Quantum Leap - The Complete Third Season (DVD, 2005, 3-Disc Set)

The clock-stopping, heart-pounding adventures continue in the third extraoridnary season of the Emmy Award-winning "Quantum Leap". In these 22 thrilling episodes, Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) leaps from one exciting identity and time to another, still chasing his dream to return to the present, and desperately hoping that time is on his side. Sam'a a Navy SEAL, a beauty pageant contestant, a bounty hunter, and a rock star (who really sings!) He even voyages to his 16-year-old self, exploring his family's history and striving to change their tragic past. Returning to guide the action-packed journeys is smart-mouthed Al (Dean Stockwell), a holograph that only Sam can see and hear, and timeless guest stars: Josie Bissett (Melrose Place), Tia Carrere (Wayne's World), Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld) and Debbie Allen (Fame). This groundbreaking third season, now available to own for the first time with digitally remastered picture on three double-sided DVDs, is one that you can't afford to miss! This volume contains episodes such as "Black On White On Fire", where Sam leaps into a black man in love with a white woman in Los Angeles; "8 1/2 Months", about a pregnant teenage girl; "Glitter Rock", where he is the lead singer of a British heavy metal band; "Heart Of A Champion", as the brother of a professional wrestler who must keep him from being killed in the ring; and "A Little Miracle", the legendary Christmas episode where Sam and Al try to change the heart of a real "Scrooge". This third season proves that this program only gets better with each episode, as Sam continually makes right what once went wrong!

Quantum Leap is one of my favorite TV shows. I can't imagine having one season and not having all of them. For that reason, I would not hesitate to recommend season 3. I had heard that some of the original music was replaced on some of the seasons because of some copyright thing. This made me hesitate to buy, but in the end I chose to buy the series sets anyway. It was the only way to have them. I don't regret buying them and didn't miss the omitted or replaced music. Do some research to make sure I am correct about the music. Others say that region 2 has the original music, so if you have a player that plays region 2 DVD's, you are set. Either way, it is still a great set. Quantum Leap is a daring sci-fi series that depicts the idea of time travel and was successful. It's funny and serious, captivating and clean. In my mind it's the first of its kind to take time travel and make it believable. And the fact that it lasted 5 seasons makes it impressive. More impressive is that it's fun to watch over and over. It seems to me that it lead the way into a whole new kind of TV show. Unique in it’s time. I agree with another review, it's sad that they didn't take the time to acquire the rights to the songs and keep the sets consistent with the original shows. It takes the excellence out of the sets, but they are still very good. I bought all 5 seasons.

Quantum Leap was the one well thought series that came to television. Sam and Al was the great parnters and the advance they find themselves into was great writer. The stories was base on real facts and sometime on very personal levels.

If you like a mixture of laughs, with sadness, and a little mystery every once in a while, pick up quantum leap, it consists of five seasons and they are all top notch, the video quality is perfect and the acting is great, the end of every episode makes you want to go to the next right now, its like a great book that you can't put down, if you like shows that pull at your heartstrings this is the one you want, it is an all out feel good series, hope this helps.

This is one of the better seasons of Quantum Leap. The shows include a Halloween show where Sam is a writer and has to figure out a series of murders. This is a must have for any Quantum Leap fan.
