KAMN Show #33: Quantum Leap
Welcome to Show #33!
Feature Discussion: Summer, David and Brian talk about the Emmy-winning series “Quantum Leap”, which ran on NBC from 1989-1993, starring Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell.
The Ninjas talk about the series, how the show’s setup and premise began with a fun and playful flavor, and progressed to a minor shift in season 4 and completely jumps the shark and loses its way in season 5.
There’s a breakdown and a serious nitpicking, especially on the episodes that went astray. Join in and have fun with us! This is a long show folks… enjoy!
The next KAMN show will be a discussion about the Larry Niven classic Ringworld.
Listener Feedback: Give us some! You can leave comments here for the show, or at the Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas Forum. If you want to leave a voicemail comment on anything we’ve discussed, you can call us at 206-666-5266.

I wonder if they cleaned the series up effects wise for international release. I clearly remember seeing the glowing door once in the pilot episode when it aired here in New Zealand. Consequently I was a bit surprised to hear David saying it wasn’t seen till later on in the series…
Maybe, maybe not. There are people to this day who swear they saw “To Be Continued…” at the end of Back to the Future during it’s initial theatrcial run.
Sam: “I don’t understand. I stopped the war with the Klingons, I helped found the Federation, why haven’t I leaped yet?”
Al: “Hug the hot Vulcan!”
one of the amazing things about quantum leap is that people who dont like sci fi really enjoyed this show. so i think it had a wide audience
