I was only seven when this show started and 29 years later I still watch it again and again. This show is epic. Why they only made five seasons is beyond me. This show is funny and witty with the famous Oh Boy... you should watch this if you haven't yet believe me it's not to be missed. Shame they don't make tv as good as this anymore it's all superhero this or comic book that.

Great TV for the 80s made for great scripts, writing, acting, and directing. Also it is rare to see a time travel program on TV or less on the movies as it just ain't popular with audiences.Well anyway, Scott Bakula stars as the time traveling hero, Sam Beckett. Who has to travel and be someone else but does not see himself actually in the mirror but the person that he becomes, whether, woman, man, child, even an animal!Project is called the "Quantum Leap" project as he is aided by Al, the wisecracking mentor and boss whom only Sam can hear or see. And very rarely, children and animals played with charm by Dean Stockwell.As they both must put time right and the situations right. That are wrong before they come on the air. To make it right with others. And the situations along the way before Sam can move to the "Situation and person of the week!"Very charming and really a beloved show!

in childhood, the idea of time travel was one of my favorite.after years, this series becomes answer to this passion. not only for its story - really great. or for the adventures of a traveler in time.but for the seductive acting. surgery on time body, smart game with events, fascinating for each metamorphose of lead character, nice for the performance of Dean Stockwell, it remains one of touching memories from " 90's. its virtue - the mixture between S. F. and fairy - tale. the admirable script. and the possibility to identified you with fragile quantum leap. slices of human avatars and policier, it remains a beautiful series. and interesting travel in imagination rooms.

I caught this show well after its run was over. I think I caught most of the episodes on USA or some other cable channel. The premise of the show was that this guy randomly leaps from person to person throughout time. He basically is himself, but every person around him sees him as the person he has leaped into. The show was okay, was not a super fan, but I liked certain episodes a lot. Hated a couple too, it just really depended on where he was or what he had to do as he always seemed to have an objective in the time he went to. The show would try to get a bit cute near the end of its run as they introduced an enemy leaper and then the show would end with a very depressing final show that basically said Sam never got back home again. Did not care for that at all and the implications and such. Still, for most of the show it was funny and suspenseful watching him try to figure out what to do to find out what he had to do to make things right with the person that he was within. Scott Bakula did a good job in the lead role and Dean Stockwell was also good as a kind of guide for Sam as he was the one that tried to figure out what needed to be done in the time periods. Interesting show, that I thought was on a bit longer than it was.
