DVD Reviews of Quantum Leap - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: All the KICKASS SONGS are missing
Summary: 3 Stars
In M.I.A....when Sam realizes Al is connected to Beth and sees her picture...the song "This Guy's in Love" by Herb Alpert plays...at the end "Georgia On My Mind" of course...instead we get stock-filler elevator crap.
And the leap-in for "One Strobe Over the Line" was Fingertips by Stevie Wonder...PERFECT FOR THAT LEAP..when I first saw it I felt like..wow...they captured the differences from the leap previous to the next..the former of the two leaps being set in the early 60's, and the next in the mid 60's..hairstyles different....the times not as innocent...QL did this with gusto....a late 60's episode was completely different from a mid 60's, mid 70's, or early 50's episode..."A Single Drop of Rain" could have been a leap from Al's lifetime whereas "Good Morning Peoria" the episode with Jerry Adler from the Soprano's, "Miss Deep South" and "Rebel Without a Clue", ...captured the 50's as they were coming into their own..and then we have M.I.A. which was more the grittiness of the streets of the california streets in the 60's...with that latin funk backdrop at the takedown scene at the end (thank God for that)...then you have the disco era in "Private Dancer" "Disco Inferno" and the softer side of that era (away from the city lights) in Trilogy Part III (set in 1978). If there was some sort of revival written and produced by the same people..I could only imagine what justice they would have given the 80's and 90's as opposed to the crap "Cold Case" puts out..though I love lily rush and the show is poignant it needs to do its homework in terms of portraying an era...making every 50's episode in black & white like it was ancient? Come on. Quantum Leap YOU ROCK MY WORLD! Please bring it back, someone!! And don't mangle a great season finale show by throwing in filler music....do you realize how touching that final scene was....I used to suffocate when "georgia on my mind" came on the radio as a kid....after that show I never looked at that song the same way again....greediness left unchecked.
DVD Review: An Awesome Season!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really awesome show about a scientist named Dr. Sam Beckett who proves that time travel theory works by leaping into different people at different times within his lifetime. Sam receives help from a man named Al, who appears as a hologram that only Sam can see. I love when they show the 50's because I love the look, the style, the cars, and the music of the 50's! Throughout this season, Sam becomes a pilot of the experimental Bell X-2 aircraft, a baseball player, a college professor, a crooked boxer, a black man in the south, and more! I highly recommend QUANTUM LEAP: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON!!!DVD Review: Quantum Leap - Season One

DVD Review: Quantum Leap
Summary: 4 Stars
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!"?
DVD Review: Play it again, Sam
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Description of Quantum Leap - The Complete First Season
Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and Vanished...He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.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
