Quantum Leap (1989)
Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

What critics compared Quantum Leap to
…the blue swirly place functions a lot like the waiting room in Quantum Leap…
…with Bill Gates’ dad as one of his students in a nice moment that recalls Quantum Leap’s “kiss with history” cameos…
…the show does another one of those awkward, Quantum Leap-inspired kiss-with-history moments…
…is the “Quantum Leap” trigger to retell the timeline of Walker’s story from two additional perspectives…
We haven’t had nearly enough of these “Oh boy” Quantum Leap-style endings in the 21st century episodic format…
