‘QUANTUM’ VIEWING

I certainly enjoyed the July 15 cover story on “Quantum Leap.” Being a sci-fi fan, this show immediately was appealing to me. It has mystery, romance, science fiction and humor. The latter is provided by the interaction between Sam (Scott Bakula) and Al (Dean Stockwell).

I am glad the series was renewed and will be presented on Friday (at 8 p.m.). Now if its time slot could be at 9 p.m., that would be even better. But it doesn’t matter; I watched the series every night it aired during “Quantum Leap” week.

Bakula certainly gets into his characters. By the end of each show, he actually takes on the characteristics of the person whose life he assumes. That’s great acting. Not to ignore Stockwell. No one could play the wisecracking, boyish hologram any better.

Three cheers for a clean, fun-loving program.
