The Quantum Leap Season 1 DVD in this listing is the Mill Creek Entertainment edition, released on June 7, 2016, two months after Mill Creek acquired the rights to the series. It holds all 9 episodes of the show's first season, broadcast on NBC in the spring of 1989.
It is a standard DVD, so it plays in DVD players and in Blu-ray players. Mill Creek released Seasons 1 and 2 on the same day, so this set pairs naturally with the second season.
Quantum Leap is an American TV series that ran on NBC from March 26, 1989 to May 5, 1993, for five seasons and 97 episodes. Donald P. Bellisario created the show, which was produced by Belisarius Productions and Universal Television.
Scott Bakula plays Dr. Sam Beckett, a physicist who tries out his own Project Quantum Leap accelerator and ends up lost in the past. Each episode drops him into someone else's body at a moment when something went wrong, and he has to fix it before he can leap again, always hoping the next jump will be the one that takes him home.
Dean Stockwell plays Rear Admiral Al Calavicci, who visits Sam as a hologram that no one else can see. Al advises him, with help from the project's computer, Ziggy. Season 1 episodes include "Star-Crossed", "How the Tess Was Won", "Double Identity" and the finale, "Play It Again, Seymour".
With only 9 episodes, the first season is a quick, satisfying way to get to know Sam and Al. It also includes "Genesis", the pilot that explains how Sam became lost in time.
Owning Quantum Leap: The Complete First Season on disc means you can rewatch Sam's earliest leaps whenever you like, with no subscription and no streaming service deciding when the show disappears.

Worth the wait
This is the edition that was recommended to me and others by Obscurus Lupa.
I have to say, it was clearly done with a lot of love for the fans who still like the show after so much time. The digital restoration on picture and sound is an improvement on the original. You can hear things sharper and the picture quality is vastly improved. That doesn’t mean much to most people, but if you are distracted by the quality of the picture and sound, then you will have a harder time enjoying the show.
As for the seasons, the first two seasons were easily the best of the series. In later seasons, you had some more gimmicky premises for the show around historical figures, or it played like a rip off of a popular film. In this case, the shows are pretty fresh with a lot of the stories told. None of the characters feel settled, and the guest actors for the show are generally pretty good.
You’ll enjoy the way the shows can feel like a mystery sometimes.

One of the Best
I bought this as a gift for a fellow enthusiast. This is one of the best and most original TV series of the many I’ve seen over the years. Although there is often humor, there is a wonderful sense of compassion as well, and the “message” that one person can make a difference in incidents both large and small that affect the world: the greater world, or the small one of some individual person which is no less important to that person… and may, at some future time, affect the greater world as well. The only “science fiction” aspect is the time travel–and of course the ability to “inhabit” another person’s life (while that person is temporarily removed to a safe environment, I might add).

Yes!
Restored music, great transfer. I owned the original release and you can tell immediately that Mill Creek put some work into this. The video and audio are both super clear. I was able to pick up Season 1 & 2 for $10. That is crazy. I remember spending way more on Universal’s original, lazy releases. Please, Mill Creek, bring the rest of the series out with the same care. I have no problem paying more for quality.
