Trivia
The Project Quantum Leap computer, Ziggy, was referred to as "he", with Al even once suggesting that "he" needed a "girl computer" next to "him", until this episode where the workings of Project Quantum Leap are seen in detail. Ziggy turned out to be a computer with a very flirtatious female personality, and thereafter was always referred to as "she".

Goofs
To determine the year that Al has leapt into, Sam observes a calendar open to July 1945, beginning on a Monday. However, July 1945 began on a Sunday.

Quotes
Sam: Oh, my God. I'm home. I'm home, Al.

The Leap Back , perfect leaping Episode .

This was Quantum Leap at It's best , especially the switching personalities of Sam and Al , that was great , and seeing where it all happened , finally seeing all the characters in Sam's life . And seeing Sam's wife too, Donna ,beautiful lady and a most beautiful actress that portrayed her as well, Mimi Kuzyk was or is a beautiful actress as well as gifted and talented too .

Quantum Leap , like MASH , Star Trek , and Sliders , were great TV as well , they were what science fiction and comedy was about , . Let's hope the new Journeyman on TV this fall does as well . Too bad Battlestar Galactica is going off the air, that was perfect science fiction and drama combined . So long to everyone on Battlestar Galactica . Thankyou also .
