1. Dean Stockwell was a star all of my life!

I remember "The Boy With Green Hair" - fascinating story for a child!


And the most arrogant snot I ever saw in "The Happy Years." Unforgettable!

[Dennis Donovan]

2. I saw Dean in your OP so I started looking to see how he's been...

...being a HUGE Quantum Leap fan, and I found this pic of Sam and Al 25 years on:

3. And here they are, back in the day. One of my favorite shows, too!

[Dennis Donovan]

4. My favorite was the Lee Harvey Oswald one...

...where Sam leaps into LHO and, inexplicably, cannot stop himself from shooting at JFK (he's under the assumption he was there to stop the whole assassination). Come to find out, in the original history, both JFK and Jackie were shot - Sam leaped into Oswald to prevent HER from being killed along with JFK.

Mind bending stuff!

[Rhiannon12866]

5. I think I remember that one!

Another fact I remember was that anywhere Sam ended up, it had to be a time during his lifetime. They have to be showing them on TV now somewhere! Some shows become dated, but I can't see that happening with this show and I'd love to see them again!
