Premiering on NBC in 1989 and continuing for five seasons,
Quantum Leap gained a cult following for its ability to balance the qualities of science fiction with the hour-long television drama format. Each episode features a different adventure as Sam Beckett (
Scott Bakula) leaps through time, into different bodies, hoping to someday leap home. Along the way, Sam rights wrongs of the past with help from his hologram companion, Al (
Dean Stockwell). Quantum Leap: The Color of Truth finds Sam inhabiting the body of an elderly African-American man as he faces adversity in the Southern United States of the 1950s. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
