If you are like me, then you are still missing Quantum Leap. We are not going to get the show back with new episodes, but we are getting the next big thing. That’s because we are going to see Sam and Al together again on NCIS: New Orleans.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Dean Stockwell will guest star on the season’s biggest new show sometime next month. EW says he “will play Tom Hamilton, a proud and spirited retired New Orleans cop who still has his wits about him. When confronted by investigators about a murder 40 years ago, he arrogantly pushes back using his knowledge and experience. Tom Hamilton is also the father of Councilman Douglas Hamilton (recurring guest star Steven Weber).”
Sounds like his character could be back working with Scott Bakula again at some point during the show’s run, which is perfectly fine with me. Quantum Leap wasn’t only great because of the storylines, it was also great because of the chemistry between the two actors. Something I can’t wait to see when the two of them share the small screen together again after 21 years.
How excited are you for this TV reunion?
Even though Quantum Leap ended almost 21 years ago, Scott Bakula is still leaping, Yesterday on The Arsenio Hall Show, it was revealed that he leaped into the late night’s host body after his last visit on the original version of the talk show. Too bad he couldn’t have leaped into the head of TNT’s body to save Men of a Certain Age because that was such a good show. Actually better yet, too bad he didn’t leap into the head of NBC’s body and saved Quantum Leap all those years ago.
So here is a funny story about Quantum Leap, my dad discovered the show on G4 and feel in love with it. Then one day he called me all upset, and that is because the network suddenly cancelled the show. But that wasn’t the only reason why he was upset, the last episode that they aired was the first part of a two parter. So he doesn’t know how the JFK episode ended and I tease him every now and again threatening to tell him how ended. And to make matters worse that episode is not on Netflix or Hulu, and I am too cheap to buy him the DVDs. Although one day I might give in because he is still upset that the show got cancelled. Almost as much as I was when it was cancelled the first time.
Before someone knew Troian Bellisario’s secrets on Pretty Little Liars, she knew Sam’s secret on Quantum Leap. How absolutely awwwdorable was the 4 year old in that 1990 episode?
