Quantum Leap was one of the most satisfying Sci-Fi series on TV. QL ran from March 26, 1989 to May 5, 1993, on NBC for five seasons with a total of 95 episodes. But even with all those episodes "Leapers" (as fans are known as) were quite disappointed with the series finally, but there's hope.
The Sci-Fi channel is currently trying to develop a new QL series which will introduce fans to a new female lead "Leaper", the new project will not have Scott Bakula involved with this project. The IESB was told that Sci-Fi will try to re-imagine the entire series just like they did with Battlestar Galactica but word has it that this project is very much running out of fuel.
If the Sci-Fi channel project does not pick up speed in the very near future both Don Bellisario and Scott Bakula intend to bring Quantum Leap to the "Big Screen". The big screen adaptation would try to address all the questions that were left unanswered on during the last season.
Insiders believe that if the TV project does not get off the ground within the next few months, Quantum Leap: The Movie should be a reality around 2006.
Oh Boy!
Show synopsis
Scott Bakula (STAR TREK - ENTERPRISE) starred as brilliant scientist Sam Beckett, who in experimenting with time travel, loses himself in a perpetual warp that catapults him into the bodies and lives of random people throughout time. While he temporarily inhabits a person's body, Sam also must solve a problem or mystery in that person's life (the solving of which triggers another jump). Continually trying to find a way to his home time, Sam has the help of Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci (Dean Stockwell), who appears, only to Sam, in hologram form, and the supercomputer Ziggy (voiced by Deborah Pratt), which provides clues for solving each episode's mystery.
