Quantum Leap is one of my favorite TV shows. I can't imagine having one season and not having all of them. For that reason, I would not hesitate to recommend season 5. I had heard that some of the original music was replaced on some of the seasons because of some copyright thing. This made me hesitate to buy, but in the end I chose to buy the series sets anyway. It was the only way to have them. I don't regret buying them and didn't miss the omitted or replaced music. Do some research to make sure I am correct about the music. Others say that region 2 has the original music, so if you have a player that plays region 2, you are set. Either way, it is still a great set. Series 5 completes my collection. Quantum Leap is a daring sci-fi series that depicts the idea of time travel and was successful. It's funny and serious, captivating and clean. In my mind it's the first of its kind to take time travel and make it believable. And the fact that it lasted 5 seasons makes it impressive. More impressive is that it's fun to watch over and over. It seems to me that it lead the way into a whole new kind of TV show. Unique in it’s time.Read full review
OK.... Gotta Admit.... I Am A Leaper !!! Quantum Leaper That Is !!! .... or at least a recovering one.... I started taping the very first show in March of 1989 on my VCR, and taped them all by the time the show ended in May 1993. All 97 episodes, yep all 97 eps that aired on NBC-TV, taped on VHS tapes. I knew the show was going to be something special, as I didn't normally tape shows back then. I went to the first Creation sponsored Quantum Leap Con in Los Angeles, and went to each sucessive one that the QL Fans put on in LA & Burbank. I bought all the QL fan magazines, and there were at least four that ran for a few years! Plus the fan fiction, some of that was really strange!! Naturally I bought all the Quantum Leap Comics as they came out, and picked up extras for the stars to sign at the cons, and the artists and writer of the comics. The comic book series ran for 13 issues, plus one special reprint, and an annual. The comic book started in September 1991 and ended August 1993. Funny thing was, there had to be eight females to every two males that were attending the cons. Basically the females were there to see Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell... the bidding at the bidding at the auctions for items that Scott wore on the show or the Murphy Brown show were bid exceedingly high! I attended the cons because it was the first TV Show Based convention that I had attended and I just kept going! I really enjoyed meeting the actors who were on epsiodes like Richard Herd.... but no, Teri Hatcher never showed up! As for the DVD of the Fifth and Final Season... Seeing these shows on DVD without commercials is the only way to go now! Buy all of these in the series and enjoy !! MichaelRead full review
Quantum Leap was a wonderful look at history through the eyes of those who lived it. Dr. Sam Beckett was a reluctant time traveler; a victim of his own experiment who found he could travel back in time, but only over the course of his own lifetime, so he was able to re-live signifcant times and events that occured after his own birth. He would be implanted into the 'body' of someone in a certain time period, such as an Air Force test pilot, a pregnant woman, or even very significant figures from history, such as Lee Harvey Oswald. He was then tasked with helping them resolve whatever issue had brought him into his host's life, so he could 'leap' into another body, and hopefully, one day, leap back home to his own time. An excellent series for both sci-fi and history buffs.
Enjoyed Quantum leaps final season, enjoyed all the engaging characters and plots and esp. the humor of the final season. Surely this is one of the best sci-fi shows out their!
