Crow: "If you look at some of the other 13-episode action shows from that era, like 'Manimal,' 'Misfits of Science,' 'Supertrain,' it was pretty good - 'Tales of the Gold Monkey' - they were all inspired yet clearly superior to this piece of junk."
Quantum Leap has several references to producer Donald P. Bellisario's previous show including a character named "Gushie". "Ghost Ship" featured Captain Cutter, who was the main character in the series.
