![]() ![]() Other than Sam (portrayed by Scott Bakula) and Al (portrayed by Dean Stockwell) all of the characters and actors changed from week to week.Īt the end of the third season, Sam had been receiving electro-shock treatments. What was nice was that each episode pretty much stood on it’s own and had more in common with anthology series than any other. Each time he’s hoping that he ends up back where he started out initially. Once Sam has leaped into someone’s life, he’s there until he fixes something that went wrong in that person’s life, and then he “leaps” out. A hand-held computer he uses gives them information on who Sam is and why he’s possibly there. He appears at various times during an episode as a hologram that only Sam can see. The person he had leaped into was back in the building where the machine had been constructed.Īl is Sam’s only connection back to the project. Once he landed in a time and place, he had the look and voice of the person who’s life he’s taken over, although the audience only saw Sam. Yes, he traveled through his own lifetime, but he ended up “leaping” into other people’s lives. What happened next was totally unexpected. He used himself as the guinea pig and when he stepped into the machine, he vanished. Sam Beckett is a scientist who theorized that time travel was possible within one’s lifetime and created a machine, known as the Quantum Leap Accelerator to do just this. The premise of Quantum Leap was pretty simple. And you can’t forget the comedy, especially when Scott Bakula had to dress up as a woman! It took events in our past and let us have a short look into what it might have been like, then whisked us off someplace else. There were elements of drama as well as social commentary present in many of the episodes. Although it had science fiction elements, it wasn’t strictly a science fiction show. Quantum Leap was a television show that didn’t quite fit the mold of other television shows. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.All Creatures Great And Small (Original Series). ![]()
