Trivia:
Dean Stockwell was the first to "Leap" through time on an episode of the "The Twilight Zone: A Quality of Mercy (#3.15)" (1961), playing a war-hungry US Lt. in August, 1945. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Despite the fact that Al is a hologram, he clearly interacts with his environment. He casts shadows and reflections, and light reflects off his clothing. Also, it is quite clear that Scott Bakula is stepping around Dean Stockwell, though one could argue that this is just from force of habit on Sam's part. more
Quotes:
[about Al]
Sam: At last, something sexual he's NOT into.

A great show, and a TV legend, 19 July 2002
Author: seod1999 from California, USA

An absolutely perfect show. It wasn't too technical, it wasn't too Sci-fi. It had the drama of life, and offered some comedy at the same time. Instead of seeing the same person with the same people dealing with their own life, we saw many, many, many different lives all being influenced by one great man who in the end could be deemed a saint. I am happy that the show was able to finish, and just disappear like some other great shows. The show had a good conclusion. It was happy, but it wasn't sappy or ultra-moralistic and joyful. It was the perfect ending for such a case. There isn't a thing they could change about this show. The only thing they could do to make it worse would be to make a movie for TV. Those type of things usually ruin a good show. Quantum Leap though is definitely a TV legend.
