One of my favorite shows from the 90's. And since there are numerous remakes being developed, may I pitch one more ~ Quantum Leap How cool would that be knowing what we know now?!
They should remake this. Would be a massive success, I think.
Just watched the whole series for the first time, absolutely loved the show, but wish they had ended it differently. Such a sad ending when you look at all he went through.

One of the best shows to exist. It had everything in it: comedy, sci-fi, mystery, action, wit, intellect, romance, and everything in between.
Still one of my top 10 favorite TV shows of all time! And Dr. Sam Beckett is in my top 5 favorite characters. I agree with the other posts...a remake of this show could be amazing.
I remember this show fondly.Very entertaining.
