    • Trivia
      In the scenes where Sam Beckett is seeing someone else's reflection in the mirror these scenes are shot on a dual set using a clear glass mirror in which Scott Bakula would stand on one side and the actor or actress he'd leap into would stand on the other side.
    • Goofs
      For the "mirror reflections" in which Sam sees whom he leaps into, the series used a dual set with a clear glass in the "mirror". Scott Bakula would stand on one side, and the actor playing the person he leaped into on the other. Looking closely at the glass, Bakula's reflection can sometimes be seen, especially if the mirror is near a source of light like sunshine.
    • Quotes

      [Repeated line]

      Sam: Oh, boy...

    • Alternate versions
      Airings on the Comet digital channel have a recap of the previous episode at the top of some Season 2 shows, and restores Sam's end-of-episode leaps into a rerun, as originally aired, instead of the next scheduled first-run episode.

    Time Tunnel rebooted

    I remember watching the 60s classic The Time Tunnel and Quantum Leap was a kind of reboot, with time travel being the main game. Anyway, Scott Bakula was born for this role and I'm pleased it ran five seasons, almost 100 episodes, sort of the magic number for syndication at the time.
