@@JosephDillman what would've been neat is a crossover with Seven Days where Dr. Beckett leaps at the same time Frank happens to be using the backstep machine and they collide mid time-travel (and the leap gets to be kind of a rough ride in the process) and so Dr. Beckett winds up home....sort of...albeit slightly in the future and in someone else's body
Quantum Leap was simply a brilliant show that used so many different genres to propel the narrative and overall plot. Oh I do genuinely miss that show for a number of reasons.
that is what made the show work, not just the time traveling part, but also the unique chemistry between Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell, they just really clicked. The time traveling part was fun, but if the two main actors don't really click, the show would not have worked. Bakula and Stockwell really where a joy watch.
Yes but could they talk back to you and have a computer to give you information on certain events in time? Far as I know that wasn't untill they got internet on phones. Also the internet wasn't even hardly known back then untill computers got into every home and schools in the late 90s.
The idea was Pitched but they took so long for a Reboot that Dean didn't make it. After years of Fans asking too. Now they're doing a Quantum Leap sequel that _Scott Bakula_ is not even interested in doing a Cameo in. If _Dean Stockwell_ was still Alive both of them would have. Maybe not the entire series but a couple Episodes would've been Cool.
A couple of years ago, I asked Dean Stockwell what his favorite episode of each year was for "Quantum Leap". He said he didn't remember a lot of them due to his age, but "The Last Gunfighter" left an impression on him.
I don't know what people are bitching about. Dean's as funny as he ever was and doesn't seem the least bit disinterested in the convention. You can tell how much he and Scott enjoyed working together; hell, the friendship between the characters of Sam and Al is what MADE "Quantum Leap!" As for all the schedule changes from the network, I personally never had an issue with them and I never missed an episode. Back in those days the VCR was my FiOS! As for the way the series ended, sure I was pissed but I loved the show enough to buy all five seasons on DVD.
I too have all the episodes on DVD and it is my favourite TV show of ANY GENRE and Back To The Future is my all time favourite movies vie trilogy. Time Travel is my favourite type of Sci-Fi. In fact apart from Star Wars and Predator the Sci-Fi movies I really like are time travel ones. So I'm more of a Time Travel geek than a general Sci-fi geek although I don't like Dr Who. Most other time travel movies/shows/novels' main Sci-Fi is the mode of time travel with the rest being the logic of changing the past or the future without aliens or different dimensions as well in Doctor Who.
@@VolkXue hearing troubles tend to happen the older ya get *shrug* though I think it's the digestive system that starts "going ka-ka" first...in my early 30's I was already experiencing not being able to eat spicy foods anymore and having to cut back on a lot of my favorite things LOL
MINIMOTOMADNESS I got to meet Dean about four years ago, at a convention in Dallas. He's almost 80 now, so anyone expecting him to be very energetic would probably be disappointed. I remember asking him what he thought of celebs now, complaining about their lack of privacy. He just shrugged, and said "Its part of the job".
The young boy asking the question is so sweet .I wonder why those Mic are never audible especially when you are " soft " spoken like dean Stockwell seemed to be .
Quantum Leap...What was an amazing time! Thanks for my happy childhood... But i can't watch this video...nostalgy... When i'm watching it I realize that QL is over, I grew up and Sam Beckett never returned home...
Hard to believe this was 10 years ago already. RIP Dean Stockwell. Would have been nice to have him around for the Quantum Leap reboot, but apparently, Al Calavicci's daughter should be making an appearance!
Sadly I heard Dean suffered a few strokes some years ago and now no longer remebers his acting career. He's 84 now and living in New Zealand with his daughter the last I heard
A friend of mine who is a producer for a local news show (and is a HUGE Q.L. fan) actually wrote a script for a Quantum Leap movie and it is AWESOME. Its kind of like the same thing they did with Peter in FRINGE. Al did live happily ever after but he kept having flashes of this friendship with Sam and the Quantum Leap project from the original timeline before Sam saved Al's marriage. After a while the flashes become more clear and Al becomes compelled to search for his friend. It is really good.
Well season 6 was suppose to have Al search for Sam in person. The new quantum my theory is that Al's daughter is trying to carry on his dad wishes of finding Sam. The last episode of season 5, Al says I will find a way to bring you back after hearing Sam talk about God talking to him. He died wanting to bring Sam home and I think the new guy is helping look for Sam.
Al's costumes were so awesome! I loved them all. Great to see these 2 together again, thanks for the upload! Wish they had more seasons & episodes but we can all write our own fan fiction to keep it going in our minds lol
@@ignacio633 Hello and welcome back from your 9 year coma. The last episode is not uploaded (to watch) on RU-vid. Neither was it 9 years ago when I made this comment.
