Trivia:
Quantum Leap came close to being canceled in its third season due to low ratings. However, a letter writing campaign helped save the series and enabled it to continue for two more years. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: Despite the fact that Al is a hologram, he clearly interacts with his environment. He casts shadows and reflections, and light reflects off his clothing. Also, it is quite clear that Scott Bakula is stepping around Dean Stockwell, though one could argue that this is just from force of habit on Sam's part. moreSoundtrack:

A highly imaginative idea from Donald P. Bellisario.
The selection of Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell to play the roles of Sam (the quantum leaper) and Al (Sam's advice-giving & holographic guide) was spot on.
The story lines were great. The series consisted mainly of fictional plots, interspersed with the odd story based on real life events. In addition, the show's original signature tune was great!
The acting, especially from Scott and Dean, was first class. In fact, you don't need to be a sci-fi buff to enjoy Quantum Leap ........ a Bellisario masterpiece!
________ 9 out of 10! ________
