brilliant young physics major who would one day leave Sam waiting at the altar. Disc 2 Episode 3: "The Right Hand of God" - Sam leaps into a young boxer who's scheduled to fight for the State Heavyweight championship and an opportunity to win prize money to help a group of nuns build a church as well as start up a donut shop for the boxer and his girlfriend. Episode 4: "How The Tess Was Won" - Sam leaps into a Texas veterinarian and must "out cowboy" a strong-headed woman who will only marry a man who can best her. Episode 5: "Double Identity" - Sam leaps into a Mafia hit-man who's having an affair with the Don's girlfriend. Oh boy... Disc 3 Episode 6: "The Color of Truth" - Sam leaps into a Black chauffeur in the Deep South BEFORE the Civil Rights movement starts and must deal with the prejudice of the townsfolk as Sam does some "illegal" activities only meant for White people. Episode 7: "Camikazi Kid" - Sam leaps into a teenage hot rod racer in the 50's who must convince his sister to NOT marry her boyfriend who's destined to grow up into an abusive alcoholic. Episode 8: "Play It Again Seymour" - Sam leaps into a gumshoe detective (who looks an awful lot like Humphrey Bogart) and must solve a murder mystery before times up especially since in the original history HIS character winds up as a victim. Tons of Casablanca and gumshoe jokes abound. THE EXTRAS 1.Each Episode contains a brief introduction by series star Scott Bakula detailing some unique fact about the episode. You can choose to turn intros "on" or "off." 2."A Kiss With History: Remembering Quantum Leap" - located on Disc 1 is a 20-minute featurette featuring commentary by series' leads Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell and producer Donald Bellisario discussing how the show came about and going over some of the events of Season One. THE VERDICT For 5 seasons fans everywhere thrilled week in and week out as Sam leaped through time helping people put events in there lives that went wrong right. With a thrilling combination of action, suspense, adventure, a little romance and a TON of moral self-checks (and tackling some sticky issues) "Quantum Leap" grew into a favorite with a strong fan-base of Loyal Leapers. Take a Leap into the Quantum Accelerator and go along with Sam for a ride through time and reminisce (or find out for the first time) what all the excitements about. Highest Recommendation

Summary: way overdue, way over budget
Review: Well, it finally gort here, and we can see, without commercial interruption, the brilliant first season of a terrific show. "genesis," the two-part pilot about a pilot who might have ended up in two parts, or more, had his pal Al not helped him out. "Right Hand of God," I loved, as a fight fan of long standing. featured a neat cameo by Dean Stockwell's equally dissipated brother, Guy, as a mafioso. "Star-Crossed,"--I rooted for Oscar the college boy to beat up Sam in that one, where Sam wanted to get with Donna, and this red-headded traulop was after him. and on and on it goes. great episodes. just wished they hadn't cost as much hard-earned loot.

Summary: this is the best TV show
Review: This was a great season with some classic episodes. The only thing I didn't like was that this season was so short, but hey you still got 4 full seasons left after this. I say buy it and relive history all over again.

Summary: It's About Time!!
Review: Just would like to say that I was waiting for this DVD set to come out for the longest time.
Some people might say that the show was not all that great but the idea of being able to leap into other people was just great. Especially when Sam leaped into someone such as Elvis.
I'm not sure that I've seen all the shows and that is another reason that I will buy all the sets.
