Storyline
Sam leaps into himself as a 16 year-old and gets to re-live a very happy time in his life. His father is still alive, and his mother and sister are happy as well. Al tells him that he's likely there to re-play the big championship basketball game his high school lost. If they win, several members of the team will go on to greater careers that they have had, including college scholarships and professional basketball careers. Sam isn't sure he wants to replay the game as it will likely cause him to leap and he wants to stay with his family. He hopes to get his father, who will die in three years, to quit smoking, his sister not to elope with her boyfriend and to persuade his older brother Tom not to go to Vietnam. Written by garykmcd

Sam leaps into himself and frets over his father dying of a heart attack and his brother being killed in Viet Nam.
He frowns and frowns and frowns.
Makes the situation worse, of course. Are we supposed to be rooting for this guy? Hey, everybody, let's protest the Viet Nam war ALL OVER AGAIN! Talk about flogging a freakin' dead horse.
The funniest by far is when Sam sings "IMagine" by John Lennon to his little sister and it makes her cry and upsets her.
It amazes me how this show and Sally Jessy Raphael (wow, whatever happened to that totally annoying woman?) treat "Imagine" as some flippin' anthem that would make all our lives so much better, . . . . . if we just followed that beautiful, beautiful (sob), beautiful message, . . . .
BUT English comedian Chris Barrie will quote from the song on the comedy "Brittas Empire" and come across like a total buffoon! Maybe because to listen to songs and sing along with them is fun to do, but to quote them so seriously and act as tho we have to alter our lives by what lyrics say is utterly ridiculous.
"You May Say I'm A Dreamer, . . . " Oh, yes.
"But I'm Not The Only One, . . . " Unfortunately.
"I Hope Some Day You Will Join Us . . . " Thankfuly, no.
"And The World Will Live As One." Not with this message, I'm afraid. It will NEVER happen.
Remember the song is called "IMAGINE". Thats make believe, Mr. Rogers!
