Reply to comment by akwayah in It Still Stings: Quantum Leap's Title Card Typo and the Series Finale that Never Made It Home by SanderSo47

Honestly, the first 3 episodes are way too serialized (it focuses on shit in the present day) - by episode 5 they have a much better balance of leap & present.

It is a passable network TV show - it's nothing amazing, but it is fun if you want something mindless for 42 minutes.

I found myself enjoying it a lot more than I expected. But I liked the more standalone nature of the original better, this one has too much of the present day plotline going on, you can't just jump into the show, you have to watch it from the start to keep up.

Idk, sounds like a pass. The original just has a special place in childhood for me, the only reboot I think that has been pulled off successfully is Bel-air, and that's basically a reimagining & not a reboot.

Did they even keep the theme song?

No theme song, the show does acknowledge the existanse of Sam and Al and the previous project quantum leap. It's not awful but it's not great either. It's okay. It Needs a bit of work.

I'll save myself the disappointment in that case.

What modern show ever has an intro anymore? Gotta squeeze in as much advertising as possible