I'm a huge Quantum Leap fan and an even BIGGER Time Travel geek. Quantum Leap is my favourite TV ever. I loved the part in this video where Dean couldn't get the microphone to work in the same way that Al ALWAYS had trouble getting his hand link to work properly. In fact I thought at one stage Al(sorry Dean) was going to hit the microphone with the palm of his hand.😂😂🎤🎙️Looking at this video I realise how well the parts of Sam and Al were cast as I can't imagine anyone else but Scott and Dean playing them although that might be a problem if a Quantum Leap movie was ever made. Having said that I would be the first in the queue at my local cinema to see it.
RIP Dean Stockwell. They waited so long for a Reboot that he didn't make it for the Quantum Leap sequel. After years of Fans asking too. Now they're doing a Quantum Leap that Scott Bakula is not even interested in doing a Cameo in. If Dean was still Alive both of them would have. Maybe not the entire series but a couple Episodes which would've been Cool.
I'm currently watching this again on netflix, this was one of my favourite tv shows in the 90s, its actually still good watching it now after all these years, i'm suprised its never been made into a movie.
Quantum Leap is a great show. I like how they deal with the issues, complexities and bigotry commonly found in society. I watch the program on COMET over the air TV channel.
It's free on NBC and you don't have to pay for the service. Only downside is the ads every 10 or so minutes. It's pretty much the same as watching on tv with commercials just you can watch all of them in order and at any time.
Thank you so much for posting this! Quantum Leap was one of my ALL TIME favourite shows! I lucked out a while back & saw it ALL on DVD at Costco, and I grabbed it up, thinking someday my daughter might like to see it... well "someday" is now! We're on Season 4, and I love it as much now as I did then. My daughter loves it more than any "modern" show -- she can recite the intro from heart. I`ve been catching up with Scott on youtube a bit, but I'm so glad to see Dean again! YAY We love you guys!
my sister and I have enjoyed the series for long periods of time . Dean has been acting since early childhood daya if anyone ever remembers him as a kid in movies I am gonna research them online .
They should do a one off special, deans getting old now but not to old to revisit. Just get it done. Early 90s me and the Mrs loved this series. 🏴🤝🇺🇲
The whole leaping into a baby and a cartoon character. both intriguing ideas although I'm not so sure how that would have been implicated practically or story-wise into an episode. Fun fact : Sam did leap into a baby in the very last Quantum leap comic book number 13
He did portray a Englishman in a episode of Alfred Hitchcock when he was like 20 yrs. in interviews I've seen he's very soft spoken but honest the same time .
Scott Bakula hasn't changed a bit! He always looks exactly the same. Dean Stockwell looks a little bit older now with the grey hair and he seems to have gained more wrinkles on his face. Regardless of that, he looks pretty good. I have always loved Quantum Leap. That was such a great show with an incredibly brilliant one of a kind fantasy plot. It sure would be neat if we could go back in time and fix whatever went wrong to be right, but at least the show was breathtaking. ~Dutch
The strangest thing is based on the interview Donald Bellisario gave on Archive of American television he said "And I never explained who was leaping Sam, was it god, fate, what it was." But supposedly leaked details online describe what was supposed to happen in the next season. Sam would leap into the future beyond his own lifetime, onto space station. Then we'd learn he could control his leaps and Al would leap to try brining him back to the present he knew. The bartender was not god but supposed to be an alien that could also leap. That's about all the details I could find but whether it's true or not who knows.
I am absolutely loving this video, but it's killing me to watch it because I live just 20 miles away from Philly and I MISSED them!!! :( With the exception of some Xena actors, I would gladly trade every celebrity I have met at any convention if I could just go back in time to June 2012 and meet Scott and Dean. Please come back to Philly next year, Scott!
How could I have missed this I literally live 4 miles from where this took place?Maybe I should build a time machine so I can leap back to catch this interview
We should petition them to do it. Worked for Betty White. She's hotter than ever. And what the production people for some reason don't understand, if they use the same people not only will they produce a classic-- but they'ed make even more money.
It's actually a bit backwards. A lot of the places these actors are asked to go, they don't even get paid enough to compensate for their trip and time. There were actually a couple of places who asked Scott and Dean to show up at their events, but told them they weren't getting paid zip. If you see these guys show up ANYWHERE and do this type of thing, it's because they want to do it. Not for any money.
QL is my favourite US show and I hope it comes back. Although a lot of it is old fashioned and wouldn’t maybe hold up in today’s world (the white saviour scenario in ‘Black on White on Fire’ is particularly offensive today) it did always have good intentions and was so entertaining. Fingers crossed it comes back with Scott and Dean one day although at this rate Mr Stockwell may not wish to come out of retirement.
Bellasario just do the decent thing and push for a QL movie send off. Its been 20yrs of hate for how it ended and Sam never went home.... NBC need to grow some testes too!!!
I live 5 miles from Philly. It's July 27, 2014 now. If anyone knows if these guys will ever return to Philly, I'd appreciate it if someone would be kind enough to let me know. Thank you.
