I've been catching up with this brilliant series from my youth thanks to the Science Channel. I forgot how great this show was.

Quick Tip by . June 19, 2010
Quantum Leap: one of the better sci-fi shows from the 90s that was cancelled well before its time. There were rumors that it was going to go into new production with the scientist's daughter continuing the jumps to find her father, but that never happened. Dean Stockwell was great in this one, but the last episode left more questions than answers for me. Excellent series: Netflix it!

Show summary

In the series' first episode, Sam appears in the past with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Referred to often throughout the series as the "swiss cheese effect," Sam's partial amnesia prevents him from remembering most of the details of his own life... all he knows is that he's not who everyone in the past seems to think he is. Fortunately Al Calavicci (Dean Stockwell), Sam's best friend, appears to him in holographic form and explains that Sam is the victim of a time travel experiment that "went a little caca." Now Sam is lost in time, and his colleagues are having difficulty "retrieving" him and bringing him back to his own time.

Sam soon learns that the man he replaced in the past (or "leaped into," in the show's parlance) is an Air Force test pilot who was about to be killed during a botched flight. Sam saves the man (as well as his wife and unborn child), believing that doing so might enable him to return to his own time, but soon "leaps" ...
