Quantum Leap Returns

This was one of my top 5 TV shows from my "growing up years":



And recently, I heard they were working on a reboot for 2022:



Very excited to watch and see what they've changed and what they've kept.

I really don't care who stars in the new version as NO ONE can compare to these 2:


(Scott Bakula "Sam" & Dean Stockwell "Al")


Fun fact:

Because NBC hadn’t told Quantum Leap’s producers whether they planned on renewing the show for another season, Bellisario had to wrap up the last episode of season five the best way he could, and write it as if they weren’t coming back. “Mirror Image—August 8, 1953” ended with Beckett deciding to keep leaping and not return home. Some fans felt the episode didn’t give a proper resolution to the show, but Bakula liked the ending.


“[Bellisario] left doors open. He wrapped some things up, he made people feel good, there was a ton of emotion in it—it was just a metaphor for the show that continues and lives on to this day,” Bakula told Zap2It. “I think it’s a beautiful ending. It was challenging, it was difficult, but I think it was the only answer. I like it. I like that Sam’s out there, and I like that Al got to make his life right.”

Here's hoping they don't screw with things too much.  It'd be great to have this new one last a few years.



Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
