Quantum Leap - The Ultimate Collection [DVD] (Repackaged) [1989]

Great series. Missed a lot of the episodes due to a flaming degree. Which got me a good job.

I used to watch Quantum Leap when it started on TV, it was part of after school ritual, the show was so unique from others in that every episode was different and you never really knew what was going to happen next. The main characters Sam and Al are so well acted by both actors that it makes it hard to only watch one episode at a time, the stories are always interesting which is so rare to find in a modern tv show. The picture quality of the DVDs are very good and look very sharp when upscaled on my Blu-Ray player, I am looking forward to introducing my children to this wonderful series, if you are looking for a quality family or sci-fi show you can`t go wrong with Quantum Leap. Great transfer and quality tv, I can`t wait to start watching it from the beginning again.

Wow! First of all a MASSIVE thank you to Amazon and Everythingsfantastic for such a speedy delivery. As stated in my feedback i wasn't expecting this item until after the 4th of October so imagine my gobsmacked face when it turned up on the 1st!!! Just 2 days after placing the order!! Anyway, i haven't seen any of the episodes yet, this review is based on what i remember some 20 odd years ago when it was first aired on TV and, next to "The X-Files" it's one of the best TV shows of the 1990's, the episodes varying every week from hilarious, weird, and all of them utterly fantastic, not knowing where, when, or sometimes how (!), he was going to turn up. Watching the discs will only enhance my viewing pleasure by conjuring up those memories of a truly brilliant TV show. If you haven't seen it, or are indeed too young to remember it then i can heartily reccomend it to anyone and everyone. Thanks again Amazon for the speedy delivery, this is one happy chappy!! :)

I became an avid fan of Quantum Leap when it was first aired on TV. Having bought the box set for myself for Christmas I am now introducing it to my teenage children as we work our way through many hours of excellent family viewing. The idea of a scientist who leaps from one body to another during different periods in his lifetime enables the makers of the series to show off a wide variety of genres from the 1950s to the 1970s - with classic clothing, cars and scenery to match. It tackles sometimes challenging issues - Southern States segregation, prejudice against the Japanese, the horror of Vietnam, blindness, women establishing themselves in the workplace, gang violence - as well having fun with topics like the birth of Rock and Roll, a college fraternity house and 70s disco. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) is a rather untypical "action hero", as a scientist with lots of hidden talents who is also very handy in a fight and contrasts with his buddy Al (Dean Stockwell), who materialises in holographic form to advise Sam on what to do, partly based on information from a temperamental computer (Ziggy), but also relying on Al's vast experience of life, including life in an orphanage, being captured in Vietnam and more marriages than he can remember. Together they make a great team. Sam often gets to kiss some beautiful women, while Al's tangled love life sometimes distracts him from being there when Sam needs him most. The episodes where Sam leaps into a woman's body are some of the most entertaining as Scott Bakula in drag is anything other than feminine. The characters are great, the cast is well selected and the acting excellent. So far, apart from one "horror" episode (where the devil appears as Al which was rather disturbing) they follow a pattern of: (a) Sam arrives somewhere new and has to get to grips with who he is, where he is, and what he is here to do (b) Sam is faced with one or more challenges to overcome - sometimes not always the ones you might expect - and often a particular individual he has to stand up to (c) Sam's extensive experience as multi talented scientist with a historical perspective and ju-jitsu skills enable him to overcome the challenge - usually with thrills and spills along the way (d) Against the odds, he changes someone's life for the better and their future is transformed (e) Just when he is kissing the girl, he leaps onto his next challenge. These programmes have a real "feel good" factor and it's nice to find a series that I can watch with my wife and children which all of us can enjoy, while getting an insight into late 20th century America. The only thing that surprises me is that I've never seen any repeats of the series before, either on good old fashioned analogue TV or on Freeview. It definitely deserves a wider audience.

