Back To Index Quantum Leap - The Complete Third Season
 Barnes & Noble In the 1990-91 season, Quantum Leap proceeds along the lines and within the formula established in the series first two years: alternating dramatic and comedic plotlines and throwing in the occasional socially conscious episode. Scott Bakula is back as time-traveling Dr. Sam Beckett, whose Quantum Leap accelerator enables him to jump from body to body and thus alter many lives. Dean Stockwell returns as Al Calavicci, who communicates with the scientist in the form of a hologram only Sam can see and hear. Series creator Donald Bellisario gets Season 3 off to a rollicking start by writing a two-parter, "The Leap Home," in which Sam jumps into his own body at age 16. Now he has a chance to affect his own familys destiny and possibly save the brother he lost during the Vietnam War. "Black and White on Fire" finds Sam inhabiting the body of an African-American medical student caught with his white fiancée in the middle of the 1965 race riots in Watts. Motorcycle movies of the 50s and 60s are lampooned in "Rebel Without a Clue," which has Sam in the body of a biker. Hes a lounge lizard on the run from Mob hit men in "Piano Man," a takeoff on Some Like It Hot and Shoot the Piano Player. And he tries to avert the murder of a rock star in "Glitter Rock," a satisfying mystery set in 1974. One of the years very best episodes, "Nuclear Family," takes place in 1962 against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Bellisario’s writing contributions had lessened at this point, but his continuing creative input is readily apparent; Quantum Leap remains consistently excellent throughout the year, and this group of 22 shows includes many fan favorites.
