Quantum Leap - The Complete Fourth Season (1989)

Scott Bakula (STAR TREK - ENTERPRISE) stars as brilliant scientist Sam Beckett who in experimenting with time travel loses himself in a perpetual warp that catapults him into the bodies and lives of random people throughout time. While he temporarily inhabits a person's body Sam also must solve a problem or mystery in that person's life (the solving of which triggers another jump). Continually trying to find a way to his home time Sam has the help of Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci (Dean Stockwell) who appears in hologram form and the supercomputer Ziggy (voiced by Deborah Pratt) which provides clues for solving each episode's mystery. This collection contains all of the episodes in the fourth season of the very popular cult series.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 025192922923 Manufacturer No: 29229 Product Description

Very good series

Start with Season One, because you'll want to catch the whole story arch, but you won't want to miss the wrap up in season 5. September 10, 2008

"Running For Honor" episode is worth value of the whole set

My brother told me about the episode "Running For Honor" when it aired in Australia in the early nineties - but I had to wait for the DVD (in 2007) to see it myself. I'm impressed with how entertaining this episode is, while also dealing with a wide range of the issues around homophobia (including internalised homophobia).

I particularly appreciate that Sam is totally at ease in his temporary new skin as naval sports jock Tommy - readily accepting Ziggy's strong prediction (86%) that Tommy is gay.

Previous seasons of Quantum Leap have informed us that Sam Beckett is honest, compassionate and refreshingly free of prejudice. And so in this program Sam quickly pulls Al back into line for making ill-informed value judgements about Tommy's natural mannerisms.

This show has relevance to gays to the military - but it's really a universal statement that homophobia is everyone's problem.

I've always had a crush on Scott Bakula (and a boyhood crush on Dean Stockwell). I now have even more respect for these two fine actors.

This episode alone is well worth the purchase price of the 4th season DVD set. The quality of the video and stereo audio on the DVDs of all five seasons are first class.

Quantum Leap

Arrived in a timely manner and in great shape. Thank you very much! :) April 7, 2008

THE MUSIC!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice... go to amazon.co.uk and order the British releases of these DVDs, if you have a player that will support them. They use the ORIGINAL music, not the stuff on the DVDs released in the U.S. Also, if you do the conversion, they cost the same if not less even with shipping. Please also do not order the British complete package, as you cannot play the final episode, according to several posters. Get each season separately. It adds up to about the same. I live in VA and it was only 12 GBP to ship all five seasons. Well worth it, if you want the series the way it was intended. My two cents... January 16, 2008