I have wanted this for so long! I absolutely love this show,that I discovered by chance whilst channel hopping when I was about fifteen(And we only had four channels back then!)With some of the other reviewers citing problems with the playback of the last disc,I played this first and there were no problems,I have noticed a spelling error on the sleeve of the season two case,the last disc,which has two episodes on it,the first episode reads as "Sea Bridge"-this should say "Sea Bride" (It's the one with Brooke Shields)it's spelt correctly on the disc though.Other reviewers have also said that some music has been substituted,so far the only substitute I've noticed is in the episode "Temptation Eyes"-where Sam is a News Reporter-in the scene where Sam and Tamlyn are getting er,up close and personal,I seem to remember the music as being "I want To Know What Love Is" by Foreigner when I watched the show on television,on the dvd,it's been replaced with an instrumental piece. But all in all I'm ecstatic with my purchase and am not ashamed to say that I spent a good twenty minutes hugging the box when it arrived! Gorgeous,sexy Sam is mine forever and ever!

So, I ordered this for my birthday back in september and it came alright. I haven't reviewed it because I wanted to actually watched all the episodes and see if all discs worked alright. On that camp, I have no issues: the box it's super sturdy and protects the disc cases inside, the discs were all used but in relatively good shape (the TV-show is really old, so the quality is not the best and it doesn't come with any sort of subtitles nor extras). One episode is present in two different discs, but I think That's got more to do with whomever was in charge of the dvd set production. All in all, I am pretty happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone who wants to catch up with one of the greatest shows of the 90's.

Great

I have seen some episodes of this on TV in the year before purchased this box set and I loved it. If you are a big Quantum Leap fan, I recommend this box set. The two main actors are amazing and the writers came up with so many different scripts through out this series life. I have watched all the series over a few times and I still love it. If you've never seen how they ended this series, you should. It brought tears to my eyes every time I watched it. It's beautiful, touching and a great finale. But I won't spoil it for you. Buy it today :)

This was not a Christmas present but my daughter loved it, it was a birthday present

Bought the complete Quantum Leap DVD set because apparently streaming services weren’t complicated enough—I needed to own a physical collection of a show about a man constantly jumping through time. Honestly, it feels appropriate. The show is fantastic, the nostalgia is strong, and having the entire series on DVD means I can now watch it whenever I want without worrying about some streaming service deciding it has “leaped” to another platform. Also, watching Sam Beckett jump into the past has made me realize something: If I could leap into any point in my own timeline, I’d probably go back five minutes before making most of my Amazon purchases. Then I’d leap forward to the delivery date. 5 stars for the show. 5 stars for the nostalgia. And 1 star for whoever invented streaming subscriptions.

Que buena serie clasica! Que buenos recuerdos de mi infancia! No viene doblada al castellano, pero si subtitulada. La recomiendo a todo el mundo.

以前、テレビで古いこのドラマが放送されてて、たまたま観てたんですが、その時は吹き替え版でした。 主役のサムが偶然タイムループに入り込んでしまい、相棒のアル(と言ってもホログラム状態での登場)の協力のもとにこれからその時代で起こる悲劇を未然に防いで未来を変えて解決すると、また別の時代へタイムリープするというのを繰り返します。 タイムリープの仕方が変わってて、サムの姿でリープするのではなく、その時代のキーマンの身体に乗り移る？のです。でも頭の中はサムです。 よって視聴者から見たら、コスプレしたサムを見てる感じです。 毎回、今回はどんな人物に乗り移ったか？が出だしでサムが鏡を見て視聴者からもわかるようになってます。 発送が古いドラマなのに新しいですよね！ それでハマって観てたのですが、最近、また観たくなり、検索したら、こちらのインポートしかなく。 国内版も発売されたらいいなぁ。 凄く良くできたドラマです。 オールシーズンが全て入ったBOXセットで、この価格はお買い得でした！

Amavo questo telefilm quelle rare volte che riuscivo a vederlo in tv e ritrovarlo, anche se in versione originale, mi ha dato una gioia immensa. la qualità è eccellente e la soddisfazione mia massima. In se non è niente di speciale la storia di un uomo molto paziente che viene sballottato avanti e dietro nel tempo e nei panni di diverse persone pre risolvere le loro vite come se la macchina del tempo avesse una sua teoria di cosa va corretto nel genere umano. Buffo l'ologramma dei All che lo segue e lo importuna dalla base centrale e gli assegna i compiti da svolgere. Consiglio questo acquisto a chi come me ha amato vederlo all'epoca e vuole rivivere certe storie un po' assurde.
