Storyline
Although the Project Quantum Leap isn't ready yet, Sam Beckett doesn't listen to supercomputer Ziggy, hops into the Accelerator and leaps. As Tom Stratton, an Air Force test pilot about to attempt a dangerous flight. Sam finds his memory Swiss cheesed, with only enough left to know that he is not where or when he belongs. According to Sam's friend and partner Al, who appears to him as a hologram nobody else can see, Al explains that the Project has gone awry and in order to leap out of the pilot's body, Sam must successfully fly the X-2 to Mach 3, which according to historical records, ended in a fatal crash.

This is the best show ever made. Each episode was exciting because each week, each episode was different, and the show never got boring. My favorite show is Quantum Leap.
The best three shows are Quantum Leap, Married With Children, and Wings.
Favorite Quantum Leap episodes are
1. Unchained 2. Justice 3. The Leap Home PTS 1 and 2 4. Glitter Rock 5. Play Ball
Of course I love them all, but these are my absolute favorites.
