    220 Maybe Baby

    I am surprised to see so many people here didn't like this episode specifically because of Julie Brown. True,she didn't really get a chance to display her comedic talents to their fullest extent here,but it wasnt a comedic role. Julie Brown was one of the best things about the 80's and early...

    Al's Place 25th Anniversary Celebration and the Road to One Million --- Updates on January 1, 2025

    Brian,just want to say thanks to you and everyone involved in this site for giving us all a place dedicated to Quantum Leap. I just recently watched the entire series again this past week and it's like traveling back in time and visiting old friends. Ive said this many times,but I'll always...

    Question about original instrumental piece used in "Mirror Image"

    Yes, It was definetly an original piece of music composed for the series or a piece of production music from Universals vast library,not a song or tune from back in the 40's or 50's. Its a great tune though and I was curious if it ever got released to the public. I know other instrumental...

    Classic Series Today in Quantum Leap History: December 24

    I remember when Freddie Prinze shot himself on January 28th 1977. He was only 22 years old and everyone was shocked. He went from being poor and unknown to a huge star with his own hit show,"Chico and the Man" literally overnight. It didn't seem real. He was such a funny and likeable guy,and...

    222 M.I.A.

    I love this episode. It's one of the best because it shows why Al's marraiges never worked out,and why the other women were more sex objects than anything else. As Al put it,if you're lucky you get one shot at true love,and Beth was it. Deans performance here is nothing short of phenomenal...

    222 M.I.A.

    Am I the only one here that noticed that the cop car that pulls into the alley when Sam is being shot at is a 1966 Dodge Coronet. Then the instant they shoot at the car it's now a 1968 Dodge Polara! Maybe the 68 Dodge leaped into the 66 to change its history? Lol. There's also a shot outside...

    517 Goodbye, Norma Jean

    I feel the same way. In Season 5 they started pushing the "Sam leaps into someone famous" (Elvis,Dr. Ruth,Lee Harvey Oswald) or in this case having him involved directly with someone famous, Marylin Monroe,he obviously couldnt save her since we all know how the real history turned out...Ive...

    Question about original instrumental piece used in "Mirror Image"

    I was watching "Mirror Image" again and theres a piece of original big band style instumental music composed for the series that I really like and has stuck in my head since the series debuted. Can anybody identify the track and tell me it's name and if it was ever released on any of the...

    That's the only way to do it! But I just wanted to say thanks for your hard work. I was watching Quantum Leap again last night. Actually I was up all night watching 8 episodes..and it always impresses me and takes me back to that time. This was such a great television show,produced by veterans...

    422 A Leap for Lisa

    Yeah,he claimed after he was confronted that he would have,but it seemed like he wouldn't have unless he got caught. What guy rapes a woman anyway. Nobody I'd want to be friends with. I'm sure Al would have ditched the guy.

    422 A Leap for Lisa

    One of the best episodes. I really enjoyed the cameo by veteran actor Roddy McDowell. Charles Rocket is fantastic at playing arrogant,sleazy,unlikable characters. Ive hated him in every episode he's appeared in and in my opinion he was at his most detestable here as a violent,sick,perverted...

    418 It's a Wonderful Leap

    I watched this one again last night and really enjoyed it. Especially the bickering between Al and Angela. The acting is great in this episode too. Great supporting cast

    Dean Stockwell photos!

    I will always regret missing the Leap Con that happened in Los Angeles. I was unaware this site existed at the time,or that it was happening. I would have loved to have met Mr. Stockwell in person. Mr. Dorleac told me that Dean didn't like being fitted for clothes and liked to get it over with...

    Its got to be hard for you to keep track of everything scattered over all those sites. Remembering all those passwords,constantly going back and forth. It was nice when everything was centralized decades ago. It's the same thing that happened on a forum I belong to that's dedicated to 57-61...

    "Mirror Image"/"Mr. Destiny"

    Quantum Leap referenced "It's a wonderful life" a few times. Most notably (and obvious) was "It's a Wonderful Leap". Theres even a discussion about Clarence between Sam,Al and Angela. I have heard that Donald Belisario was a fan of Frank Capra's films. As to wether he knew of that or not,it's...

    Question About The Blu-Rays

    You're right. Mill Creek is a budget label and they don't go to the time,effort and expense on their releases that more respectable companies do. Criterion does fantastic jobs on their remasters such as "A Face in the Crowd" with Andy Griffith. Mill Creeks Rockford Files bluRay suffers from...

    101 The Pilot Episode <AKA Genesis>

    It's the same in America,modern pop music is garbage and theres nothing good on the radio. The music from the 40's,50's and 60's was the best ever,but so were rhe cars,movies,tv shows,etc. Glad you enjoy the old American music too. The 50's ans early 60's were America at its zenith.

    101 The Pilot Episode <AKA Genesis>

    I remember when the series started airing on USA back in the early 90's. Back then USA also had some decent original programs like Duckman.

    101 The Pilot Episode <AKA Genesis>

    I agree,I love this episode too. Who new back in the bringing that Weird Ernie would also figure prominently in the final episode of the series too! Incidentally I have the same Seeburg that Sam and Al first talk in front of while Pat Boones "Thee I love/Friendly Persuasion" is playing...
