But even with devoted fans devouring every new detail, there's quite a few interesting facts about the series that might have been buried in the intervening decades. Quantum Leap (1989-1993) is a NBC Cult Classic series. Combining science-fiction and drama with a hint of comedy and a splash of adventure, the original series ran four and a half seasons. On March 26, 1989, NBC aired the pilot for a television show that would have a fan cult following decades after the series ended on May 5th, 1993. The episode takes its name from a Quantum Leap first: Sam gazes into the mirror behind the mysterious, more-than-he-seems bartender (played to perfection by Bruce McGill ), sees his own reflection, and realizes he’s made his first-ever leap as himself rather than jumping, as he always had, into another person’s body. It rewards close watching while also putting on something that could be enjoyed by more passive viewers. Welcome to Als Place - A Quantum Leap Fan Site - Main Page. Showrunner Donald Bellisario rewarded that trust with an ingenious show about endearing characters that lasted for five seasons.Īt its core, it's a television writing master stroke, a premise that stays fresh by running "problem of the week" episodes and the longer narrative of Beckett trying to regain his memory simultaneously. Starting the series with a movie-length episode that featured fighter pilots crashing multiple jets had to be no small ask of the number crunchers. The concept is a big lift for first time viewers. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Leap debuted in 1989 and is an amazing artifact of the sort of big swings hegemonic network television could occasionally take. A QUANTUM LEAP sequel series is in the works at NBC.
