#QUANTUM LEAP STREAMING SERIES#

Plenty of the themes from the original series could still be explored during this time span. By setting a new Quantum Leap in the current decade and making the new Sam the same age (mid-40s), the new adventures could span from the 1970s up to the present time. Consequently, the time travel periods were limited to the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 1990s. And now here we have the actual video of this scene. Then Matt Dale confirmed with Richard Herd that there had been a day of filming dedicated to this scene by reviewing the shooting script. One of the hooks of the original Quantum Leap was that Sam could only 'leap' within his own lifetime. Then Allison Pregler of the Quantum Leap Podcast made a startling find: publicity photo negatives of this scene. Personally I think it makes more sense to have a new cast and set it in the 21st century. Scott Bakula currently stars on CBS' NCIS: New Orleans and Dean Stockwell (who played Sam's holographic sidekick Al) is eighty-two years old and hasn't acted in five years. Regardless, I think it's highly unlikely that if a new version of Quantum Leap happens that it would involve the old cast. In 2009 the SyFy channel briefly considered a reboot with a new cast, but that ultimately fell through. This is not the first talk of a Quantum Leap revival. In an interview with SlashFilm regarding the time travel television show Bader stated, 'That's one I know everyone is discussing.' While more than a little vague, my twelve-year old self desperately wants this to be true. With revivals of Saved By The Bell and Punky Brewster set to kick off production soon, NBC head of programming Jeff Bader recently revealed that Quantum Leap is under consideration as well. Well in an effort to reboot and remake everything in their back catalog, NBC's upcoming streaming service The Peacock is looking to bring back Quantum Leap for a new generation. It's the first television show I remember being moved to tears on several occasions. Sam Beckett (NECESSARY ROUGHNESS actor Scott Bakula) as he traveled through time and 'put right what once went wrong.' During it's run the program examined a variety of topics including the Watts Riots, racism, the Vietnam war, homosexuality, and so much more. The show, which ran for five seasons and totaled ninety-seven episodes, followed the exploits of Dr. Bellisario program was so much more than science fiction. I've always been obsessed with time travel and the Donald P. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, will produce in association with I Have an Idea! Entertainment, Belisarius Productions and Quinn’s House Productions.Despite the fact that NBC's Quantum Leap has, in my opinion, the worst television ending in history, I can't stress how much I love that show. Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt will write the reboot and executive produce with Don Bellisario, Deborah Pratt and Martin Gero.
