Review: ...Oh, Boy. Quantum Leap on DVD.
August 22, 2002

The floodgates are open. Releasing television series on home video was completely unpractical six years ago, but the convenience of DVD has showed studios that fans will buy up television programming on DVD. As many television shows have been announced over the last month or so, it appears that a great deal more are coming. Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Warner Brothers Home Video and Paramount Home Entertainment have all recently announced commitment to television on DVD. One of the first new series coming from this announcement is the science fiction drama Quantum Leap due in 2003.

Before Scott Bacula traveled through space as the captain of the Enterprise, he traveled through time as Sam Beckett, a scientist who discovered the ability to leap through time, from person to person, within his own lifetime. Along with his friend Al, who appeared to Sam as a hologram from the future, Sam used the ability not for personal gain, but to help fix other's lives which had gone astray. Although the pilot of this series is out there on a discontinued DVD, it looks like the rest of the series will follow. Although no information is available on prices, specs, or features. Information on the show and likely many other popular series will be coming down the pipeline soon.

Summary: Quantum Leap First Season in DVD
Review: According to Project Quantum Leap, they called Deborah Pratt and asked about the QL DVDs... aparently, Universal is already working in these DVDs, so, probably they would see the light of day in 2004 (maybe the first quarter).

Summary: Just a question
Review: Did I catch a glimpse of a young Will Ferrell in the pilot episode? I checked out IMDB but it wasn't one of his credits. Have I lost my mind or has anyone else noticed?

Summary: Please release the DVDs in other region codes!
Review: I absolutely adore Quantum Leap, a program I find full of worthwhile themes, acting, and stimulating moments. But I find it incredibly frustrating when DVDs are released and they are only available in region code 1. What about the rest of the world!!! There are Quantum Leap lovers in lots of countries, and if the entire series came out on Region 4 DVD I would buy it in a second. PLEASE PLEASE put out DVDs in more than one region code. And PLEASE put out the rest of this brilliant series.

Summary: Great episode - but no extras?
Review: I love Quanrtum Leap. No, I mean I LOVE Quantum Leap. But this DVD had zero extras, a cheesy menu board with chapter selection only, and the menu didn't even use the real Quantum Leap logo. It's like they didn't know what Quantum Leap was when they put the movie on the DVD. Overall, a poor DVD.

Advise to producers...put the whole series on DVD and take the time to put extras and gooodies on them with menus that match the shows atmosphere, just as all good DVD's do.

Leaping out...

Summary: When can we have the entire series on DVD box sets
Review: I loved Quantum Leap when it was on terrestrial TV and unfortunately I do not have satellite to watch re-runs on UK Gold. We've got Buffy box sets, Angel box sets, Friends box sets, even Red Dwarf box sets and all of them pale in comparison to the excellent writing and production of Quantum Leap.
It was a well thought out, interesting and funny programme which could also be moving and thought provoking. Please please please, can we have the different seasons released as box sets on DVD as I'm sure there are many like me who agree!

Summary: Quantum Leap
Review: I used to watch Quantum Leap when I was younger and loved it. I still do and thats why I bought the DVD.

I live in the UK and they didn't release the DVD and now it is out of print, so, I bought it off the collectible section. (Good job I have a multi-region DVD player.)

Quantum Leap is one of the most original sci-fi/comedy/drama series of all time. It is a classic and is a must see.

Now that Scott Bakula is in Star Trek: Enterprise I think they may start doing Quantum Leap on DVD again, makes sense really. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell play their parts well and are one of the best acting duos of all time.
