"the majestic swell of Bear McCreary’s score. (Non-diegetic music is admissible as a dramatic choice of the fictional presenters. Also, because the tunes kill.) "

What if he lept into Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones?

I remember when Law & Order took over that slot (9pm central), and I just kept with it.  I was a loyal NBC Wednesday viewer for over a decade; basically from the moment Al picked up that girl on the New Mexico highway, to the day Assistant DA Annie Parisse was murdered in the line of duty.

@Crooked_Paul:disqus I wanted the remote controlled helicopter that could take spy photos.

Leave it to Kara Thrace to be unsettled by a peculiar character resolution…

Europe had been balancing on the edge of a cliff for years (Google "Tangier crisis"); you could stop Gavrilo Princip but the makings WWI went all the way back to (at least) the Franco-Prussian war.

The show's conceit is that his brain is "swiss cheesed" and basically he has no reliable episodic memory beyond what happens episode to…

In the first season the senate oversight committee paying for the Quantum Leap Project alleges as much — they think Beckett was killed, and since Al is the only person who can communicate with him (because "the hologram chamber only works with Al's brain waves"), he's keeping the pretense of Sam being alive in order…

As Bellisarius shows go, it wasn't such a terrible idea.  Probably better than leaping into Airwolf.

Naturally complicating matters is the fact that he uses one of his early leaps to set himself up with his own wife — or rather changing her life in a positive way, such that she never divorces him.

(After some further reading, apparently ESV is some sort of cult thing now and we will soon see an AV Club feature on it.)

I also seem to recall a Star Wars knockoff where the crew of the ship are all about 16.  IMDb informs me this was called "Earth Star Voyager".

Was he the guy with the lucky shirt?  And the bad guy has the laser guns that are all powered by a single MacGuffin reactor?

Fun fact: narrated by Bellesario's wife, sometime actor on the show, voice of Ziggy, and associate producer, Deborah Pratt.

Whenever Sam comes close to making a change that everyone on Earth would notice, he'd conveniently be inhabiting a monkey astronaut, or a mentally retarded person who's mental state had mysteriously rubbed off on him.  It felt a little forced, particularly in the Trilogy eps where they use the Forrest Gump Effect just…

MILD SPOILER

The Vangelis theme always sounded self-consciously religious, like he adapted an old Baptist hymn, particularly in the synth lead.  The rather modern-church-like appearance of Sagan's spaceship doesn't help matters.
