TV Series (1989-1993). 96 episodes. Doctor Sam Beckett led a group of top scientists into the desert to research his theory that a man could time travel within his own lifetime. Unfortunately, in order to save his funding, he was forced to enter the accelerator prematurely and vanished. He then found himself in someone else's body with partial amnesia.

Critics' reviews
  • "'Quantum Leap' for the most part is so excruciatingly slow and laborious that you wonder if director David Hemmings was trapped in his own time warp"
  • "A canny and clever series that makes hardware take a back seat to humanity"
  • "What it has going against it, is its sheer nutty illogic. Even science fiction is supposed to have some ground rules. God? Holograms? Amnesia? Come on! This thing is just nonsense.
  • "Familiar turf, but not bad, considering. Trouble is, the premise will wear out quickly"
  • "The premise holds out a prospect even more attractive in the late '80s than it would be in many other eras: escape from the present"
