What’s your favorite Quantum Leap episode?

Apr 212012

One of my favorite episodes of Quantum Leapis the second-season episode titled “What Price Gloria?”.

In the beginning of the episode, Sam leaps into his next host and the first thing you notice other than the bathroom lighting is the fact that he’s in a bathtub. From outside the door, a woman’s voice yells something like, “Sam, hurry up”. Sam is absolutely ecstatic because this is the first time since he’s started leaping that someone has called him Sam.

Getting out of the tub, he checks the mirror and learns that in this case, “Sam” is short for “Samantha” and this is also the first time his host has been female.

“Oh Boy”

So, the question goes to the readers: To Leap or not to Leap?

Episode six of The Incredible Hulk, titled “Terror In Times Square”, was originally aired on this date in 1978.

The episode features one of the show’s most famous scenes: The Hulk running wild through the streets of New York during rush hour. If you’ve ever been stuck in the Big Apple’s rush hour, this otherwise average episode is worth watching for that scene alone.

Plot Summary

The fifth episode of The Incredible Hulk, “Of Guilt, Models, And Murder” was first aired on this date in 1978.

Guest stars include Loni Anderson of WKRP in Cincinnati and Jeremy Brett, who would go on to play Sherlock Holmes in several television series and movies between 1984 and 1994.

Plot Summary

David emerges from one of his transformations, at the scene of a murder. Believing that the creature might have killed a young model, David attempts to “put together” the events leading up to the murder by investigating the crime scene and the characters close to the model during her last hours.
