Despite its short run (March 1989 - May 1993), Quantum Leap is nevertheless one of the more memorable dramatic series in television history. Although the show borrows from a concept employed in other realms, such as Highway To Heaven (with its theme of a mysterious force interceding to transform a single life), it adds a unique twist by utilizing elements of science fiction. Created by Donald P. Bellisario (creator of Magnum, P.I., JAG, and countless other hit shows), Quantum Leap developed a loyal cult following, making its short network run all the more difficult to understand Quantum Leap stars Scott Bakula as Dr. Samuel "Sam" Beckett, a cutting-edge experimental researcher in the field of physics. Developing a theory that an individual can travel throughout the span of his life, Beckett builds the Quantum Leap Accelerator and uses himself as the test subject. But rather than traveling within his own lifetime, Beckett finds himself mysteriously transported into the lives of various individuals, each of whom faces a problem Beckett must rectify (thus changing history for the better). When he does, he can make his next "quantum leap" (which he hopes will restore him to his pre-experiment self). Aiding Beckett on his various missions is Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci (Dean Stockwell), one of the quantum leap experiment observers who periodically appears as a hologram in order to communicate with Beckett. With each new episode, Beckett finds himself in a new body, facing new circumstances, with a new mission he must decipher and complete if he ever hopes to return home The Quantum Leap (Season 3) DVD features a number of action-packed episodes including the season premiere "The Leap Home" in which Sam first leaps into his own life, giving him the chance to win his high school basketball championship. Sam then leaps into the lives of other people associated with close family members, as well as those associated with Al, who was a P.O.W. during Vietnam Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Miss Deep South" in which Sam must come to the aid of a wrongfully disgraced beauty pageant contestant, and "A Little Miracle" in which Sam becomes an employee of a wealthy contractor displaying many of the characteristics of a modern day "Scrooge" Below is a list of episodes included on the Quantum Leap (Season 3) DVD: Episode 32 (The Leap Home: Part 1 - November 25, 1969) Air Date: 09-28-1990 About the Author Britt Gillette is author of The DVD Report, a blog where you can find more reviews like this one of the Quantum Leap (Season 3) DVD.
