Product Description:

Amazon.com:
They'll be dancing (well, leaping maybe) in the streets now that the first season of Quantum Leap, voted one of the 25 best cult series ever by TV Guide, has come to home video, a decade after its final year (1994) on the air (the pilot episode was released on DVD in '98). And why shouldn't they? This is a show, called "an imaginative diversion" by one critic, with a good premise that's cleverly and skillfully conceived, written, acted, and produced--ample evidence of which is spread out over three discs, each containing three episodes (plus some fairly meager extras) from the first season.

Scott Bakula, in the role that made him a star, plays Sam Beckett, a scientist who's part of a time-travel experiment that "went a little... ka-ka." Unable to return to his own time, and aided only by Al (Dean Stockwell, whose rapport with Bakula is one of the series' most appealing elements), his cigar-smoking, peculiar-dressing, sex-obsessed, holographic "enabler," Sam "leaps" unpredictably from one time period and person to another, usually completely out of his element (as a pilot, a boxer, a cowboy, an English lit professor, even an elderly black man in segregated '50s Alabama) and always in a situation that needs to be "made right" before he can leap onward. Generous helpings of humor, drama, physical action, and sentimentality (this is TV, after all) keep things moving, as do references to many other classic films and genres (Driving Miss Daisy in "The Color of Truth," Casablanca in "Play it Again, Seymour," boxing in general in "The Right Hand of God") and what creator Donald Bellisario calls the occasional "kiss with history" (Sam crosses paths with the young Buddy Holly and Michael Jackson, among others). It doesn't all work, as Quantum Leap occasionally becomes too cute and facile for its own good. But that and the set's paucity of bonus material (limited to one passable featurette and brief episode intros by Bakula) are the only real shortcomings of a boxed set that will likely earn multiple spins in the DVD player. --Sam Graham

- Quantum Leap - Season One
The DVD was in excellent condition, and it was wonderful watching Quantum Leap Again. You are always wonderful in your deliveries, right on time, and any returns I have had to send back, has been credited properly and a replacement has been sent to me immediately.

Your customer service is great.

Thank you.

- Quantum Leap
Not your standard Sci-fi series; funny and quirky with plenty of excitement and heart-tugging moments too. Scott Bacula and Dean Stockwell do some fine acting. Impressive effects considering when it was made.
How many ways can you say, "Oh boy!"?

- Play it again, Sam
Theorizing that he could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the quantum accelerator and onto dvd. Years later after the series ended Quantum Leap still has that spark that drew me in when i was younger. i watch each episode now with the same wonder in my eyes as i did many years ago. As many fans of this show know Sam never made it home but at least he will have a home in my dvd collection.

- THE MUSIC!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice... go to amazon.co.uk and order the British releases of these DVDs, if you have a player that will support them. They use the ORIGINAL music, not the stuff on the DVDs released in the U.S. Also, if you do the conversion, they cost the same if not less even with shipping. Please also do not order the British complete package, as you cannot play the final episode, according to several posters. Get each season separately. It adds up to about the same. I live ...

- Putting right what once went wrong...
I have been striving to see them put right what has been wrong for so very long, what with Quantum Leap not being released on DVD. Now that it is finally out, my next leap will be a leap home, so I can sit in front of my TV and watch all five seasons. :)
