Featured review
Could be picked up . . .
The original Quantum Leap (1989-1993) ended on what series creator Donald Bellisario said was intended to be a season (not series) ending episode. For many, this left a bitter taste of unexplained lees. The reboot (in 2022) seemed to offer the promise of answers that many had hoped would occur for 29 years. There were many hints as to the mechanics of quantum leaping (e.g., s1e11); yet we are left with -- if possible -- more unanswered questions. For fans of television series (who invest time+ in a series), canceling abruptly leads to anger at those who canceled the show (in this case, NBC executives). NBC does have an out, with precedence. After they canceled the series "Timeless," Sony Pictures Television picked it up, and allowed for a double-length closure episode. Given that streaming shows can subsist on relatively meager ratings, the "Timeless" reboot was successful. Sony (and NBC) can agree to the same fate for Quantum Leap. With even one short additional season, fans, actors, writers and even advertisers can get to closure. If nothing else, such a plan would ease the way to a more lucrative syndication of the series.
