5/5 One of the best 80's shows comes to a close...
  by Andrew Bauer (Durham, NC)
Quantum Leap is by far one of the best TV series of the 80's and early 90's, and in my humble opinion, one of the better shows in the past 30 years. It managed, without gratuitous sex, nudity, or cursing to present a wonderful show that the whole family could watch, and tackled many issues head-on (racism, sexism, the Vietnam War, etc.) And the whole theme of the show--someone putting right what once went wrong--was perfect, and was very inspirational. In this 5th and final season, you get to see some of the best episodes of the series, and some of the most memorable. I have seen the comments by others on the final episode, and how it ended things abruptly, but I beg to differ. I thought it was a perfect wrap-up to a series that (thankfully) didn't try to overstay its welcome. Many other series have tried to push their lifespans to the point where they're not fresh anymore--but not Quantum Leap. Other series never get the chance to wrap up before they're cancelled (especially these days--how'd you like the endings to Joan Of Arcadia and Tru Calling? Oops, forgot--they didn't have one). Quantum Leap not only got to wrap things up, they did so in the most memorable of fashions. This is a gem of a series, and this final season is the sparkle in that gem.

5/5 The Final Season...

While there are still a few "bad" ideas here, overall this season pushed forward to its very satisfying conclusion.

The "evil" leaper idea was pretty good, but honestly, it fell flat. We have to suspend disbelief a little more than normal to accept its premise. That done, and by concentrating on the story that parallels in each of the episodes they're in, you get by and still enjoy the stories.

The concluding episode was a little enigmatic to me when I saw it on broadcast. Here I got to watch it with a bit more focus. It was still somewhat enigmatic - though I think that was by design - and even more enjoyable the second time around.

Even my girlfriend at the time of original broadcast loved this show. And she only kind of liked science fiction.

4/5 Another Awesome Season!!!

Get ready to leap again with Dr. Sam Beckett one last time as he continues to put right that once went wrong, with the help of Al. This season, Sam becomes Lee Harvey Oswald, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe's driver, becomes stranded on an island with smokin' hot Brooke Sheilds, a legless Vietnam vet, a criminal who has taken a mother and her daughter hostage, sees UFOs, leaps back into Jimmy, a bigamist, a housewife who believes in feminism, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a vampire who lives in a gothic castle, leaps way back to 1862 as his great-grandfather, and finally sees who has been leaping him around for 5 years! I highly recommend QUANTUM LEAP: THE COMPLETE 5TH SEASON!!!

I loved this edition, however, 2 of the disks had a bad sector and 2 whole episodes were missed from the bad disk area.
