The plot tells the story of Dr. Samuel Becket quantum scientist (Scott Bakula), who, researching time travel, to a machine that moves your mind to different bodies in the past in the area of your life. As sidekick is his friend, Admiral Albert Calavicci (Dean Stockwell), who appears as a hologram projected from the present and that only he can see and hear.The series spans several genres, including science fiction, drama, comedy, social commentary and nostalgia, thereby achieving a broad spectrum of fans.
After each episode, Sam leaps back to another person, giving viewers a preview of what will happen in the next episode.Despite struggling on Friday nights at 21:00 on his first brief spell, surprisingly NBC renewed the series due to its impressive 18-49. The series moves to Wednesdays at 22:00 flourished against other highly successful series, Wiseguy and China Beach. He moved twice more off Wednesday (Fridays at 8 PM in the fall of 1990 and on Tuesdays at 20:00 in the fall of 1992), which failed. The series finale aired in its successful Wednesday at 10 pm in May 1993.In 2004 and 2007, Quantum Leap was ranked # 15 and # 19 in TV Guide "at the top of cult series".In a secret base of U.S. government, somewhere in New Mexico, in the near future (about 1994), the scientist Sam Beckett and Gushie working in a particle accelerator with Al Calavicci as project manager and the computer Ziggy . Sam tries to prove that time is different in the atomic structures to give a practical use. Pressed for results in the project, Sam decides to enter the particle accelerator and fades, waking up with amnesia in a house that does not know, in 1956, where the image reflected in the mirror is not his. Soon appears Al (Dean Stockwell), as neurological hologram projected from the present, that only Sam can see and hear, to tell him that his body and mind have somehow traveled in time, taking the place of other people from other time, preserving the physical aura replaced. That is why none of the people from the past such replacement note, except alienated people or children under five, who can see beyond the physical aura.Al explains that "jump" from life to life, within your own timeline, ie between any date from the day of his birth and death.
Each episode follows a fixed pattern: Sam appears as if by chance, driven by an unknown force, sharing time and space with a guest, and from there you have to improvise a lifetime, with the help of Ziggy (hybrid computer created by Sam ) through Al, that tells what it is intended to do to improve the events that ended badly in the past. When the timeline has been altered for good, Sam jumps again and appears in the case of the next episode.It should be noted that while Sam is taking the place of others, while they are in the time of Dr. Beckett, taking his place, with his physical aura, in a room at Secret Project Quantum Leap, called "Waiting Room" . There are questioned by psychologist Project, Ziggy fueling more information.
Thus, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, correcting what went wrong in the past. Waiting, every time he takes another leap, that this is "the leap home."... (more)(less)
"Dr. Sam Beckett
Scott plays this character so well. Sam is loveable, charismatic and thought-provoking. He adapts to innumerable situations, always thinking of everyone else first.

"Quantum Leap, “The Boogieman”
As Dr. Sam Beckett, Scott Bakula spent five seasons working to make the world a better place, swapping places with people throughout history and “trying to right what once went wrong.” Generally, this meant mending broken hearts, facing oppression, and trading quips with his holographic best friend Al (Dean Stockwell), but early in the show’s third season, Beckett leaped into a dark place indeed, taking the place of horror novelist Joshua Rae in “The Boo"

"Notes: Looking back, the premise sounds so lame and silly but this show was really addictive. I watched it everyday with my brother and sister. Very entertaining.
