The Quantum Leap Season 1 DVD collects all 9 episodes of the time-travel series' first season, which aired on NBC from March 26 to May 17, 1989. This listing matches Universal's Region 1 DVD release of June 8, 2004.
Universal's season sets were digitally remastered, and they play in standard US DVD players and in Blu-ray players. Fans later noticed that many songs in the Universal DVD releases had been replaced because of music rights issues, so some scenes sound different from the original broadcasts.
Quantum Leap ran on NBC for five seasons and 97 episodes, from 1989 to 1993. Scott Bakula stars as Dr. Sam Beckett, a physicist who tests his Project Quantum Leap accelerator on himself and is thrown into the past, where he inhabits other people's bodies.
Dean Stockwell plays Rear Admiral Al Calavicci, Sam's guide, who appears as a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. With help from Ziggy, the project's computer, Al helps Sam work out what went wrong in each life so he can put it right, in the hope that the next leap will take him home.
The first season opens with the pilot "Genesis" and sends Sam to the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Other episodes include "Star-Crossed", "The Right Hand of God", "How the Tess Was Won", "Double Identity", "The Color of Truth" and "Camikazi Kid".
Season one is the shortest of the five, so it is an easy way to start the series and meet Sam and Al before the longer 22-episode seasons that follow. The Emmy-recognized pilot "Genesis" sets up the rules of the show in a single story.
Having Quantum Leap Season One on disc means the episodes are always ready to play, with no subscription and no worry about the show leaving a streaming service.

– Classic – WAY better then the reboot –
– Watched the first episode of the “reboot” of this series & quickly realized – the reboot is junk compared to the original series – the original series had a humility to it in Dr. Sam Becket’s character – the reboot came across as a bunch of cardboard characters that were all just bored on the set & just there to collect their paychecks – certainly none of the original human touch & what’s with all the violence in the first episode ? – a bank heist ? – really – couldn’t come up with a original concept ? – thus – bought the first & second seasons of the original series just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything –

Season 1 of Quantum Leap
This is the first season which Dr. Samuel Beckett is transported back in time to right wrongs and change people’s lives for the better. In the pilot he only knows his name and a phone number but with help from his friend Al learns what his last name is which gives him the opportunity to call his father and talk to him. In other episodes Sam is able to help the woman he loves to see her father and repair their relationship, he fights for nuns to build a chapel, learns how to be a cowboy to marry the daughter of the ranch owner, a mafia hitman that is in love with a ex-girlfriend of the godfather of the mafia, becomes a black man in the South before the Civil Rights movement took place, keep his sister from marrying an abusive alcoholic which jogs Sam’s memory of his own sister’s experience of spousal abuse and the final episode of the season Sam has to find the killer of his P.I. partner after he leaps into the office in front of his partner’s dead body. The last episode has many references to the movie Casablanca with many of the people mistaking Sam’s character for Humphrey Bogart. The special features are A Kiss with History: Remembering Quantum Leap and insights into each episode for the season.
