'Quantum Leap' on NBC: Sci-fi show to celebrate reboot with a drive-thru experience into 1985
2022, has been the year of reboots. The year started with 'And Just like that', 'Sex and the City' reboot, and now by fall we have 'Quantum Leap' on NBC. The old 'Quantum Leap' which was an 80s show is back with a reboot or shall I say the sixth season with a new cast, new protagonist, same storyline.
If you are not a boomer and haven't watched the series, you ought to as the older series was ahead of its time and had all the viewers back then at the edge of their seats. The older series used to star Scott Bakula as Dr Sam Beckett, a physicist who involuntarily leaps through spacetime during experiments in time travel, by temporarily taking the place of other people to correct what he consistently discovers were historical mistakes. There were two title cards tacked on to the end of the last episode of the 80s series; one read that Al’s first wife Beth never remarried, so they were still married in the present day and had four daughters. The last title card said, "Sam Becket never returned home."
